Originally written and whistled by the late great Earle Hagen, the name of this tune is actually “The Fishin’ Hole” and there are lyrics to it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earle_Hagen
Thank you Earle for your immortal gifts to the world of music and entertainment!
The harmonies are also whistled by me (big surprise), added afterward.
I hope you enjoy!

I had not thought about this song in a decade, but then I started thinking about Livin’ La Vida Local, as in Mobile Social Networking. You know, Location, Venue, and Neighborhood. After all, we need to have our own Place Page!
The Sacramento Pimento Limerick is a Tiny Tale Told Twice, and now is posted twice with the above alternate take featuring some zooming! Previously I posted A Funny Experience with a hiring process and realized I should be building my own business instead. Now it’s happened again. The “money” quote — “It is unbelievable how much of a grasp you have on what we are trying to do. I’m wondering to myself why you would want to take an entry-level assistant job…” I’m grateful that the physical universe is optimized for slow learners!
For me hacking mobile social networking is creating Vignettes. From Wikipedia — “The term vignette generally means something small. Originally it meant “something that may be written on a vine-leaf.” I call it the Kudzu Strategy. Enjoy the Sacramento Pimento Limerick!
Over the past week I’ve been creating and revising sites in my online Mobile Social Networking infrastructure. Right now it looks like this:
Google Profile
Google Local Listings — Bill Olen — Angry Bud — Design Ninjas — microCHUNK.TV
I went down to Palo Alto a couple days ago to do a job interview for a Social Media, SEO, and IT Specialist position at a home care assistance company. The phone interview had gone well, but only dealt with generalities. I met with the CEO, Director of Operations, and Online Marketing Manager, who seemed nice enough and knowledgeable in their particular areas. Although they had success using Google AdWords, when I started talking about Social Media and SEO, they looked like not only was I talking a foreign language, but also they didn’t realize I was talking a language at all. Apparently they thought you could do Social Media and SEO without having an online presence, engaging in conversation, producing content, and asking people to take action. On the long drive home I realized I should be building my own business instead.
Today I reviewed my last six years of blog posts and videos. I was amazed at the volume of Attention, Intention, Emotion, and Effort in the posts. It was painful to go over them in compressed time, but I did rekindle my purpose to pursue the Big Ideas I’ve been exploring. So I want you to look forward to a new series of posts on Mobile Social Networking, and to not just plans for the future, but soon to take place Events.
I’ve been thinking about The Maltese Falcon and Brigid O’Shaughnessy for a couple of weeks now, and it all seems to come down to this moment of power. I love it!
