Sunday Smile
I just spent a great weekend in New York City with my girlfriend. The weather was perfect, changing leaves still clung to trees, and we had a really great time. In addition to seeing a Broadway show, doing some shopping, and eating at an amazing NYC restaurant (where my girlfriend’s brother happens to be the […]

Friday Finish 11.11.11
Yep, it’s the awesome date–I even wrote a blog about it this week (check it out if you missed it). I’m currently sitting in the Newark Airport awaiting a pretty awesome birthday weekend (if you include Monday) celebration in New York City.

Celebrate Nigel Tufnel Day
So my friend Derek posted this great link encouraging people to make 11/11/11 Nigel Tufnel Day. I recognize that many if not most my readers are unfamiliar with Tufnel as featured in the brilliant mockumentary, This is Spinal Tap. The film is awesome. Watch it. The famous scene: Nigel Tufnel: “The numbers all go to […]

Remembering the Beginning
I was killing time at the airport the other day, and I did something I haven’t really ever done. I went to the start of a text message conversation. Yep, I went back almost a year ago to the first few texts that my now girlfriend and I sent to each other. It’s funny to […]

Fall Flourish
My last few weeks of travel have been visually amazing. I’ve enjoyed the fall colors present in West Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington, Ohio, and Montana. As I flew out of Seattle today and saw the beautiful Pacific Northwest below me, I couldn’t help being amazed by the kaleidoscope of colors below. The reds. The yellows. […]

Toolbox (offline): Leadership Day T-Shirts
So today’s entry has nothing to do with technology, but rather just a really great way to enhance a club leadership day at your school. I had the great opportunity to present at Eisenhower High School in Shelby Township, Michigan earlier today. The school hosted a great event combining various leaders from choir, drama, athletics, […]

Siri’s Sass
So I got back to my hotel just before midnight last night and had to catch a 6am flight out of Montana this morning. I quickly powered up my new iPhone 4s and asked Siri, the mobile assistant, to set an early morning an alarm. Her reply: I’ve set an alarm for 4:15 am. Don’t […]
