I’ve mentioned before that I’m not the biggest baseball fan anymore. The 1994-1995 strike killed most of my enthusiasm for the game. While I’ll still go to a game from time to time, and I definitely enjoy a pick-up game with friends, I no longer read the daily paper, observing the status of my favorite […]
There is no denying the presence of facebook these days. It’s become a part of our daily life. Many get their breaking news from it, share birthday greetings via it, and engage with friends and colleagues through it. Quite simply, it is a medium we must use now to communicate with our memberships and our […]
Here is the second installment of Friday Finish, a new post for my blog highlighting my posts for the week and some other great blog entries by other authors. Videos will soon be returning to my site. I’ve been traveling a bunch over the past two weeks and I’ve found that the upload speeds for […]

So I’m in the middle of my spring speaking season, and I love it. The students are awesome and each conference or campus brings something different to the table. I really privileged in my line of work that most people share with me what they appreciated about my day at work. Students often share what […]

Remember two weeks ago? You were at school, or in your office, or checking your phone, and someone texted you or posted on your wall about this horrible YouTube video that you just had to see? The lyrics were awful, there was a strange rap sequence, and no one could figure out why it even […]
Don’t worry. I’ll keep out of a lot of the politics currently taking place over the complexity of the situation in Libya. I have my own personal viewpoints, but I won’t use today’s blog to post them.
