I know my blogs have been pretty absent over the past week. Once again, I’m up in Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival. I’ll do a longer summary blog when the whole experience is over. Today, I’m took a lazy morning, not watching any films, and instead sleeping in, and doing some laundry.
Even [...]
If you’ve read the news today, you know that Netflix messed up. They are being largely ridiculed on a variety of social media platforms and even on their own blog. If you haven’t followed Netflix in the past few months, here is the basic breakdown. After years of having a simple streaming/DVD package, Netflix elected [...]
I just spent a wonderful weekend with several family members at Disneyland. My girlfriend was also able to take the train up from her new home in San Diego. It was nice to see her. For the next year or so, we’re doing a long-distance relationship until I can relocate out to San Diego and [...]
So I travel a lot. I think I’ve probably bored all of you with anecdotes about planes or rants about frequent flyer programs.
Still, travel is part of my life. A regular part.
Most of the time, I simply zone out in the airport…
…reading a book…
…playing on facebook…
…listening to a podcast…
…watching a dvd…
but every now and then, [...]
So the last episode of Oprah Winfrey’s popular talk show aired today. There are so many articles describing her effect on the television and cultural landscape. I’d encourage you to read some. She went against most of the conventional models of television at the time, and in the process, dramatically changed the way we look [...]
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 [...]
Yesterday I spoke in Michigan for the MASC/MAHS Center 9 Regionals. I had a blast with a great group of student leaders (and truly appreciated their assist in a Valentine’s Day message for my girlfriend).
I’ve become accustomed to the start of most leadership conferences. There tends to be some music, a welcome message from the [...]
I’ll admit it. This blog entry is going to have a lot of frequent flyer info in it. Trust me, there will be a point to it even if you aren’t on a plane that often. Just walk with me… or perhaps I should say “fly” with me…
I travel a lot. It’s the nature of [...]
The other day I’m going through my mail. It’s the standard:
bills, ASU Alumni magazine, coupons for the store…
…and a special mailing from Bath & Body Works talking about their new DARK KISS line to help me seduce “him?”
It’s addressed to me, Patrick Maurer.
First, I’m not a gay man. Still, I’m basically 100% positive that even [...]
So Brett Favre is not retired. Wow. Shocker.
I arrived in Minnesota just about the same time he did yesterday and my drive up to Duluth was dominated by “breaking news” sports stories consisting of location of his vehicle in relation to the practice facility. I can’t stand him anymore.
I know I have a few Vikings [...]
