Don’t worry. I’ll keep out of a lot of the politics currently taking place over the complexity of the situation in Libya. I have my own personal viewpoints, but I won’t use today’s blog to post them. Rather, I wanted to address an interesting point made in the March 29th episode of The Daily Show. […]
I spent some time today reading some articles on Mashable and stumbled upon a great video montage of the 25 years of Pixar. You can watch the full video here. I’m a huge fan of the company and watching the video only heightened my admiration of them. Their films consistently reinforce positive ideals and tap […]
I’ve mentioned before that although I’m a HUGE Apple user, I’m a big, big, big fan of what Bill Gates has done since he left Microsoft. His TEDTalks are some of my favorite. Here is a recent presentation he did. It’s sobering, but I think if we begin to have real discussions and not just […]

If you keep your Playdoh locked in a container, it does nothing. If you utilize your Playdoh and collaborate and practice, you can […]
So I’m a big fan of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I catch it when I can while traveling and try to make a point to DVR a few episodes if I’m home for a few days. While I definitely enjoy the satire present in the first half of the show, my favorite part […]
