Beam Me UP….UMMM…Droid? Part 2 of our 5 piece series on Geek Advancement
My 10 year old daughter asked me “Mom, what did phones look like when you were my age?” I proceeded to describe a rotary telephone that was mounted on the wall, but the more I spoke, the more confused my daughter looked.
“But even if you put your finger in the hole and pushed the wheel [...]
What to Do Next
Have I mentioned that I greatly admire Seth Godin? As such I read his blog and I am greatly inspired by him. If you haven’t read his blog, http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2011/10/what-to-do-next.html, I recommend that you do so, immediately. Here is one of my favorites, I couldn’t have said it better myself, so I didn’t.
“This is the most important decision in [...]
Up! Up! And Away
Apple released its top 10 list of iPhone and iPad apps this week and there’s no surprise that the Marvel Comics app holds the #1 spot. Apparently the world is still as enthralled today, as it was 50 years ago, by the concept of the superhero.
This free app features both free and paid comic books [...]
Just Call Me Chicken Little
I found out yesterday that I am in grave jeopardy at work. It involves whether I choose to stand or sit. However, apparently both are said to be hazardous to my health.
There are many work sectors in which standing is required. Just some of these jobs include: retail, manufacturing, health care, postal, and hospitality. Doctors [...]

Now days, cloud computing, an emerging field of computer science, makes Dad’s advice null and void. CDKWeb designs software for cloud computing, which made me curious to know just what this software [...]
Refreshing Your Creative Batteries
Recently the employees of CDKWeb have been under some pretty heavy deadlines. A couple of them couldn’t even be spared to go home. They worked until their eyes crossed and then they crawled off to the motel room the company rented for them about a block away. They averaged about five hours of sleep and [...]
Buyer’s Remorse
I hate making decisions. I had an epiphany today why. Because I suffer from a massive case of buyer’s remorse…which I can define as follows:
It’ll be on sale tomorrow for $30 cheaper. Or maybe just $3, but that’s still enough to stress me.
Did I make the RIGHT decision? Should I have chosen X versus Y [...]
Say Thank You. EVERY Day.
Today is November 11. 11/11. Easy to remember. Should be even harder to forget. Here, in America, we’ve made this Veteran’s Day. Which I believe is just another government holiday, only because it shouldn’t HAVE to be a holiday. We shouldn’t HAVE to “pause to remember” those brave souls who gave their lives so I [...]
