Hi, everyone! While the content on this site isn't getting any fresher, it doesn't mean that I haven't been up to anything!

You can find my more recent work at https://caseypalmer.com, where my only mission at the moment is to keep making awesome stuff!

Yesterday, I found myself in a room with less than a dozen people - more than 90% of whom I'd never met before - and we were all there to discuss the topic du jour: one's Personal Brand.

In what would have otherwise ben a regular Monday night (Dashing off to Dodgeball, Drinking with the Dodgeball Team and Dodging Dodgeballs), Kevin saw fit to ( Read more... )

We worry too much.

Here in Toronto, worrying is the name of the game. We're either worrying about where we're going to get money to pay off our debts, or worrying about how we're going to save up enough money to buy stuff so we can worry about where to get the money to pay THOSE debts off.

We worry about or futures, we worry about what's already ( Read more... )

Wow. WOW. Has it been 100 posts already?! Insane! It's been a crazy few months so far for this year's blog - from its beginnings where I had no idea of what to do or what to write, it's definitely seen its highs and lows, but no matter what, the daily posts keep on coming!

To celebrate making it here, I've spent the past couple of weeks putting ( Read more... )

It is the humour of the sophisticated individual, the jokes that aren't immediately caught by the untrained ear, but have the potential to be hilarious when the connection is made.

But at the same time, it is a tool that must be used selectively, for its power can easily backfire upon you.

I've used sarcasm for as long as I can remember. Actually, it ( Read more... )

The connections we make in our lives are just as important as the lives we choose to lead. They feed us. They supplement the things we want to do with our time on this planet. But by their very nature, they are paradoxical, for if you seek out new connections with the intent of filling gaps and voids in existence, you run the risk of alienating ( Read more... )

Post-its are some of the best tools in my arsenal. I've seen them used to decorate the covers of folders to tell people what to do; they're used as reminders so that people don't forget important things that they need to do - me? I use them as a way to keep my life organized and as a strategic tool in the projects I work on.

How do I do it? It's ( Read more... )

I think I finally understand where the stereotype of the writer working away on a manuscript in a coffee shop comes from.

IT'S HARD TO WRITE AT HOME.

Bloggers with kids? I don't know how you do it.

Professional writers? I don't know how you do it.

Bloggers with kids who live in rural areas off of a dial-up connection and no coffee ( Read more... )

Sometimes you come across things in life that are so awesome that you can't help but share them. You're COMPELLED. They improve your life in ways you would have never imagined, and now, you'd never look back.
With this in mind, cue Instapaper.
I'd heard of Instapaper before - it's one of those things you see often enough in tech blogs, on Twitter, ( Read more... )

When one does nothing with their day, do they have nothing to write about?

Nothing... is a strong word. Today saw me:

• Scan documents in to clean up some space;
• Get a haircut after four months of growing it out - let us note that I did so because I just grew tired of the maintenance, not because anyone coerced me to - with a barber who was really old ( Read more... )
