This month’s “Bodacious Business Horoscopes” entry gingerly avoids being stung by the most secretive member of the zodiac system, Scorpio the Scorpion.

Can Your Next Blog Post Be Saved?
You’ve heard of writer’s block, but what about blogger’s block? Last week, faithfully following my blog’s editorial calendar, I duly created the exoskeleton of my next blog post.

The Benefits of Dictionary Page-Flipping…
Writers tend to be dictionary Bedouins. We double-check the spelling of a particular word but then wander a dictionary’s pages, noticing words we’ve never used.

And are those visions populated with an abundance of women? Do you see dead authors? Dead flowers? I searched high and low for possible… Continue Reading
Does Back to School Include Back to MOOCs?
Once upon a time (i.e., a few years ago), digital prognosticators predicted the demise of the traditional college experience via massive open online courses (MOOCs). But that Nostradamus-induced vision has yet to be realized. Oh yes, MOOCs are growing in popularity, but it turns out that they’re not primarily targeting college students anymore. All around… Continue Reading
South Jersey Spotlight: Lynette Davis, A & D Media
My enduring connection with Lynette Davis of A & D Media is proof that great business relationships can (and do) originate through social media. I will provide the necessary backstory. Lynette and I quasi-stalked each other on Twitter way back in 2012. We connected on LinkedIn that same year (in September) before broaching the idea… Continue Reading
