Can a man save his face, his ass, and his house at the same time? The moral and Big Board gods claim naught. But still, rooting through the year end financial rubble atop my desk—the economic equivalent of the Gaza Strip, I consider the question (pondering Realtor that I am). I tally my Christmas card […]

Here is both the best and the worst of BloodhoundBlog Unchained so far. It’s the best, or a piece of the best, because it covers a great deal of hard-nosed, hard-boiled, hard-headed nuts and bolts real estate sales technology in rapid-fire fashion. It’s the worst, or of a piece with the worst, because it’s me […]
Lender Bob says, “Hey, I’m a lender. I want to get Realtors to notice me. Hell, I want to get in front of them so often they can’t forget me. What can I do?” Realtor Beth chimes in with, “He’s got the right idea. I’m a Realtor. I’ve got a blog and all, but I […]
I wrote last week about the Scenius blogs we’ve been playing with. The concepts we’ve developed constitute a new style of blogging, a hybrid of the best features of link-blogging and RSS feeds with much better control and with none of the defects. A Scenius blog called “Switched-On Marketing” is riding in our sidebar, along […]
I have a running news search going for anything that has the words “Google” and “Real Estate” in it. More often than not, this search returns cookie cutter press releases designed to reassure agents who plunked down a credit card for a cookie-cutter Web site (“Real Estate Agent Ollie Tabooger Adds Custom IDX Tools to […]
I find it worth mentioning that the first Facebook event invitation I accepted and actually attended was a funeral. I responded ‘Will Attend’ via my iPhone before realizing that the fellow who had sadly passed on was not the person I originally thought he was. Same first name, similar last name, entirely different demons come […]
Every so often, Mona and I attend to a close friend’s First Grader while the single mother does her required corporate traveling gig for one of the remaining Fortunate 100 oligopolies. During these few time warped days each month I am thrust into grandfatherly duties which I find to be almost Dali-esque as I, at […]
I was pleasantly surprised to come home from the grocery store last night and see a package from T-Mobile w/ my new G1. My girlfriend wasn’t so pleasantly surprised b/c it meant that I would for the most part ignore her for the evening while playing with my new toy. Here are my first impressions: […]
Microsoft Office will be uninstalled on my PC on 10/23. If all goes as planned, Windows will be replaced by Ubuntu on 10/24. Sure, the Google phone isn’t as sexy as the Iphone. Open source isn’t supposed to be sexy. Just free and awesome.
I grab myself by the ear and drag my own sorry ass to the ‘place’ where I’m supposed to be writing something significant on a daily basis–a small, shady library room in the front of our 1890s Victorian house in Chicago. I look around and consider my resources: Mission style writing desk and leather straight […]
Chrome: Yawn. Firefox, OTOH, is coming along nicely. I now run it side-by-side with Safari on my Mac. Safari is still my fave, but I don’t rail at Firefox like I used to. The user interface of the iPhone is actually a hugely subversive paradigm shift in computer design: Tapping, multi-touch, micro- and macro-spatial awareness […]
The Pledge of Allegiance Alright now – simmer down – relax – this is not a political post. With the advent of a new school year here, I couldn’t help but be reminded of days gone by – in the classroom – Ms. Sukula, my second grade teacher – with Bewitched hair – stood proudly […]
I was installing a new Genie garage door opener one Friday evening on my very first house back in 1980-whatever. Basking in ‘pride of ownership’ and eager to…. Pause. Deep breath. Now, let’s be honest Mr Petro… (inner voice) Okay. Let me begin again: I was spending an entire weekend trying to replace an old […]
The other day I went through our cloud-centered email strategy: I have my mail set up like this: From my iMac in the office, certain categories of email — initial client contacts plus mail from anyone in my Address Book — are redirected to a unique iPhone-only gmail account. That way, I get echoes of […]
In the weeks before Unchained in Phoenix. I stopped reading my feed reader. I was wall-to-wall with Unchained work and wall-to-wall with money work and something had to give. I’ve read this and that since then, but I’m over 16,000 posts behind in my reading. Oh, well… When I knew for sure that we would […]
