Make Lemonade from the Lemons

February 4, 2010

I knew about this video a while back when it was in production. I had read about it somewhere in an RSS feed, or was it Twitter?, or Facebook?, or LinkedIn?… anyhow I did know that this video was being created. Day before yesterday Seth Godin brought it to back to my attention. I took [...]

Signpost in the road. Turning 40.

May 1, 2009

May first. May Day. Today is my birthday and you can tell by the sign above that it’s a round number of some notariety. It is an age that to some is a milestone, a turning-point, for others it is a sign of dread. As for me I am actually stepping back and not assigning [...]

Some thoughts on the first day of 2009

January 1, 2009

So much to say, so much to say…

December 29, 2008

Yes I have had so much to say these past few months. Really. Seriously.
I have had many good blog topics pop into my head. I have come across many good blog posts this year that have prodded me to respond either by replying after the post, or posting my own retort on this blog—alas, neither [...]
