Welcome to The Observatory — a platform from which I can not only explore the moon and stars, but also express my own point-of-view about the context in which we live and work.

My dear friend and collaborator, Nancy Egan, always tells us that we should write, teach, and testify. Over the past 15 years, in collaboration with Nancy Egan and Paul Nakazawa, I've been doing just that. But I came to want more.

I've always been an avid reader, and I enjoy forwarding articles of interest to others. In 2009, when I started using Twitter, I came to realize just how the world had changed. Quite suddenly, I had incredible access to people and ideas, as well as the ability to share them with others. I began to understand the real power of social media.

Then I began my own guerilla commentary. At first, I posted articles and information I gleaned from other sources, but by mid-2010, thanks in great part to my cohorts on Team Motley Crew, I had not one but several Posterous blogs.

This year, with the advent of this new website, and a lot of support and technical help from friends and advisors, I am shifting from Posterous to a real blog. I'll continue to use Posterous to post informative and provocative articles written by others, but I hope that you'll visit me here to learn more about what's new and what's next.

» Coming Soon: A Tribute to Weld Coxe in Marketer, the journal of the Society for Marketing Professional Services, which I had the great honor of curating.
