Progress

Driving though the progressive town of Manor, TX on Halloween night just before sunset, I came across something quite peculiar – a large QR code hanging from a fence that bordered a small city park. I decided to investigate. What I found amazed me. Manor (pronounced MAY-ner), Texas, this tiny town just east of Austin, [...]

Capillarity

Last night I was at a local mixer when a young man, Chris Contreras (@AustinVisMedia), came up to me and told me how much he enjoyed reading my blog. Thank you Chris, you have no idea how energizing it is to hear that what we do/write makes a difference; that someone is actually listening. I [...]

Plan B

Why we need a backup plan or “How I stopped worrying and loved the economy” Everyone needs a “Plan B”, a backup plan. When it comes to this economy we should all take a lesson from life and mentally lock away what we learned about losing our one source of income or the one home [...]

Philosophy

16 October 2010 by Joey McGirr in #WhyGuy, No Comments

Share – Engage – Connect Share: Let’s face it. The fact that social media even exists is due to the “share factor.” In her article, Witness Me, Claire Wagner nails the topic with laser precision. We want to let the world know we’re, “having a foot long sandwich from Subway.” Why? We’re social. It’s embedded in [...]

Read-ationships

7 October 2010 by Joey McGirr in #WhyGuy, 2 Comments

I was having coffee this morning with my friend and colleague when she asked me a perplexing question. “Would you suggest I get a blog or a twitter handle.” My response was, “What are your intentions?” Let’s face it; how you plan to blog is as important as what you blog. Why are they going [...]

Life Connects

I was reading an article on Yahoo about sea life and how scientists are cataloging the worlds sea critters. Did you know there are over 200,000 (201,206 to be exact) validated species swimming in our oceans? Expect that on a Qrank quiz soon, friends. However, what is so fascinating about the research isn’t the numbers, [...]

Why the Why Guy?

3 October 2010 by Joey McGirr in Just Writing, No Comments

Here’s a little story about me. In my youth I was your typical “Nice Guy.” And as the saying goes, “nice guys finish last.” Regardless of what you believe about the above statement, nice guys tend to be a little more trusting (even when they know better) and the inevitable always happens; they finish last.
