Get Curious

He was staring at me.
Okay, it was only for a minute or so, but I was surprised I kept his attention that long. After all, he wasn’t even one (or at least that is what my “baby-dar” was telling me) and this was a pretty exciting aircraft.
Some freak out when a baby sits next to [...]

“There’s a Hole in My Bucket…”

October 11, 2011 No comments yet

On my trip to Milwaukee this past Sunday, I became one of hundreds of passengers delayed in the Houston Airport. After another overly ambitious announcement from the airline about an earlier departure, it became evident the wait would be a longer. I headed to the men’s room nearest the gate to see this sign on [...]

Steve Jobs, iCON

“To infinity… and beyond!”- Buzz Lightyear
It seems to me to be the perfect quote to describe Steve Jobs. Without him, there would be no Buzz Lightyear. Without him, I wouldn’t be typing this blog up as easily on my MacBook Pro with iTunes playing in the background.
You may call it sentimental, but there is something [...]

Why didn’t I think of that?

Last night I made dinner for my girlfriend and me. It wasn’t a complex dinner (I’ve made those in the past). Nope, this was a quick trip to Trader Joe’s to pick up a few different items. Dinner was fairly healthy and it tasted good.
Still, I didn’t have to think much about it.
I picked up [...]

The Double Toilet

I had about an hour before my speech and thought it might be a good time to use the restroom. I went downstairs, past the men’s dressing room in the theatre, and entered the restroom. I took a quick peak into a stall, and was quite surprised by what a saw.
Two toilets.
One stall.
A Double Toilet.
I [...]

It’s May now and we’re in the middle of election season for many student organizations. Some have already completed them. Some are just beginning.
A common refrain I hear this time of year is the “outsider” who one and “wasn’t part of the group” last year. Often times that outsider was an upset over a student [...]

fresh & easy

December 15, 2010 No comments yet

There is a grocery store near my house called fresh & easy. It’s a new chain, based primarily in Southern California. The store seems to be modeled a bit more after grocery stores in the UK. The store isn’t terribly large. The selection is somewhat limited. The packaging for freshly prepared foods is pretty universal.
But [...]

Atomic Tom

Late last night I received a text from my older brother to check out this band called Atomic Tom. He also let me know he posted their recent video on his facebook profile. The video consists of the band sitting on a NYC subway and playing their entire song on iPhone apps. You can watch [...]

Stewards

I spent this past weekend up in Payson, Arizona the current students of the ASU Leadership Scholarship Program. It was a great experience (I should even have another video entry up soon that I shot while I was up in N. AZ). As an alum of the program, I’m always excited to see the current [...]

This Is Broken (from Seth Godin)

Today, I finally got around to watching Seth Godin’s 2006 talk at the TED Gel Conference. It’s a really great presentation highlighting seven reasons why things are “broken.” Check it out:

The website mentioned in the talk has been changed to the Good Experience Blog. I [...]
