Wait a moment – have emojis taken over actual language?
And now they have their own keyboard?!?!?!
OMG-WTF!
I thought I was cool enough because I knew some of the hot keys – but I guess not.
I may have to ditch my cool guy acronyms and get this keyboard.
I especially like they put the poop emoji front + center on the keyboard.

After a lukewarm week, what made me smile again? This.
Kaito and Whooba
Seeing my former flight team smiling on a great day in Ohio.
University MedEvac-2 (Medina)
Yes, I knew these two jokersters when they first started with the flight program.
Left to right: Kilo-Charlie (117KC) and Whiskey-Sierra (118WS) with Mike-Bravo (626MB) on the fins. If you know the meaning behind these tail numbers, you know what it means to me.
Yups, back in the original EC-135 and BK days.
Lead Pilot Campos, Base Supervisor Celebrezze, and Kaito
So glad to see they now are leading their respective teams as Lead Pilot and Base Supervisor. Ahhh, great memories. Outstanding flight crews. Transition approved!
Kaito….I mean @rusnivek
Stop saying favorite….say like!
In case you missed it, Twitter changed their “favorite” button to a “like” button.
Yep, it changed from a star to a heart.
Twitter has played off the move from “favorite” to “like” as a universal symbol. The hearts have also done well on Periscope, Twitter’s live broadcast social media app. Perhaps it’s their cross platform comfort by using the heart as their like too.
Although I am NOT much of a fan of the new change, it might make it easier for people to say the one-syllable “LIKE” vs that three-syllable “FAVORITE” – I guess.
#Twittr
In my life, I do appreciate Twitter saving me from saying two less syllables.
Either way, you should “LIKE” things on Twitter now.
Did some stuff to help the Sheriff’s Office prepare for a few upcoming events.
And yes, they are very well equipped.
Glad to help out our partners in public safety.
Because of an abrupt change in schedules, October fizzled out quick. But November should be nicer.
First week: I’ll be working with the team at Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office and County Exec on a few social media things.
Second week: Bunch of tactical stuff including more video fun. #PewPew
Third week: I have been reassigned to teach in Region-1 in New Hampshire. So for those that inquired, I will not be able to attend the 2015 EM Conference in Vegas. #boo
Fourth week: Heading to Chicago! And yes, I’m considering attempting to deep fry a turkey. I’m hoping NOT to burn the city down #DFT2015
Fifth week (sorta): Leading into December, I will most likely be assigned to FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness for additional training with External Affairs or the Recovery Directorate. Fun in Region-4 Alabama!
In my spare November time, I might be able to close a few national projects still on the table. Things should fall into place for December and January 2016.
Caution! Zombies in the area!
Looks like I’m in the right place.
Happy Halloween everyone.
Be vigilant and safe!
| 15-006: Spelling is algorithmically important for LinkedIn | |
| Agency: LinkedIn platform | Topic(s): LinkedIn, Spelling |
| Date: 10-30-15 | Platform: LinkedIn |
I have been asked to connect with many of you on LinkedIn. However, it is worth knowing that all Fortune 500 companies use LinkedIn as a recruiting and verification tool so subsequently spelling your actual job title correctly is a good start for the automated systems to match your account.
I get everyone is busy with lots to do. But glaring errors like this are avoidable and as a manager, drove me to reject applications citing inconsistencies in work, history, and documentation.
Look, I don’t have the best spelling either. In fact, I’d blame some of my spelling miscues to #DYAC – but LinkedIn is NOT the place where you are allowed to make these errors.
Just think how detrimental it would be to abbreviate the word Assistant (“Asst”) and forget the “t” – dangerous especially when the HR hiring algorithm forever excludes you from all remaining searches because of vulgarity.
Important four things:
1. Spelling your job title correctly is important.
2. Correct spelling will allow more matches when companies use job algorithms.
3. If you connect, the requesting connection’s spelling error will appear on your timeline to ALL your connections.
4. Spelling errors are a reflection of your professional work.
As a Friday afternoon activity – I’m going to check my LinkedIn account for spelling errors now.
A simple but important factor to remember when using LinkedIn – a professional social media platform for your career and growth.
Time is short, so post (and spell) good stuff!
