The iPod Touch as marital aide: My wife and I love my iPod Touch. We lay in bed, one earpiece in my left ear, one in her right ear, and watch episodes of Showtime’s Weeds. We spend more time together and talk less. Clearly the iPod Touch (and all video iPods) was invented by a man!

Oh gee, what to say to my twin 13-year-olds about the 16-year-old star of the popular TV show they watch who got pregnant? According to the media, parents everywhere are struggling with this quandary. Here’s what we said to my young teen son and daughter: “That’s why 16-year-olds should not be having sex.” Gee, didn’t seem that hard to figure out what to tell them.

We’re doing a marketing video. Stay tuned — in a few weeks it will premiere on Blogenberg. Of course, I was interviewed. Now I have even greater empathy for the dozens of folks I media train every year. When you go on camera to talk about your business or your organization, something that means so much to you, man it’s hard. Much harder than the hundreds of interviews I’ve done “flacking” for some organization or issue.

My business New Year’s resolutions: market, market, market (interspersed with lots of work for clients that makes us proud). As 2008 starts, I’m exceedingly excited and equally terrified. This is the year we either continue to build on a run of success or fall backwards. We’ve got a big plateful of opportunity before us. Blogenberg fans will be the first to know what direction 2008 takes us.

Happy New Year!
