But this

You may have noted the story that Warren Jeffs, he of 40 wives and 70 children, has been corralled. I guess fatigue finally caught up to him. (Story.) But let me tell you, the polygamy isn’t anywhere near the best part of this wingnut’s tale. I was recently scouring the Web for some resources to use in a little project

Expressions of gratitude pour in from around the globe. Film at 11. (Story.)

Those who know me will attest to my taste for fine single malt and American microbrews. But my little secret is now out. I’m also a rum-lover. Always have been.

Been playing with this one for awhile, and finally got the page done today. So, thanks to YouTube, we now have access to all those great videos that the video channels won’t play (and in some cases, never played in the first place).

Some moments later, a WGC-Bridgestone tournament official was seen roaming around the roof looking for the

I’m sitting on a conference call, helping my corporate clients pull together an important sales training session for their upcoming global sales kickoff conference. All of a sudden, I find that I’m able to make a neat point about how an interactive exercise could be structured by referring to the performance dynamics of Restoration theater.

Start with boztopia‘s post here. _______________________ Long ago, in a galaxy far far away (well, it was in the US in 1922), Walter Lippmann published Public Opinion, a book that seems to grow more and more relevant with each passing day.

A few minutes ago, as I was out running errands, a radio news brief reported that the International Astronomical Union (IAU) has voted to downgrade Pluto from “planet” to “dwarf planet.”

A few weeks back, after an unpleasant exit from a job I have described as “the worst fit of my professional life,” I began to suspect that moving back to my hometown had maybe been a mistake. The edge is off the pain now, but I’ve continued to think about my relationship with the city I grew up in and

Well, well. Look who’s a year more mature. Happy birfday to sirpaulsbuddy…
