  • Genius or idiocy?

    I am not sure on which end of the spectrum to place this ad I saw from Ford:   The ad shows a question from a fan of the new Explorer on facebook on an HTC phone on the Sprint network.  They then answer the question in the ad.  This makes me wonder a few…

  • 25%

    The year is already a quarter over. So, a quick update on my new years resolutions. Get back into the swing of things at the gym – C.  I started strong but when I threw out my back a few weeks ago, I have seriously trailed off.  Definitely need to do better.  I think I…

  • At least we have a place to stay

    A quick vacation planning update. We have now secured places to stay in all 4 cities we will be visiting. Thanks to FlipKey, Homeway and Susan(!) for the pointers. The renting a flat idea seems to be working out so far. Certainly something I will keep you updated on as we go through the trip…

  • Summer vacation planning update

    As I sit in the CVG airport waiting on a delayed flight to Orlando for a couple of days of business meetings, I thought I would post a quick update on the planning for our Summer vacation to Europe. A quick recap: after last year’s summer vacation to the Outer Banks, DeAnna and I realized…

  • Sacred work

    I ran across this video from one of the regional TEDx conferences.  I think this guy has it right on a lot of levels.

  • Separation of work and play

    After nearly two years of solid service my hacked, broken, old and generally worn out iPhone 2G finally gave up the ghost a few weeks ago.  It got stuck in this mode where it though the headphones were always plugged in and so it wouldn’t ring or let you talk/listen through the handset and when…
