TommyLog – I’ve been laid off! FREE AGENT TOMMY

Hey kids – Hey Everyone – It’s Tommy and for today’s TommyLog,  I need to tell you something that’s not easy to share. Last week I was laid off at work. It was a low work situation and I was sacrificed for the good of the other workers. I understand it’s a business decision and I have to move on. I have utmost respect for that decision and I will miss my coworkers dearly. They were my work family and I really enjoyed each and everyone of them.

So today the new Tommy comes out– the new and improved Tommy!

I want to introduce TRC Media which is going to be my new company. I don’t know completely what it is, I’m still framing what it looks like. But I need to take my skills and I need to start solving problems for other people. I want to start immediately. As my buddy from Tommy Boy said “I got nothing but free time.”

So I’m reaching out to my network near and far. You of all watched my videos, many of you know of the social media influencing work that I do for some pretty big companies. Do you need help what you’re doing? How can I help you? Social Media,  Print,  Video,  Web –whatever it happens to be,  I can help.

I can connect you to the right people if needs be – let’s make this happen. Let’s start solving problems. No time to be down, no time to be depressed, only great things ahead. My network is just so amazing and it’s time for me to lean on you!

You know how to get a hold of me –all my channels are open -my ears are on. No project is too small– let’s talk, let’s meet, let’s Skype -let’s Facebook!

Let’s make this happen. You are awesome!!!

TommyLog – The Eagle has Landed

Well kids after about 10 days of self imposed radio silence, it’s time to take the wrapper off my shiny new job. I have been hired by Seaway printing in Green Bay, WI to be their Director of technology and I could not be more excited.

So many great new people to meet and things to so. I have been welcomed with open arms and the task list is growing by the moment. Better get working!

TommyLog – Upwards and Onward!

Well the cat is out of the bag. I have put in my 2 weeks notice at my current working place and now I’m off to bigger things. My time here has been amazing, but new opportunities come and this one was just too great to pass up.

It’s the hard to say goodbye, but the smile is just so wide on my face with the possibilities here.

TommyLog – No More Printed Encyclopedia Britannica

So this week we got word that Encyclopedia Britannica was stopping production of it’s printed edition after 200+ years. I’m actually stunned it lasted this long. I always thought that CD’s were a transitional technology for them and I guess that holds true. Is the yellow pages next?
