Who cares?

Who cares? by Seth Godin (Seth's Blog)

Caring, it turns out, is a competitive advantage, and one that takes effort, not money. Like most things that are worth doing, it’s not easy at first and the one who cares isn’t going to get a standing ovation from those that are merely phoning it in. I think it’s this lack of early positive feedback that makes caring in service businesses so rare.

The weather this week was unusual. We had few days where it was cold and damp1 and some days when it was a bit warmer. This Thursday the sky was mostly sunny and the temparatures were in the 50s’. Some of my coworkers decided it was warm enough for a quick photo walk along the trail behind the mall near where we work. I always bring my Nikon D40 to work but decided that the only camera I needed was my iPhone 4.

There wasn’t much to see at first. Mostly brown patches of the winter beaten woods. We walked all the way down to the gezebo near the back end of the Panera2 where I found this little patch of color. I applied a new filter app3,Painteresque that I am addicted to.

  1. Most of my friends and family know that I’m not a big fan of winter ?

  2. We walked about half a mile so we stopped in and rewarded ourselves with coffee. ?

  3. I love Instagram for displaying these photos. ?

Following the trail

The weather this week was unusual. We had a few days where it was cold and damp1 and some days when it was a bit warmer. This Thursday the sky was mostly sunny and the temperatures were in the 50s'. Some of my coworkers decided it was warm enough for a quick photo walk along the trail behind the mall near where we work. I always bring my Nikon D40 to work but decided that the only camera I needed was my iPhone 4.

There wasn't much to see at first. Mostly brown patches of the winter-beaten woods. We walked all the way down to the gazebo near the back end of the Panera2 where I found this little patch of colour. I applied a new filter app3,Painteresque that I am addicted to.
