I got the funniest email from Gretchen McFarland one of our Summer School attendees.
Sooo… Please convey to your best buddy, Scott Bourne, that exactly 30 seconds after I posted his “Jump. and the net will appear” quote on my Facebook status ( to encourage a friend in need) – I fell and broke 5 bones [...]
I flew down to Sarasota yesterday, working hard to squeeze in a fast visit with my folks before Summer School. On the flight down I was repeatedly reminded why I hate flying in the summer – it’s tourist season! It’s that one time of year when everyone in the world becomes an expert in seat [...]
I get some very funny emails from friends on a pretty regular basis, this one from yesterday really hit home. The image is from 1956. Give up on what it is?
It’s a hard disk drive with 5MB of storage and it weighed over a ton! Now think about the 32 GB of storage in your iPhone! Kind [...]
Technology has changed everything in our lives and verbs like blog, tweet, follow and friend go in and out of our vocabulary all day long, but there are some new ones I think we need to add.

We’re all in the heat of trade show and convention season and it’s sort of a “which came first, the chicken or the egg” scenario. Is it prime time for conventions because it really is the slowest part of the season or has it become the slow time because everyone is off attending trade shows and [...]
It’s just a quickie for a Sunday morning. Sheila was on her cell phone this morning with her brother, Randy, when they lost the signal and the conversation ended. Like all of us used to being disconnected, she went to the window, looked for the 300 guys from the Verizon commercial ready to back her up [...]
Yesterday’s post has me focused on the more absurd things people have said to speakers at various programs. I always like to keep it light on Sunday mornings, so this one is priceless.
Dean Collins once had a troll yell out at a program, “Hey Dean, sure your pictures look great, you only take pictures of beautiful women! [...]
My post last week about technology has brought out my evil twin and I can’t seem to stop…I really do want somebody to figure out how we can roll back the clock once a year for a week. Here’s what I want:
I want a whole week where we turn back the clocks…that’s a statement in itself – I [...]
