Looking Like an Usher

September 6th, 2007

ushermatt.jpgNot the singer, not the guy at the theater with a flashlight, not the fellow who tries to squeeze “just two more” in an already packed pew.

I was a professional usher for the Lake County Captains in 2003. My brush with greatness was asking Fausto Carmona to please move the case to the video camera out of the aisle. Safety first, people!

More Pictures Coming

My big brother recently emailed a few pictures of me in my role as a minor league usher. I’ll post soon.

Race For The Cure

August 24th, 2007

I am participating in the Race for the Cure in Cleveland. This year the 5k race (I’ll walk) will occur September 15. Please pledge your support for breast cancer education and research at my race page.

Thank you!

The MatthewK.com Brand

August 20th, 2007

Much of my daily work life is concerned with developing, promoting and protecting my clients’ brand. I’m not the only marketing type to recognize that individuals have a brand and the associated brand promise, as well. The most obvious individuals are running for office.

I’m not running for office. I joked in an earlier post that I was going to change the MatthewK.com website to align with my brand. So, I have a favor to ask. Please drop a comment with your impression of this website.

Why do you think it exists? Why do you visit? What would cause you to never come back?

I can take it. Remember, Matt Keough is not synonymous with MatthewK.com. Really.

The New Look

August 9th, 2007

When I started this blog, I stated that I was doing it to play around with WordPress. I’m continuing to do this. Most of the things are “back end” administration type things. But this week I started to get more embarrassed by the default theme. So I messed around with the header. That goes a long way, getting rid of that slightly gradient blue blob up top. More changes soon.

Best day ever

August 3rd, 2007

Today the whole family spent the whole day together. Swimming lessons were followed by a trip to play in the air-conditioned mall. Lunch at the food court was followed by a trip to the circus and french fries Friday. All the boys went to bed easily and the Tribe has the lead. AND we saw Grandma on her birthday!

Pay no attention to the header

August 3rd, 2007

I’m just playing around. I realize there is a faint trace of blue border…and I really don’t think it is all that attractive. I downloaded the GIMP image editing software and played for a couple of minutes. Tomorrow I’ll put together a header that is consistent with the MatthewK.com brand.

By the way. I HAVE been musing online since about 1997. Starting on Tripod then moving the MatthewK.com in 1999.

I just upgraded WordPress

So if things are pretty FUBAR here….shoot me an email. Thanks

*tap* *tap* Is this thing on?

July 13th, 2007

Ok, I confess. I have been a slacker in posting here. I think I warned that I might be. Especially since my employer now requires me to blog weekly on our corporate blog. For some reason, I tend take that commitment more seriously than this space.

You are thinking “Waaah! One post a week!” ! know. But gosh. Sometimes I just can’t think of anything to post. I mean. I posted some pretty embarrassing pictures and you hardly piled on the mockery!
