That's not me. My hair is usually messier.

In the 8.5 months since I last posted to the Ego and the Ed, social media seems to have reached that tipping point where it’s simply no longer a fad or trend. It’s here to stay and will continue to make its mark in unexpected ways. I mean we saw Facebook’s founder named Person of the Year by TIME. A prestigious honor also held by Gandhi, FDR and Churchill amongst others. Like Hitler and Stalin.

But I digress. So, the start of a new year seems like a good time to jump back into this business of getting good information out to the people who want it. The feedback’s been great and I’m excited to get back in the mix. On some days it may be via Twitter (follow me!), and other days through this blog. And once a month, it’ll be through a monthly online show an old colleague and I have been doing as of late. In just 45 minutes, I think we do a pretty darn good job packing in lots of good information. Sure, the production values look rather DIY, but that’s only because it is DIY. We shoot it live, but it’s also available “on-demand” if you prefer. Anyways, watch a few episodes and decide for yourself: http://www.justin.tv/collegewise.  The next one is January 11th at 6pm PST and we’re going to focus on what high school underclassmen should be doing right now if they have their eye on going to college. If you do watch, come with questions because we’ll use the last 15 minutes to answer anything you throw our way!

Like I said, I’m excited to jump back into the mix. And as always, I appreciate your readership…let the good times roll!
