One of my New Year’s resolutions (yeah, I know it’s June) is to use Evernote<\/a> more. It’s a fantastic note-taking tool. It has text recognition, so you can take photos of documents and then find text within them. There have to be 101 uses for Evernote that I haven’t discovered yet. They made a great move yesterday, when they brought one of my favorite authors, Tim Ferriss, on as an advisor. Tim is the author of The Four-Hour Work Week,<\/em> and in this interview<\/a> he discusses some of the ways he uses Evernote to save time.<\/p>\n

South of Beale<\/a> normally opens at 4 PM, but they’ve announced that next Saturday, June 12, they’ll be open at noon for the US vs. England soccer match.<\/p>\n

If you’re a summer intern, or if you have summer interns, check out this excellent Leadership Academy program<\/a>. It helps interns in town for the summer get connected in the community, and to develop friendships while experiencing all the great things Memphis has to offer. This is a program that really works – back when I was active at MPACT Memphis<\/a>, they did something similar and saw an increase in the number of interns who returned to Memphis to take full-time permanent positions after graduation.<\/p>\n

I’ve been asked to ask a favor of my blog readers. Go to the Flying Saucer, and order Spaten products (Spaten Lager, Oktoberfest, or Franziskaner) from Whitney, pictured below.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

There’s currently a contest going on where the Saucer employee who sells the most Spaten products gets a prize. Whitney, by the way, didn’t ask me to make this announcement – people who want to see her win did. And it’s an opportunity to throw a tube top pic on the blog, so, win\/win.<\/p>\n

For ideas for stuff to do this weekend, check out Kerry’s post on her I Love Memphis blog<\/a>. It’s a good resource to check every Friday as you plan your weekend.<\/p>\n

Time for lunch… thinking Arby’s today.\u00a0 No big plans for tonight, but I’ll be at the Saucer for happy hour and see where the evening takes me after that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
