We all tend to avoid doing things because they seem too hard or too scary or too big.  In order to get anywhere, you need to lean into the fear and just start doing.  Toddlers learn to walk by first falling, they catch themselves falling and find they move forward.  Before you know it they……

There are probably a few poor lost souls out there who have never heard of xkcd, so I am reposting a link to the most recent blag here as I found it simply awesome and wanted to share.  XKCD is full of humour and interesting useful things including one of my favourites, the “What If?”……

OMG. I finished reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline about one o’clock this morning and I would have blogged about it immediately if I was not seriously in need of sleep.  I just could not put it down.  I am already considering reading it again sometime this week. This is the best cyberpunk novel……

    Musicians get it.         Creative writers understand it.                      Marketing folks thrive on it.     White space is a concept known in many fields for a number of reasons, but the underlying theme is always to give a mental pause. ……

I recently read “My Life as an experiment” by A.J. Jacobs and I have to say I loved it and highly recommend it to anyone interested in improving the quality of their life.  Actually, I think I would recommend this to anyone capable of reading.  This was one of the most insightful and humorous books……

Congratulations MUST go out to the amazing team at SpaceX today. I have been waiting a very long time to see the day when private citizens had the power to step into space. Today is a monumental day in the history if space exploration. The SpaceX Corporation successfully completed the first commercial service trip to……

Too often companies make the mistake of believing that customer service is the job of the Sales department or Marketing team, but that could not be farther from the truth. In reality, sincere customer……

Fellow blogger Chris Shifflet recently blogged Ideas of March as a call to revive the art of blogging, and I think for good reason. The immense success of Twitter combined with a 140 character limit has created a situation where more people are communicating than ever before, but they are doing it in short, disjointed……

I was out for dinner the other night with my friend and his family. He mentioned a new movie that was coming out and said that his daughter, who was also sitting at the table, had already seen the trailer for it although the trailer had not yet been released to TV. He followed up……

As 2011 comes to an end, I have reflected on many of the blogs, rants, opinions, and post-comments I have thrown out to the Internet this past year. There is, as expected, a common theme and it really does come down to “Save the [Jimmy] Wales!” For those who don’t recognize the name, Jimmy Wales……

A time for most Christians around the world to celebrate the life that was given to Jesus Christ 20 centuries ago. A time for people to gather with friends and family, to remember what is really important in life. Jesus Christ walked this earth for 33 years and spent much of that time teaching. His……

Today’s blog is a follow up to email 110 – DNS – the Domain Name System DNS (again)Here I go harping on that DNS thing again. I can’t express enough how important DNS to the high volume sender. While just understanding how it works is enough for anyone who sends and receives a few emails……
