PR desktop wallpaper series

I got to thinking - Geez, we spend half our lives staring at a computer monitor - which then made me think how valuable that real estate actually is.

So I decided to start a PR desktop wallpaper series. A series of walllpapers (the goal is 100) which will act as little reminders as to what is important to remember when it comes to PR.

You'd think someone would have done something like this at some point, but nope, there's absolutely nothing out there. Who knows, maybe other PR folks will join in and we'll end up with a huge series of PR theme desktop wallpapers out there (which PR folks can then give to their CEO's to use on their computers and grow mind share as a result - I'm partly joking here).

I really like what Paver Smith did a while ago with daily PR tips on the iPhone.I think we need more of that knowledge capital sharing - because after all, a certain percentage of PR you can't learn in school (it's best practices and a thought process you can only gain from experience or from other professionals).

I figure I'll do one a week, so it will take a few years for the series to be completed (unless I decide to start banging out five of them a week or something, then obviously it will take less time).

I'll do my best ot make them look half-decent, but I'm not going to spend hours on the design (I'm not a graphic design artist after all). Try designing something half decent and you realize how essential having a great graphics designer on staff is!

With that said, let the series begin:

A Look Back on 2017 / A Look Forward to 2018

Hard to believe it's been two years (and six books) since I started publishing. Thought I'd take a moment to look back on the journey, some of the highlights and what's in store for the future. Eyes Wide Open I had no idea what this publishing path would be like - I went in blind with nothing more than an interest in telling a story. It turned out to be way harder than I could have imagined. You'd think writing a book wouldn't be that difficult, but it is. It's not so much the book that readers see that's hard to produce, it's the ideas and writing that get left on the cutting room floor. But beyond the actual stories, learning Photoshop to do my own covers, understanding how to market my books, learning how to create print versions, and a dozen other things really opened my eyes to how much effort is required to get a book to market. Along the way I’ve had my moments where I questioned my sanity to put myself through the process. But...

E-cigarettes: A PR battle Health Canada cannot win?

So I've now been using an e-cigarette (e-cig) for two months and thought I'd talk a bit about how I see the upcoming battle between Health Canada and e-cigs going. First though, let's do a quick overview of what exactly an e-cig is. Basically an e-cig vaporizes liquid that contains nicotine. The vapor is then inhaled. People who use e-cigs are called vapers (not smokers). Because the liquid is atomized (ie. vaporized), not burned the way tobacco is, vapers do not consider themselves 'smokers' in anyway. An e-cig is comprised of basically three components: The tank - this is the component that holds the juice (sometimes referred to as e-juice or e-liquid). The atomizer - this a coil and wick unit that atomizes the juice. When the coil is heated (from the battery) it atomizes the juice that has soaked into the wick. The battery - batteries for e-cigs come in various capacities (some last 8 hours, others 40+ hours, depending on their size).  The ba...
