  • Whirlwind travel

    I’m going out on the road for pretty much the next 2 weeks straight. I leave Sunday for 5 days in Orlando for 2 days of internal meetings and then a few days of Eloqua training (one of the trainers, not the trainee this time). I get back late Thursday and then head out again…

  • The herd is complete

    We welcomed the 4th and final horse to the farm on Monday. I only say final because we have 4 stalls and no real room to build any more. Plus we only have enough pasture to manage 4 if we get a drought again, so this should be it…until one kicks the bucket. The new…

  • Is this an example of Amazon's 'optimized supply chain'

    Don’t get me wrong: I love Amazon. I recently signed up for Amazon Prime and have been using the heck out of it. However one of my recent purchases is leaving me a little bit puzzled as to how they decide to ship things: I live about 15 miles from Hebron, KY which is where…

  • Starting out on a new path

    I’ve been working on this in the background for a while, but today I can finally talk about it here: starting October 1st, I am starting on a new leg of my career journey. No I’m not leaving Siemens PLM Software; quite the contrary in fact. I am really excited about my new role, but…

  • Everything I need to know about business I learned on the farm – lesson #1

    I took a week off from (paying) work last week and spent the time at home catching up on various projects that had accumulated on my to do list. I built a wood shed. I cleaned up the tool shed by the barn and built a bin to hold shavings for the horse stalls. I…

  • Going for another run

    Just registered for the 4 bridges 4 kids 10 mile race Have a little less than a month to get ready, but its 3 miles shorter than the flying pig half marathon and I’m in a lot better shape than I was when I started trying to get ready for that. My target time is…

  • Summer’s over

    .!. It seems that it was just a few weeks ago that the kids just got out of school and they are heading back tomorrow. They start 2nd and 4th grade and are both moderately excited. There’s no telling what this year will hold, but there will surely be more stories about cloning and Indian…

  • Quick test post from iphone wordpress app

    Just a quick test post from the wordpress iPhone app. Certainly easier than using the web interface on mobile safari. Should definitely add ability to mod comments. Overall two thumbs up.

  • What did I ever do to the critters of Crittenden?

    .!. In the last few weeks, I have been under attack.  First a few weeks ago a racoon decided to take up residence in the hay loft in my barn as was chronicled in a previous post.  I found out about the second attack yesterday.  It all started when we were driving back from vacation…
