Anything more than 140 characters these days seems to compete with everything else going on.  For this reason, we have a new approach.  We’ll continue to share selective specifics on projects and other happenings under the hood at BSM, but in the spirit of the micro – blog we present 10 recent highlights of potential interest. Since we last met, in chrono order…

1. Clothes to Kids of Denver: BSM will be providing pro bono  social media consulting and supporting services for our friends at CTK of Denver.  A fairly new entity, they’re doing great things in the Denver community.  Check them out at www.clothestokidsdenver.org. This may be the inspiration to clean out your closet or storage area and donate some “gently used” clothing to a good cause. Stop kidding yourself, those jeans will never fit you again.
2. The Thriller’s Gone: perhaps you’ve heard, but since our last update we lost the king of pop.  While the passing of MJ and the details surrounding his lifestyle are more sad with each report that surfaces, is this really all that shocking given what we’ve come to learn about his world? Nonetheless, the world was moved by this man and we take a moment of silence and throw down this tribute to an incredible talent, like him or not.
3. MHS Conference 2009: BSM recently completed the annual round of enhancements and redeployed this year’s conference registration system for McKesson Health Solutions. Registration is now underway.
4. RIP, Charlie’s Finest Angel: while the media moon walked right past this story on the same day Jacko died, we want to note that young men who grew up in the 70′s will never be the same. I’m fairly certain I still have my red swimsuit poster tucked away somewhere in storage.  Need to find that, but if not, it’s selling like crazy in re-print now.
5. Mobile Envy: Erin got an iPhone but I only upgraded my Blackberry. At least I have a camera now…
6. Speaking of Cameras: BSM is pleased to reunite with PENTAX Imaging for a multi-part packaging design project for 3 new Gameseeker scope products. First layout shipped to printer this week in fact, and two more kick off next week.
7. Home Field Advantage: once again, the AL defeated the NL in the 2009 MLB All-Star Game. The Cleveland Indians continue to break my heart. Sigh…
8. Where IT’s At: BrainSpark has partnered with IT experts, Syn Ack Fin, to provide network upgrades and ongoing support services for BSM HQ.  These cats know their stuff and help us sleep better at night.
9. World Sign Associates: BSM is pleased to kick off a new project for WSA, to design and construct a micro-site for sales promotion focused on membership benefits. Coming soon to a browser near you.
10. And That’s The Way It Is: Sadly, these things do seem to happen in 3′s. Just today we learned that news legend Walter Cronkite passed away at the age of 93. At least we still have Katie Couric.

In retrospect, the new approach did not make this easier afterall. Until next time, good to catch up.
