Introducing The Zehnkatzen Times

SOB Hall of Famer: The Zehnkatzen Times

by Samuel J. Klein

The Zehnkatzen Times is the record of the perambulations of Samuel John Klein, a designer and self-styled pundit based in Portland, Oregon. From this podium he finds and comments on interesting things in graphic design, logo design, web design, map design, life and times in Portland, and the occasional ironic or funny random observation and, every now and again, a somewhat-trenchant political observation. Feel free to stop by and celebrate the process.

Notes from Liz: Sam J. Klein is a graphic designer who has a way with words. As soon as you begin reading The Zehnkatzen Times, you start to get the feeling, “Hey, I think I know this guy.” He understands the writer’s magic of bringing a smile and his own viewpoint to a story. His content includes commentary on blooks, blogs and his ongoing projects some of which are

He’s into so many things and writes with such a light touch. I can’t help but wonder whether his last name isn’t really Clemens.

Thanks, Sam, for letting me introduce you to the readers of Successful Blog.

Introducing Manage to Change

by

SOB Hall of Famer: Manage to Change by Ann Michael

“Manage to Change” provides a forum to discuss how change impacts people and businesses. By sharing observations and asking questions, we try to develop strategies for anticipating change, viewing it positively, adapting, and even changing the rules of the game as often as possible.

To some degree the focus is on information management: What will happen in the world of content creation, marketing, distribution/delivery, and the
business models of media and publishing, as technology advances and consumer demands change?

Notes from Liz: Ann Michael thinks of change in context. Change to her is part of a process.Ann approaches her life and her work with determination, energy, and constant attention to what might move things forward in a positive, supportive fashion. Read her comments, on this blog or the many blogs that Ann visits, and you’ll know that Ann likes to laugh and likes to study business — how it works and how people think. She is an intringuing and powerful combination of likeability, laughter, and downright competence. Read her blog and you will see what I mean.
