Boulder Crest is effectively tackling one of the biggest problems facing our society: the veteran suicide epidemic and mental health crisis. I've seen Ken and Josh present their approach, and it's extremely powerful as well as educational. Highly recommended.

Re: Condé Nast Will Now Charge Its Freelancers Money If They Want to Get Paid in a Timely Manner - by Fashionista

That's not an "Update" - that's a correction. Come on Fashionista - admit that your clickbait headline was just wrong. You are wasting a lot of writers' time on facebook with this thing.

Re: Uber will power Bluesmart’s lost luggage recovery concierge

Good idea and good coverage here. However, regarding the point that
"This could help Uber acquire new users"
- somehow I don't think the Bluesmart promotion is going to cause a significant increase in the size of Uber's userbase...

Great article on this project by ElevenPine here: http://crazybroad.com/2014/...

Favorite line: "...an apparel endeavor that will save the eyes of children everywhere. Hey, their young eyes are level with the danger zone! Do it for the children!!!"

I think @pentametron has to be the gold standard. It goes beyond keywords and figures out which tweets happen to be (almost always inadvertently) in iambic pentameter.

Re: The Psychological Roots of Procrastination

joshmchugh — Sat, 15 Feb 2014 18:24:28 -0000

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that there are not two but three distinct articles (all trusty rants I employ regularly) huddled under the same headline here. 1. Why writers procrastinate; 2. English departments teach students how to be readers, not writers. 3. Trophy kids, aka the Whippersnapper Epidemic. 1 and 2 are loosely related, and 3 is tangentially related at best. Good points being made, though.

That final paragraph is pretty compressed. Can you unpack that, as the professors say?

Key point being missed: "home" is a verb as well as a noun.

Shameless clickbait headline. Solid message though.

Re: Stop Writing Your LinkedIn Profile in the 3rd Person!

joshmchugh — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 00:44:33 -0000

How about avoiding self-referential pronouns (and thus this problem) altogether? It's pretty clear that a bio, CV or résumé refers to the person whose name is at the top of the page.

Oh, and @DavidSmooke - is it even possible that you didn't include a link to your Linkedin profile in this article?

Re: Facebook may buy mapping site Waze as it seeks to know more about users

I thought Apple should have made this move. If they don't take a shot at it, seems like they're giving up in the map space.

Re: Making Connected a Successful Acquisition | Sachin Rekhi

joshmchugh — Mon, 06 May 2013 01:37:12 -0000

Way to go - I was concerned that Connected would meet the fate of so many products that are acquired and mothballed. This is a fantastic improvement to Linkedin's offerings, and may turn out to be the universal contact management service that Plaxo and so many others tried and failed to be.
