Props To My Peeps

This weeks prop is a little late but I want to send it out anyway. I've followed this person on Twitter for some time and I just enjoy what she has to say. Her cheery attitude and comments are always uplifting. Unfortunately we don't really know each other but I know her family and friends are better for knowing her. The reason I wanted to throw a prop out to her was for her continued positive affect on my life.She goes by Hooeyspewer which I thought was an interesting name. Take some time and get to know her a little better. Read...

Today's prop goes out to Douglas Cootey. Douglas has been helping behind the scenes of PodCampSLC for the past few weeks, among a hundred other tasks. He was gracious enough to get a logo created for our event and is working on a few more projects.The name Douglas gave his blog is pretty interesting, The Splintered Mind, and it recently won an exciting award, one of the Top Ten Depression blogs, and I ain't talking about a depressing blog. Douglas writes about depression, ADHD and a few other things. He's funny and has a very...

I've slacked over the past few weeks on my weekly props and thought it was a good time get back at it.This weeks prop goes out to Brad Baldwin. I recently connected with Brad at a really great pizza place in Draper Utah. Brad is a driving force behind Rocky Mountain Voices. I've known who Brad is for some time but was never able to meet. He reached out through LinkedIn which is pretty cool.One thing I've learned about Brad is he really wants to build a strong community of new media providers and consumers. There are a number...

This weeks Prop goes out to a Twitter friend Jim Long. It's one thing to see news on the Internet, on the radio or TV. It's a whole different experience when you read about it through the eyes of the man who is capturing it on Video. Jim Long is a cameraman for NBC News. Since I started following what Jim had to say on Twitter, I've come to learn just how important Jim and skills are to the news he reports. I've also gotten an inside seat as news is happening. For instance, one Sunday when Jim was shooting a news program, he...

This weeks props go out to my Sister In Law V, Cameron Reilly and the band Metallica. Sister-in-law V, thank you for introducing my girls to the wildly popular book series by Stephenie Meyer; Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. They can't put them down. I bought several copies, of each. Apparently you should read these books too. My next prop goes out to Cameron Reilly, founder and CEO of The Podcast Network. I can't possibly know how much work goes into running a service like TPN. I know Cameron has many people helping him and...

This weeks prop goes to my Daughter J. There are several things I really appreciate about her. One is her desire to be the best she can. She is into horse training, riding and competing. I've never seen someone with such dedication to her school work and her passion for horses. She and I will be working on a new web site about her horses, competitions and friends. Stories, photos and videos. I think she'll have a blast, I know I will. My other kids are great too. I don't want to leave them out. But this one is about ...

This weeks props go out to two guys that I enjoy working with and being around. The first is Steve Spencer and the other is Robert Merrill. Steve Spencer is President of Twelve Horses, a technology company in Salt Lake City, Utah. But it's not Steve's company that I want to thank him for rather his involvement in the local tech community. Steve's company sponsors quiet a few events, but more importantly Steve mentors, coaches and gets involved. He doesn't push his company as much as he could when sponsoring an event, but he...

This weeks props go out to the people living in my neighborhood, and another Twitter friend DayngrGirl. Last week there were several severe rain storms that dropped and incredible amount of rain in a very short amount of time. One particular family living just a few streets away from me experienced flooding in their basement. They lost many possessions and spent several days trying to clean up the mess. Our neighborhood instituted an emergency preparedness group for situations just like this. After a few phone calls this family...
