  • No post today…working on another site

    I had a post almost ready to go today here, but got sidetracked getting another site I am working on for a friend up and running.  Check it out if you get a chance: POST.

  • Quick tip

    Just a quick tip: wherever you can and where ever you can find them, ALWAYS get your haircut at a barber shop where most of the people are their just to hang out, not get haircuts.  And if you can find one that is cash only, so much the better.

  • A lone voice

    I stumbled across this article on an movie thin Wired from my Facebook feed (side note: I keep toying with deleting my Facebook account and then it helps me find really good content like this).  It’s an interview with a few of the folks that are working on a new Spike Jonze movie about a…

  • The Tower of Babel

    After a restful, productive break, I hit the ground running on my first week back at work: I went straight into a 3 day, 20 person workshop. Overall it was a pretty good use of time and even better I didn’t have to travel to attend it (although sometimes travelling for things that are going…

  • Book list for my daughter – round 2

    I posted a few weeks ago an initial draft of a ten book reading list that I am going to ask my 14 year old daughter to read through before she turns 16 / gets a car. The goal is to add a few ideas to her mental tool box, specifically things she is not…

  • You don't always get what you pay for

    Warning: this is probably going to be a screed. I may misstate some facts. I may not tell the whole story. I may forget some things I should mention. But I a stuck in Vegas and its either blog or punch someone. The last thing I want to do is spend a night in a…
