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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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: Seth Godin at Gel 2006 from Gel Conference on Vimeo. The website mentioned in the talk has been changed to the Good Experience Blog. […]
I was upgraded to First Class on my flight home this past Saturday. It’s happening to me a bit more than normal due to a change in United Airlines policy which now automatically upgrades based on frequent flyer status if there are seats available.

After doing an early morning assembly for a senior class in Santa Ana yesterday, I had the rest of the day to myself. The weather was nice (I enjoy a cool wind when I can get it–especially when the temperature begins to rise in Arizona) and I figured I’d take a walk for lunch and […]
If you haven’t yet, you need to watch the new OK GO video for “This Too Shall Pass.” While there have been some comments on whether or not it is a true Rube Goldberg machine, there is no doubt that the video is incredibly interesting. When I finally got around to watching the video on […]
As I boarded my flight over to Orange County the other day, I stumbled upon this popular internet video. It’s sobering how its statistics illustrate our changing world. If you haven’t seen it yet, you need to watch it. There is no doubt that our world is changing. Our place in it is forever shifting. Which […]
Late last night I posted a link on my facebook fanpage to a new opportunity the Disney theme parks will provide in 2010. I first saw it as a status post from my childhood next door neighbor. Basically, if register with Disney and volunteer with a participating organization, Disney theme park will provide you a […]
“You can use this color.” She handed me the black crayon, and I proceeded to color the zebra. I was about halfway through a cool volunteer experience with Generation United at a nearby learning center for kids under six. I had already spent some time chatting with two boys on the swings, singing the alphabet […]
