Mezzoman - Meet in the Middle!

This is a tool that needed to happen, and I want everyone I know to know about this because I meet people every day and it is great to be able to put their location in and my location in and let google show us where the coffee or restaurant is in that is directly in between us.

Mezzoman - Meet in the Middle!

PS. Then I use JiWire to find wi-fi then. It is a contact on my skype contact list that I put an address in a chat to and it tells me the wi-fi locations around that.

Context is everything

Ever heard a pop song that you just know if you heard it in church people would like it, but in a group of head bangers it probably means something different?

So does that mean that truth is relative?

I want to ask you another question.  If truth is relative, then why aren't we all floating out into space?  Gravity, no matter how "weak" they call it, is a force that isn't relative.  Some would argue that if a large enough asteroid hit the Earth then gravity wouldn't behave the same so it is relative, but that isn't true either.  Gravity behaves the way gravity behaves and it makes sense even in the asteroid event.

Circumstances might be different, but truth is truth.

So is context really everything?  Sure humans can redefine everything, and we try.  But, in the end there are a small subset of "things" which aren't negotiable.

This is true from a social, emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual aspect.

Instead of being afraid of the absolute truth, it comforts me.  Fear is often called False Evidence Appearing Real, and I think fear is the root of alot of evil.

Such fear causes evolutionists to be close-minded to Creation Science ideas and thus go out of their way to "prove" them wrong, when they should be scientists who consider every option.

So is context really everything?  Sometimes, but we humans make it more times than is absolutely necessary.

Part One: From Twits to Tweeple, Why I Embraced Twitter and You Should Too - Search Engine Guide Blog

So you don't get this social media and especially what Twitter is good for?

Part One: From Twits to Tweeple, Why I Embraced Twitter and You Should Too - Search Engine Guide Blog
Then, read this rebuttal of a dis on social media/networking sites:

Thanks to online networking tools like LinkedIn and Twitter (especially Twitter) I can not only keep in touch with contacts around the world, but can be introduced to new contacts. In fact, I spent a huge amount of time leveraging Twitter to network with local marketers in Houston before our spring Unleashed conference. I've also been able to leverage Twitter to meet a dozen or so new Ohio marketers that I haven't yet met in person, but will soon.

Like anything I guess, twitter only starts to make sense as you really use it. I was turned on to this service/server for finding local twitterers and it kicks. You can find people who don't need to be told what twitter is.

How to Change the World: The Art of the Business Card

I love the cards in this blog post by Guy Kawasaki.

How to Change the World: The Art of the Business Card

Here's how I got there too:
  • Brand yourself
  • Simple
  • Bold

Guy gets those three things. I saw him speak at the Envision08.com entrepreneurial conference in San Antonio and I loved his presentation on what fonts to use in a powerpoint before a VC panel.
