Are You a Bad Person?

David Smeigh emailed this link over to Debra and I—though Debra is quick to point out it was TO me and she was only CC’d—saying it reminded him of us.
I send 160 emails a day. Am I a bad person?
Of course reading this article forced me to go back and take a look at my [...]

Note to Self

“Accept that some days you are the pigeon, and some days you are the statue.”

The Future of Media?

The Future of Media?

One of the many daily feeds I read had an interested piece about an 8-minute video put together by the Museum of Media History.

No Wonder I’m an Idiot

Deb sent me this article; definitively proving why I am such an idiot. (Hint—it isn’t the pot part of this article.)

At least they’re done (thanks Deb!).

The upside is that Deb did NOT get sick in the [...]

On the Road Again

I thought I left the West Coast to work in New York City? So what’s up with my being on a plane headed for the Pacific timezone again? At least I’m going to Southern California for a little variety rather than heading right back where we started from.
All that to say the job is going [...]
