We’re having a Scenius this Friday in Anaheim, a BloodhoundBlog Unchained event that we’re running, subversively, during the NAR Convention. We’ve done this before, but the NAR was a lot more powerful the last time. By now it just seems pathetic — but we don’t much care either way. We care a lot about the […]

I for one, am looking forward to getting together with Greg and Brian and the rest of the gang in Anaheim. It has been too long. But BHB wouldn’t be Unchained if I did not contribute some of the stuff I have been working on in the last couple of years since we got together. […]
Today, Redfin.com CEO Glenn Kelman warns us that we may be “outsourcing our brains” because MLS systems are so stupid: I worry about whether the fundamental choice we made five years ago was the right choice, that if we played by the rules and used MLS data that we would be able to build a […]
Brian Brady got us a room, may the gods whisper his name in awe. We’re working on sponsorship, and I’ll have speaker announcements in the coming days. Here’s the big picture: BloodhoundBlog Unchained in Anaheim Friday, November 11, 2011 12 Noon to 10 pm Cortona Inn & Suites Anaheim Resort 2029 South Harbor Boulevard Anaheim, […]
We’re back, after some travails. Yesterday, I showed with two different clients, wrote five contracts, opened one escrow and moved 39 domains. I finished the day in South Phoenix, just as the mother of all storms was rolling across the Valley of the (cloud enshrouded) Sun. Y’all think you have weather where you are, but […]
I’m sure you’ve noticed the pain we’ve been going through. I made a big mistake a couple of weeks ago, and, in the process of fixing that, I uncovered systemic problems in our current file server arrangement that are most easily addressed with a match. Which is to say, we’re going to burn this playhouse […]
Jeff Brown wants to know if real estate bar camps are a waste of his time. My view is that they probably are, at least in terms of making maximum productive use of time taken away from money-making work. Jeff is a chatty guy, so I expect he can have a good time with any […]
I wrote this in a comment a couple of weeks ago: Everything we’re doing on-line emerges from the points of this star: * engenu — rapid web site development * encartus — elaborate custom Google maps * Scenius — dynamic blogs-within-blogs * ScentTrail — CRMishness with transaction management * FlexMLS and the FlexMLS API — […]
So, the Arizona Republic ran an article yesterday on on-line real estate marketing and you will never in a million years guess who they did not call. I never get called for any of those kinds of things — the RaiseTheBarTab kinds of events — even though we’re doing cooler stuff than anyone I know […]
Information can be a glow in the darkness. Traditional higher education models are losing market share to cheaper education delivery systems. Young people now have the opportunity to learn the very same principles for free that are taught to the people they may eventually hire to run their businesses. I think this free market trend […]
Anyone who has read this satirical piece knows that my writing turned macabre this past year. One weekend, one book, one article, and one website dramatically changed the way I look at the world and it inhabitants. It has been painful to watch my political party regress from Bob Taft to Teddy Roosevelt in less […]
Cathleen bought her mother an iPhone just lately. Aloma Collins is 88, and her health is slowly failing. She’s in an awful spot, unable to do much and yet bored to tears. The iPhone has become a bright spot on her horizon. Cathy loaded it with some apps, and Aloma has since figured out how […]
I’ve heard from a number of people privately asking about the prospects for another BloodhoundBlog Unchained in Phoenix this May. So far I’ve not done anything about this — this for a couple of reasons. First, I don’t know what to do in terms of content. We’re doing a lot of interesting things, but I’m […]
REALTORS are great at sharing ideas. I really do like the idea of team spirit and sharing. I think that one can make a strong case for it in business among friends who trust and respect each other. It is what a scenius is all about. It is what we do at our brokerage with […]
Maybe a dozen posts are gone from BloodhoundBlog, along with around 400 comments, 300 of them about forced versus open registration. We lost a couple dozen engenu pages as well, along with the photos that make them up. I treated this as a simple hardware swap, but it turns out that our incremental back-ups were […]
