red + white + geek all over
Wondering what that post with the Gonzo picture was all about? Liz Strauss did a “25 Words” project with a bunch of us SOBs, collected them all, and put them into a wonderful presentation. Enjoy!
Many thanks to Liz for putting this together and to all the contributors who made it so interesting!
It’s more complicated than we think.
It’s a lot simpler than we think.
We think ourselves in circles out loud, online — everybody thinks we’re crazy.

I know, some of you who know me in person are thinking “we knew that!” but I’m not talking about the context you’re probably thinking.
It is with great honor and humility that I announce www.thatdamnredhead.net has been officially anointed by THE Liz Strauss of Successful-Blog as a Successful and Outstanding Blog, which means I am among bloggers who, in Liz’s words,
“. . . take the conversation to their readers, contribute great ideas, challenge us, make us better, and make our businesses stronger.”
Obviously, the SOB program could not exist without readers who are brave enough to come out of Lurk Ness and comment, so I wanted to thank all my readers who have participated in a conversation here, with a big shout-out to the amazing community of wildlife enthusiasts from WildEarth.tv, whose support was overwhelming when I shone some light on what a true “social ecosystem” is all about.
If you’ve been reading this blog and haven’t commented yet, I invite you to de-lurk and say something sometime — it won’t hurt you and you may even find new friends. Also, I wanted to thank Liz publicly for letting me be among the “cool kids,” it’s a privilege to be among such great company.
More information about the SOB program and its origins can be found at Successful-Blog.

Last year we had over 5,000 attendees, and though official numbers have yet to be released, I’m sure we got a [...]
Do you remember when you were little, and the circus came to town? It was spectacular. The circus, for all its excitement — the animals, the trapeze artists, the clowns, the daredevil acts — came into town, did a few shows with some cool stunts, and then they left. That was it. You might be [...]
A couple weeks ago, I was having “one of those days” … you know, those days where nothing’s going right and you’re in a crummy mood and you can’t seem to shake it. Out of the blue, a friend of mine sent me a tweet that said something like, “Hey, @damnredhead, check it out: No [...]
(Part 2 of 2. For part 1, see the last post.) In my last post, I responded to a request by a reader who asked how a small business could be more like Walt Disney World, which was a comment on this post. As I was outlining, I realized that for length considerations I’d have [...]
