About
the mission:
Shake and gently are two words that don’t usually go together, since they are actually conflicting. I first read this odd combination of two apparently conflicting words at some time in the past, but who knows where or when. But that’s not the point.
You look up the two words on dictionary.com: shake and gently, and it makes you wonder, those two words don’t go together.
Well, that is what this blog is about. A variety of topics that make you wonder. If you read it, and don’t go away learning something new or thinking about a topic from a different perspective, then, well, I wasted your time and mine.
Creativity and technology are two powerful words that when mixed properly can create revolutionary results.
Creativity and technology are also two words that fit right in line with the author’s background in business, advertising, marketing and software development.
Words that when thrown together and shaken can give you good results. Shake too hard and things go awry. Don’t shake them at all and you are missing out on some good opportunities.
