Just Ask Mat

The opinions expressed here are my own and even then I don't always agree with them.

Mat Maynor

Mat is a husband and father. He loves outdoor adventures including summiting several 14ers, running the Pikes Peak Ascent 3 times and riding his hard tail down Porcupine Rim at over 40mph. Not being afraid of the kitchen, he swears he's a pretty great cook too.

Mat has been successfully involved in leading marketing, strategy and business growth efforts in such diverse environments as start ups to Fortune 50 companies. He has been involved in online and social media since 1998, long before it was even called social media.

This is his personal blog and just like life it may include topics that range from Star Trek, Formula 1, movies, sports, business and his family. It will likely not include many references to politics and his relationship with God, both of which he is very passionate about, but you never know something may slip out (just a warning).

KCMO Gets Google Fiber Too!

It's no secret that Kansas City, MO has been kicked in the teeth for the last several years by our State line neighbors KCK, but things maybe a changin'. Google announced yesterday that KCMO will also get Google's ultra high speed Internet connectivity. This is a huge political win for KCMO. Great Job! Now let's just hope that I get it and if I do I'm kicking Time Warner to the curb so fast (1GB/sec to be exact) that their head will spin.

The" Great Recession" is Over?

The rocket scientists at the National Bureau of Economic Research just figured out that the "Great Recession" ended somewhere in the summer of 2009. Of course, they didn't even know there was a recession until sometime in early 2010. Good to know our economy and monetary policy are in the hands of such lightening fast reflexes.

On a lighter note for all my geeky friends. Here is a pretty funny video for those of us with an economic/political bent. Enjoy!
