Sorry, Carlo, you had this coming. Too bad it ended for Sonny on the Causeway. BTW, check out this Sonny tribute vid. See if you find it as funny/weird as I do!
One of my favorite musical groups has always been They Might be Giants. I started listening to them in 1990, five years into their career. I still listen to them to this day, 25 years into their career. I listen to them while driving in my 1996 Buick, which will be considered a classic in [...]
I finally got around to watching The Mack (1973) and think it is possibly the best film to come out of the blaxploitation era. It’s got a conscience that its contemporaries did not have that I think makes it a stand out. In fact, if you really look at it, especially by comparison, it hardly [...]
My oldest came home with a paper from school that talked a reading program that all students should participate in. The basis of the program is that each student needs to read a book with their parent and at the end of the session, the student needs to do a book report. Now, my daughter [...]
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down! Yyyyyeaaah! Git im a body bag!!
About 6 months ago my then 14 month old was starting to say words. “Dad”, “Mom”, “ball”, “dog” and “go” were part of his everyday communication in our house when, out of the blue, it all stopped. “Ball” became “uhhhh!”, as did every other word he knew. We were perplexed.

Is it being in an airport or hotel knowing no one and with a lot of time to kill? Is it, specifically in this instance as I pen this from a shabby food court, my elbow avoiding a semi-colon-shaped coffee stain left by someone else, a layover here in Cincinnati, looking out over my laptop [...]
What the community must now deal with is the fact Chelsea’s death could have been easily avoided had the judicial system worked to protect kids instead of child predators.

As the Director of Social Media at tax giant H&R Block, Scott Gulbransen recently returned to the tax business after previously spending 1o years at rival Intuit working on the TurboTax & Quicken brands. He brings 16 years as a marketing communications professional, and 11 tax seasons, with him to H&R Block and was responsible for the launch of many key social initiatives at Intuit before leaving in 2010. A strategic thinker and business problem solver, Gulbransen has worked for some of the world’s top brands including TurboTax, Sony Online Entertainment, and Applebee’s.
In 2010, Gulbransen became the first Director of Social Media & Digital Content for Applebee’s, creating the first-ever social media strategy for the world’s largest casual dining chain. While at Applebee’s, Gulbransen lead a small but nimble team responsible for creating a robust and far-reaching social engagement channel for Applebee’s and its franchise community.
In addition to his professional accomplishments at the corporate level, Gulbransen is also a prolific blogger recently named as one of the Top 50 Daddy Bloggers in the US by Cision. Gulbransen was ranked #21.
As a member of the TurboTax communications and social media team for 10 years, Scott helped the TurboTax team launch and sustain the brand’s social media platform. He also drove and was responsible for the launch of TurboTax’s successful content strategy, including the launch of the TurboTax Blog. Recently, he launched one of the most significant social media campaigns in the brand’s history with the @TeamTurboTax Twitter project.
Gulbransen was instrumental in reinvigorating the Quicken brand almost entirely through the use of social media and, particularly, Twitter. By engaging with customers and influencers who talk about personal finance on Twitter, he and his team helped Quicken Online grow from just 200,000 users in October 2008 to over 1.4 Million in just 10 months. This led to a more focused look at the personal finance space for Intuit and, ultimately, the acquisition of Mint.com.
A former print journalist, who, after realizing his paychecks from the newspaper industry weren’t going to get much bigger, turned to the Dark Side – public relations. After working in both college athletics and inside mid-size agencies, he joined Intuit in 2000 and Applebee’s in 2010. He is a graduate of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and is the married father of five kids.
Despite his busy personal and professional life, Scott is a digital native who never strays far from social networking. To hassle Scott, or to tell him how great you think he is (or not!), email him at scott@scottgulbransen.com, add him to your Circles on Google+, or ping him on Twitter at @sdgully. Scott also is an editor and writer for Technorati.com.
