and the winner is

Armen Thomassian

Last month I held a contest for my one-year blogiversary. It was my first contest to hold, ever, and I was a little nervous to see how it would go. But after receiving over thirty comments it was my greatest post to date. It was a blast getting to read everyone’s comments. Some just came right out and explained why they wanted the note books, while others quoted whole poems (not sure what that was about). It even opened the door to make some new connections. Thanks again to everyone that stopped by and left your comments.

However, there could only be one winner and that’s what I wanted to share with you today.

interview: nectar

Nectar: A fresh look at you interview

If you were to look up Nectar in the dictionary you’d find a picture of the six sexiest guys you’ve ever seen, along with the definition: “A company built upon strong relationships with an even stronger commitment to serving up the best in personal branding on the web.”

I first met the men of Nectar back in August, well one-half of them anyways. Josiah, Caleb, Aaron and myself got to know each other at the Dallas Museum of Art. Then I met Dave for lunch the following week and that just seemed to really open the door to working with these guys. But it wasn’t until Nectar Hackathon 2.0 that I got to meet the rest of the team, Brett and Charles, and work right along side of them. These guys are the real deal with a lot of heart and a lot of passion for what they do. So without further ado, it’s my pleasure to present you with an in depth look at the minds behind Nectar.

connecting the less popular dots

Connecting the less popular dots

There is a current crisis going on in the blogosphere right now where we have a lot of quality blogs that are going unnoticed due to the massive amount of junk that is out there. (sort of reminds me of the Christian music scene.) In order to find something of quality you either have to [A] already be connected with other bloggers or [B] you have to spend a lot of time searching the vast internets. Seriously, if you don’t update your blog but once every two or three months then what’s the point?
