Altyrian Interns

It’s been great working beside Erin during this summer. I agree with her completely that this internship experience was more than what you learned, but the people and environment you learned from. I wish her the best of luck in her senior year and for her future. As for me, the last week was my [...]

I was reading through John’s blog post on Political Candidates and Social Media and it reminded me of an article I read in Fast Company, The Brand Called Obama.  The article describes how Obama and his campaign is changing how future campaigns will run, win or lose.
I agree with John that Edwards was smart to [...]

Today’s my birthday…22nd.  To the kids I teach at tae kwon do, I’m old.  To the people at Altyris, I’m very young.  I suppose it’s always a matter of perspective.  I’m grateful for all the birthday wishes I received from everyone here.  It came with an awesome chocolate cake, a card signed by everyone, and [...]

I recently read an article about the court’s decision on FCC’s charge on CBS for “indecent exposure” during Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s halftime performance during the 2004 Super Bowl. The court overruled 2-to-1 the fines and charges made by the FCC on the basis that Jackson and Timberlake are not CBS employees but [...]

The press kit for the account I was given is just about ready.  All the press releases, media advisory and story tips for the media are done and just need a final look over before submission.  The kit should be submitted soon, which marks the completion of a big task in the account.  It’s great [...]

Recently me and Erin have been busy keying in media reports for Gwen and finishing up the press releases for the bike event.  I’m happy that the account for the bike event is progressing well.  Everything is getting done on time.  Erin and I are able to head out early today giving us a couple [...]

I was in Florida last week and I’m coming to think that vacations are far more exhausting than they are breaks. When you travel for vacation, you stress out trying to get ready and pack.  And when you finally get there, you spend so much energy trying to do every activity available.  Then you have [...]

I know it’s been a while since my last posting; it’s been a pretty busy week.  I mentioned earlier that John was out last week and left me and Erin a list of things to do.  We got done with most of it during that week and finished up the list in the beginning of [...]

So, John’s been out this week and me and Erin were left a list of jobs to do.  So far, so good.  It’s been a little tougher trying to figure things out and wondering if I’m doing things right or not without anyone to look over my work, but I suppose that’s a good thing.  [...]

Lately, I’ve been trying to learn more about blogging since I’m completely new to the “blog-o-sphere.” I’m shocked at the amount of info there is on blogging and just at the pure number of blogs on the web. I’m still learning about what widgets are, RSS, plugins and a list of other things (if this [...]
