Wow! Is it time for Sunday Snippets again? This has been a whirlwind week. I found a Chinese saying that describes my life right now quite well.
一日千秋 (yírìqiānqiū) = “one day, a thousand autumns” – implies rapid changes; one day equals a thousand years.
This week seems like a few seconds. Let’s take a quick look at what has happened this week. I honestly cannot remember. Oh yeah, I read an interesting story about the power of giving – How to Be Beautiful. Along the same lines I launched a new website for a non-profit this week. Read about it here.
I also talked about how all of this information that we are putting on the internets (wow that passed spellcheck?!?) is very temporary. It is the relationships these conversations build that is important. More on that some other day.
Just a thought: I know why people hate macs – they make you feel stupid for looking for an application to do something that is built into the OS. You think you have have have to get a separate application, because that is what you did in Windows. Also you can’t find any software for Macs because the OS already does everything.
Quote of the week:
Good friends don’t let you do stupid things… alone.

lgedeon @romanoff Wow! Awesome background. |
|
lgedeon @ianonmac Also http://snurl.com/2532e might help clear up the class versus ID issue that might be confusing things a bit. |
|
lgedeon @Scobleizer – Wow! Thank you! |
 |
Scobleizer @lgedeon is begging me to help with http://caring4china.com — worth retweeting. |
|
lgedeon @Scobleizer I am working with CCC and need all the help we can get. Tech, accounting, fund raising, etc. http://caring4china.com/ |
|
lgedeon Down side of 30 times average traffic all in one day is – for the next month your stats looks like a flat line at the bottom of the graph  |
 |
thethp Police make breaking and entering so difficult. |
 |
giddytab I just sang Jesus Loves Me in harmony with my 8 year old daughter!!!!! |
|
lgedeon My wife likes me! |
 |
onekim @lgedeon re twitter on business card: interesting idea. Put in how you want people to contact you? I think phone’s needed for non-techs |
|
Scobleizer Today’s trip made me feel very small. Like I’ve done nothing with my life and that I need to do more. Very insprational. |
|
Scobleizer We visited a school where Darfur kids are taught along with kids from 29 countries. Makes any problems I have mighty small. |
 |
ianonmac @lgedeon I think Twitter on a business card will make you more personable, approachable, and less ‘corporate’. |
|
ianonmac @lgedeon I’ll put Twitter on biz card, but not replacing phone or email. Consider what your customers will read about you. |
|
lgedeon Do you think I should put my twitter account on my business card instead of email? How about instead of phone? |
|
lgedeon @panache best windows laptop ever = MacBook |
|
Scobleizer @lgedeon I’m giving a speech to some PR types in San Jose on Saturday so might give them a public demo at noon of how to beg. |
|
Scobleizer NOTE TO PR PEOPLE AND ENTREPRENEURS: I am far less likely to talk about you or do what you want if you DM me than if you just beg in public. |
 |
thisKat (She saw it on the Sound of Music.) |
|
thisKat Just told the story about my kid, when she was 2, who raised her hand in the air and yelled Heil, Hitler! in the middle of New Seasons deli. |
 |
devindawson @lgedeon painfully a teacher’s pet the 2nd time through school. It’s an overreaction from my undergraduate degree of Not Present. |
|
lgedeon @devindawson Very cool tweetstream! Are you a teacher’s pet too? |
|
lgedeon Quotable Quote: He is sitting in his own shadow. |
|
lgedeon Just ate lunch outside. Spring is here! I wish my computer screen worked in intense sunlight. |
|
Scobleizer @dawntmoon if they told me it was a certain brand of chowder I wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. |
|
Scobleizer Trend: people say they hate me for being noisy but then post stuff like “very yummy Clam Chowder.” SEE YA!!! |
 |
Pistachio @aprilminz awesome. thanks for the link http://tinyurl.com/4tq6vw to that chills-inducing lovely story. |
|
lgedeon @alfredtwo twitter is also a handy way to reply to blog posts |
|
lgedeon @sdwint twitter gets more interesting when people start replying Hope this helps. |
 |
panache Email I received this morning: “skincancer is now following you via Twitter.” Well that’s scary. |
|
lgedeon Crashing “early” tonight. I am exhausted. I need some boot elves. |
