It’s a wrap on Rocky Horror

October 30, 2011

I am tired. Last night’s midnight performance was sold out, exhilarating and exhausting. Getting home at 3am, showering, removing the remains of Dr. Scott, and then getting up to do it all over again. Also some sadness as today’s 2pm show is the last in the run. I will not miss the hour and a [...]

October 20, 2011

Are you practicing the art of nonconformity or would you just like lessons in how to be a unique nonconformist? I’m different and so are you…already.

How does Google Think impact your intuition? You’re already asking what is googlethink? It is the process of not knowing and relying on google (or any search engine) to answer your questions and “fill in the blank.” But even when you search for answers how deeply do you read the pages and pages of results?

McDonalds vs Home Cooking

October 4, 2011

We’ve really enjoyed the company of my wife’s brother and his family and it made me consider the cost of food a bit. They are a fast food family, for sure, so it’s sort of the polar opposite of what we generally consume. (Well, to be honest, we try to avoid the fast food, deep [...]

The Road to Success

September 21, 2011

I was really pleased to see my youngest daughter’s post to my facebook page. She found an article about the nine things that successful people do differently.

Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Huffington Post and Google

September 16, 2011

Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Huffington Post and Google walk into a bar. The bartender says, what’ll you have? Facebook, YouTube, Linkedin and the Huffington Post all say “give me content” and Google says let me find something for you. So that’s not a good joke.

Previously known as…

September 14, 2011

Back in the day… I’ve already lost half of anyone who is here for the first time. Unless you are over the age of (insert appropriate number here) you don’t want to hear about what happened.
