I started thinking about some year end posts I could write to neatly wrap up 2011. I figured I’d write my favorites posts of the year version. Then I started thinking about real analytics or metrics.

For the past 5 years or so, I’ve made Trifle every Christmas. It’s a recipe I nicked out of a Harrod’s Cookbook I own. I actually now have the recipe memorized. Here’s the one I made last year in Vegas for the Fam. It’s always a big hit. So I thought I’d share the recipe.Read More

Over the holiday break, I’ll be putting the finishing touches on a 2012 Digital Strategy for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which will reference everything from content to email to social media to SMS to photography to sweepstakes to gaming to mobile, and so on.

I submitted my best shot of 2011 to Flickr’s “Your Best Shot 2011” this evening. With big thanks to you, of course. A couple of weeks ago I included 10 of my favorite 2011 photographs and asked for your feedback. I got some blog comments, some emails and some recommendations in person. So thank you...Read More
