Just Random
Talked to a friend online this week from the airplane. In recent years, I’ve loved flying, primarily becuase it was literally the only place in the entire world that I did not have access to the internet at all times.

Delivering Happiness
One of the neat things about being in the ad. / branding / marketing / communcations / blogging world is that many times you are asked to try out different products, services, attend shows, events, etc. for research, product testing, citizen journalism, etc. Woot!

Process, Learning, Music + Me Playing!
When I first started taking private violin lessons way back when, my teacher, Mr. Nelson, had me read a book before I began: The Inner Game of Tennis. “WTF? I am here for violin lessons, not tennis tips” I thought to myself. However, I read the book and honestly, the ideas in the book have [...]
