The Oldest US Vet in my Family

This is Adam Weinrich he is oldest know US Veteran in our family. He died in 1864 and is still laying not to far from where he died in Andersonville Prison during the senseless war of states. He lays in earth National Historic Site, Andersonville National Historic Site, 496 Cemetery Rd, Andersonville, Sumter, Georgia, 31711, USA

One of the stories is that our fore fathers on my Fathers dad's side bought his large family to Sheffiled Il to escape the last Danish Draft. From there every Jacobsen served in the Military and I figured I was going to right up until the moment I walked out of the recruitment station in Hyttsville, MD.

It seems the fleet officers was convinced that I wanted to be like Top Gun which had just come out and that I keep saying that I wear glasses and know I cannot fly so why would I take the aviation part of the OQT. Needless to say I couldn't convince him that I wanted to go into Navel Intel. Go figure.

So on this Veteran's day I salute all the members of the services and just want ya'll to know that I do have a career choice for you once you get out and it's called the Community Manager Project.

Thanks for your Service you now need us to help you and that is just what some of us are going to do.

Socialmedia experts, wait just another 4 years or 6,552 hours

I am invoking the 10 Year Rule on this whole Socialmedia  Expert thingy (webpreneurs too) United across all fields of study is the agreement that expertise is both explicit and implicit and the latter is well considered to take some time.  As it turns out according to William Chase and Herbert Simon it's 10 years. They made this statement after studying chess players. ( click here for reasonable explanation as to why chess masters) as subject matter for what it takes to be considered expert minds.  In his book OUTLIERS Malcom Gladwell broke it down to 10,000 hours which if you think about is about at 5.5 hours of it a day everyday. . Funny one of last nites Grammy nominated, presenters said that they were humble and willing to wait since 1 of the bands nominated for best new band had been around for 10 years.     So lets look at Socialmedia.  For most this has been around for a very short time in fact so short that in 2006 I put up ...
