In Search of Meaning (22): Jung, individuation, and the second half of life

42 the meaning of life

Something I’ve just stumbled on during routine Internet surfing is this stuff about the psyche, the individual, and Carl Jung. I’m not an expert in this kind of thing, but I am fascinated by it.

4 common pitfalls for seeing your marketing plan through

Yesterday DK stopped by a session on marketing tips for small businesses, hosted by Najat Cola of Seattle-based Cola Marketing group through Biznik.
We were curious about this, as we’ve lately been talking a lot with people about authenticity marketing, especially at our other site, Lightfootbranding.com. It was nice to take a step back and hear […]

Flashback to Copenhagen 4 design inspiration adventure

I’ve been missing train travel.

Weddings

From the Ireland 2001-2004 diaries: Driving in west County Cork

Most travelers don’t get out here, they stay in Cork and then go somewhere easy to get to, like Doolan or the Cliffs of Moher.
I had a license. And a car, my very own. And OK, it was a provisional license so I had to have a big sticker with a red ‘L’ on the […]
