I receive tons of email and try to read and respond to everyone. I also receive tons of stuff which is simply being forwarded along that doesn’t require a response (typically humor). If someone sends a video for me to watch and it’s less than 2 minutes long, I’ll generally take a look. If it [...]
What’s a Website Worth?
Recently, I had to investigate the potential worth of a website. Bottom line; there’s a ton of factors and a website is really just worth what someone is willing to pay for it that entices someone else to want to sell it. That said, most are based on annual revenue with a variety of other [...]
I’m a Lucky Man
I’m very fortunate to have found such a wonderful partner in life and as of this Friday, Donna and I will be getting married. The road leading up to this got a little bumpy for awhile and the two of us even broke up last summer. As we each tried to move in other directions, [...]
Speed Enforced by Aircraft
I believe I saw my first “Speed Enforced by Aircraft” sign in the late 80′s when living in Washington, DC. I joked about it when I first saw it and always thought it was ridicules. It’s nice to see someone else pointing out the absurdity of it!
Severe Concussion
I haven’t really written anything lately as I had a bit of an accident in October where I took a rather harsh blow to the skull and nearly two months later, I’m still suffering the effects of a severe concussion. I’m seriously lucky to even be alive. I’ve been dealing with dizzy spells and some [...]
Cargo Shorts Banned by Homeland Security?
This sounds ridicules doesn’t it? And, I’ll probably be put on a no-fly list just for writing this article. In all seriousness, officials at Kansas City Airport tell me they are required to search anyone wearing cargo shorts. Seemed really strange since I flew out of Greenville wearing cargo shorts four days earlier and I [...]
Iowa Speedway – Build It and They Will Come
I attended my first NASCAR race over the weekend and between the cars and culture at the Iowa Speedway, there was a lot to take in. I was able to learn a lot about the process the teams go through, leading up to the race. Each car represents a ton of work on more levels [...]
I’m Not the Only One
I’ve never understood people who can seem justify ANYTHING with statements like: “I’m not the only one doing it.” “Everyone else is doing it.” “It’s always been done that way.” How do people rationalize and create some moral threshold based on behavior of others? Bad behavior is bad behavior, it doesn’t somehow get better just [...]
Going Green Bites!
A couple of weeks ago my washing machine stopped working (and it’s difficult to go very long without one). For awhile I pondered if I should try to fix it, have someone else try to fix it, or just buy another one as it is only three years old. In the meantime I had clothes [...]
