Market recovery
At the exquisite Thai food blog of photographer Austin Bush, I found this video of the Samut Songkhram market, which is set up over the town’s railroad tracks! Watch how the vendors quickly get back to business after the train passes. Could this be a lesson on how to cope with disruptions in business? See the [...]

When I was a grade schooler, my dad was in sales. I don’t know if he was any good, but he had some immutable rules about business that he would share with me, the most important of which was “Don’t ever mix religion or politics with business.” This election season, however, I’m amazed how many professionals, [...]

My wife, who is a teacher at St. Paul Schools, has been working with Karen immigrants for the past couple years. These folks come from Burma, but have been chased through the jungles by the Burmese Army for more than 50 years. To a person, the Karen people my wife has met all have stories [...]

Oh my, has it been a week since we last talked? If we follow each other on Twitter, then it’s probably been more like a few minutes, as that’s where I’ve been spending/wasting my time.

15. September 2008
There’s a fair amount of hand-wringing on the part of marketing execs over what to do with social media (aka Web 2.0, Social Web). It’s on the news and in the papers, so the CEO hears about it and asks the CMO, “should we be doing that?” And so the lukewarm potato gets handed downward [...]

Yma Sumac is a singer who was famous in the 50s. Her particular gift was an amazing four-octave range, which you can hear in this song, Pachamama. It’s from the 1954 movie Secret of the Incas. (via Alejandro at Peru Food)

Look, you don’t have time to read a full post and I don’t have time to write one. So, let’s just click on some links and pretend we never had this discussion. (It’ll be our little secret.) WSJ Blog: Selling online software (a.k.a., SaaS – Software as a Service) isn’t as easy as previously thought. Requires [...]

I never would have step foot in the Amazon rainforest were it not for a failed trip to the mountains two years ago with my daughter. We went to Cusco, with the hope of making it to Machu Picchu, but instead met up with a case of soroche, or altitude sickness. Except for the World [...]

While visiting Corazón de Ñaupas, a Quechua-speaking village at about 12,000 feet (3,700 m), we were greeted with a number of dances, including this one, which involves friendly one-on-one wrestling matches. In this clip, you’ll see the kindergarten and elementary school teachers wrestling, followed by two high-school boys. Good, clean fun!
