I just got back from a week-long vacation. I use the term “vacation” loosely because this one involved a 12-hour drive to western Kentucky (my roots!) and my 17-month-old son. You get the picture. If you’re like me, it’s hard to leave work behind on vacations. We read articles and hear about people who literally [...]
I was just looking over my local forecast and noticed something I’ve never noticed before: There’s never less than a 10% chance of precipitation. Clearly, there are days everyone knows it’s not gonna rain. But it appears it is against weatherman code to ever count it out. A few possible thoughts behind why this might [...]
In case you haven’t heard yet, Kathy Griffin recently won an Emmy for her show, My Life on the D List. And she said some things about Jesus in her acceptance speech. In case you missed it, here are some links to catch you up, and the original video. Then Christians got pissed about it [...]
Pioneer is just a fancy name for failure. Other synonyms are trailblazer, innovator, groundbreaker, leader. I know what you’re thinking: “Pioneers are celebrated. They are heroes.

Excellent way of looking at the “stick-to-it-tive-ness” needed to blog successfully. A Change In Perspective: Believe it or not, this joker actually flew up to Kansas City just for a BBQ dinner. And [...]
And here’s proof: The guy on the left is Aaron Loy, my college roommate, best man at my wedding and all that other stuff. He is, undoubtedly, an idiot. But an entertaining one, at least. Other good Aaron links: YouTube Two Rivers home page: The announcements don’t stop here. There are about 20 others on [...]
Interesting links from my browsing this weekend: Viruses in web ads? Say it ain’t so, Joe. Magnosticism points out that now you’ve got to think twice before you click on that sponsored banner on the side of your favorite website. What does this do for pay per click advertising (an already diminishing advertising tactic)? Life [...]
No other way to say this than this video is just cool. Great skills. Don’t know what it is, but something about it inspires me. Tip o’ the hat to Chris for leading the way – thanks. Post Footer automatically generated by Add Post Footer Plugin for wordpress.
We often hear business gurus singing the praises of receiving feedback. How it leads to the best ideas. How it fosters the most profitable customer relations.
