I never used to be a believer in the adage that “Those who can, do, and those who can’t, teach.” I have officially Changed My Mind, and it’s all the so-called “experts” that led me to do so.

A post from the Raidious blog is currently featured on the front page of My Venture Pad. Matt’s post “Three Things I’ve Learned Working at a Startup” apparently warranted some attention.

I’m back in Indianapolis, working with a company that’s on the rise. We’ve been profiled in national publications, we’re working with national and international clients, and we’re hiring people.

My grandmother probably said it best: “If you keep mouthing off like that, a bigger boy’s going to pop you one.” Maybe I should’ve paid more heed to my grandmother; it sure seems JetBlue did.

Run, don’t walk, to your favorite local bookstore and pick up a copy of our good friend Doug Karr’s new book, “Corporate Blogging for Dummies.” Trust us, you need this book. And it’s not just because we at Raidious are in the book on pages 126 and 127 (not that we were looking or anything).

Sure, it’s possible to combine chat, document collaboration, email, and whatever else they crammed into that buckshot interface. But why?

We know he’ll be too humble to beat his own drum, so we’ll beat it for him. Our CEO and fearless leader Taulbee Jackson is featured in today’s Indianapolis Star, in the Rising Star column of the Business section.

Last week we had the opportunity to travel to Seattle, WA, to work on a video project for the Finish Line Youth Foundation. We visited Camp Eyabsut (“to rise above anything”), a week-long camp for burn victims between the ages of five and 17 sponsored by the Northwest Burn Foundation. We also spent a day at Neighborhood Bike Works before returning to Indianapolis to talk with folks at Windsor Village Park.

I’m actually really glad there are hackers out there. Hackers are innate tinkerers with an insatiable urge to go as far as they can.

Thanks for our friends at Partnership Community Bancshares for sending along a gift of homemade dried liver doggy treats.
