I've tried to maintain an internal blog with only mixed success. I'm going to try again. Principally because I believe it's important the new social tools are adopted in-house, and there's no substitute for leading by example.

Practical experience is a necessary element in any innovative effort. I'm reminded of an experience I had when I was very young. I was small, skinny, and must have looked as much like a victim as I felt. One day I picked up a self-help self-defense book. I still remember the author's name: Bruce Tegner. I think this was the actual book. I read the thing cover to cover, imagined my new moves, and for a few weeks I felt like a lion. I bet you can guess what happened next.

Also, I'm inspired by Seth.
