8 Habits Tag

I am not going to lie. I have never been a huge fan of chain letters or those "get to you know your friends" things. But Ben has tagged me with an 8 Habits deal. Just for you Ben, but I won't pass it on to anyone specifically. However, feel free to comment your own 8 habits.

1. I, too, shave in the shower. I have a wet/dry electric. It is tough without a mirror, so I usually have to go over once the mirror defogs.
2. I, too, enjoy fans and white noise when sleeping. However, I don't travel with any.
3. Each morning I walk the dog right after I get dressed and before breakfast. Usually the same route through my neighborhood.
4. When I get to work, I have a list of sites I look at each morning after I have answered my work email.
5. I am a complusive email checker. I get online and check email while watching TV at night.
6. I love my DVR and have appointment TV viewing. Last night was Rescue Me on FX. Great show. Got home late from dinner downtown, but was able to start the recording and fast forward through commercials. Brilliant.
7. I always try to get aisle seats when I fly. Just like it that way.
8. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I try to get something different off the menu. Unless I have been there enough times I have a staple of dishes I like. Then I just get one of those that I am in the mood for.

Now that you all know the above about me, feel free to buy me a morning (but not too early) aisle seat to fly to LA to see a taping of Rescue Me and get me dinner somewhere I haven't eaten with a hotel that has free wi-fi.

YIKES! Once again, not having my own blog means no tagging. A good thing.

Matt, you should get a fog free mirror with suction cups that you can hang on the wall of your shower. I found a great one at Target.

BTW - Exit Aisle for me and you should consider changing the route with the dog, he might like to see something new every once and a whil.

Where do you draw the line on social media?

I try to keep up. I have a feed reader . I blog . I comment on other people's blogs. I tweet . I have multiple websites . I have accounts on Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and others. But you have to draw the line somewhere. I wrote earlier about being app'd out . I still feel that way. But each day I feel farther behind. Maybe not behind, but not necessarily maximizing potential. I don't Digg. I don't StumbleUpon. OK, maybe I do like once a month if I have some spare time. But I know I am missing out on a lot of cool things. I usually check out other people's links to cool tools or the next new thing. But right now, I feel like I am in the Dip . Any suggestions on how to get out?

10 Thoughts on #ASAE10

Ok, so I could have spelled out the title, but chose the hashtag - #asae10. Supposedly there were over 8,000 tweets with the hashtag, but probably countless more direct messages of messages that left out the hashtag but were conference related. Two years ago, we were using twitter as a backchannel to talk about speakers. Now, over 800 people sent conference related tweets. If you aren't on Twitter, you are already late to the party. Anyway, on with the post... In no particular order, my thoughts on this years ASAE Annual Conference: 1. LA was a good venue. Lots to do. Hotels close by. Only downside was the rooms were a bit of a hike. 2. I missed Sunday because of family obligations. That really put me behind the 8 ball. Since I led a session, that meant I only got to go to 3 true sessions. Sorry, I don't count Joy Behar and the closing session. Although Marshall Goldsmith was good, I probably wouldn't have gone to see that speech as a Learning Lab. 3. Based on #...

I have a new job

I am so very excited to announce that as of Oct. 13, I will be the new Executive Director of the Arlington Soccer Association . This is the perfect opportunity for my to combine my work experience and my education (I have a Masters in Sports Administration) with one of my true passions, soccer. I played in college and still play several times a week (which may change since I will most likely be a touch busier.) I still plan on writing this blog. My guess is that you will see the topics change slightly to focus less on membership and more on overall association management areas. Thank you to all who have helped me along the way. I don't want to list names for fear of leaving anyone out, because Lord knows there are a lot. Wish me luck!
