Tim Thoughts

I’m back. Well, in reality, I was never gone. I just wasn’t writing. If this was a newspaper, I would have had a number of complaints about why the paper hadn’t been delivered in weeks. So as a publisher, I’ve let my readers down in the Summer of ‘09. I’d like to use this post to fill you in on what I’ve been up to and any other thoughts that are on my mind.
Summer of Change
2009 has been a crazy year for me. I’ve had some of the best days …

Today was a really fun day. I ventured with my dad and Uncle Todd up to Akron to experience a day of watching the pro’s golf at Firestone. OK, officially, I suppose I attended the World Golf Championships Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club. And it was great! I had only been there once before, probably around 10 years ago. But at the time I didn’t love golf like I do now. Here are some thoughts from the day at Firestone.

Looking into the woods, Matt asked me a very serious question: “If something were to run out of there and attack us, what golf club would you use to protect yourself?”
Wow. Fast forward about 3 weeks and I’m still thinking about it. Let’s assume for the sake of conversation that the creature is not a bear, or a wolf, but …

It’s always exciting to receive a package in the mail. But recently I opened a package that meant more to mean than most. For co-authoring a chapter in a book, I was sent a copy of the 2-volume set in the mail.
With Sam Bradley, I had the opportunity to co-author Chapter 87, “Research in Advertising Campaign Design” in 21st Century Communication: A Reference Handbook. View the details on the SAGE Web site, or check it out on Amazon.
I’m so excited to have had the chance to include my thoughts in …

I haven’t done much blogging lately. I’ve been meaning to give an update on what I’ve been up to, and today I decided the best way to go about it is in the form of an interview. Unfortunately, nobody is around to interview me, so I’m going to do it myself.
It’s been over a month since you last updated this blog. What’s going on?
Well, when I created this blog, the idea was for it to be a creative outlet. It’s a place where I can write things that are on …

I write a post for this blog maybe only once a week, which is a real shame because I have plenty to share. I think it’s about time I get serious about writing some quality, thought-provoking content. And you know what would be even better than thought provoking? Conversation provoking.
So how do I plan to go about being a more conversation-provoking writer?
The way I see it, I need to write more frequently, with more focus, and on topics that are more relevant to those who read the blog. Well, I …
