While what we wrote back in the day was certainly available for anyone to read, it wasn't primarily written to be read. It wasn't a business an online publication or an e-zine. It was simply an outlet. Anyone who's ever visited a therapist in their lives knows the value of keeping a bedside journal and the extended value of sharing it. Of course the whole exercise begins to get distorted when you become overly mindful of the audience. ]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2011/07/18/dragged-down-by-the-stone/feed/ 2 http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2010/01/24/you-me-the-wall/ http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2010/01/24/you-me-the-wall/#comments Sun, 24 Jan 2010 16:16:59 +0000 derrick http://www.kayakquixotica.com/?p=5590 Now I absolutely refuse to comment on this image or the guy in the red shirt. It's more than my life is worth!.. What I can say is that anyone involved in the Outdoor Recreation Industry or for that matter any businesses interested in how to make social media work for them, should know these folks. You can start by watching the “Boots on the Ground” is the first of a series of “unofficial” social media panel discussion here. Besides if you watch it, you won't have to listen to me tell you the same stuff. As they say it's easier to to bring the mountain to... or climb to.. or those who buy Mohammad a beer will certainly... Anyway, I forgot. ]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2010/01/24/you-me-the-wall/feed/ 2 http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2009/10/13/unification-theory/ http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2009/10/13/unification-theory/#comments Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:28:21 +0000 derrick http://www.kayakquixotica.com/?p=5343 When I started by business in 1996 I really had no idea what I was doing. I was just asked to build websites for a couple folks who heard I knew how. Well, sort of. I mean I bought a cheap Packard Bell computer at Wal-Mart because even though we were very poor then, I didn't want my kids to fall behind the future that I thought was coming. Of course what I ended up using that first computer for was drawing pictures, editing photographs and generally learning to make things. Along the way, I learned HTML, later Flash, and so on... Over a dozen years later I'm still just doing whatever I do. Only now am I really starting to see a theme.]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2009/10/13/unification-theory/feed/ 1
