your best
Seth recently blogged about what gets done differently when the Pope is in town. The ship runs a bit tighter. The smiles stetch a bit wider. And so on.
Instead of saving your best for the occasion that just happens to happen to you, why not save your best for the occasion that’s begging for something […]
real people are saying
The Independent Bureau of Weblogs has rated this blog “insightful and obscure.”
The Online division of the Amateur Writer’s Association says, “ideas for conversations is smashing in it’s own sentimental way.”
J.D. Power & Associates says…
I’m still waiting for the day when we reference what real people say. Those people who we’re writing for (or doing whatever […]
to my sisters
I made a donation last night in your names to Room to Read. The money will go towards building a Reading Room in Cambodia. John Wood is an amazing man and I’d encourage anyone to read Leaving Microsoft to Change the World. You can purchase it here.
the definition of music
Over the weekend my friends and I were hanging out after not seeing each other for nearly a year since graduation. Some topics attracted some attention, others maybe a bit more.

Now we define […]
we are always at war
A conversation with a friend…

A fantastic idea with good intentions. Love the charity.

Today is Canada’s birthday. I’m not looking for fireworks - fireworks are […]
dispositions
I’m reading Malcolm Gladwell’s ‘Blink’ and its spawned a new series of self-assessments for me.
