After a fantastic pasta dinner, 2 ½ hearty glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon, I’ve developed a plan to save the likes of the LA Times, Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, and The Chicago Tribune. …or at least it will get a rise out of my fantastic friends in the journalism industry.The plan is two-fold but, sadly, simply enough to not require the famous graphs of Ross Perot (a forgotten name heard

Until experienced, one cannot fully appreciate the opportunities or challenges that come with living without pay. So what can you expect? At a 50,000 ft level, it’s a roller-coaster of a ride empowering you to learn about yourself and create new experiences. At a 50-foot level, I can nearly promise the following:An emotional thrill similar to teenage love:Remember your first real crush. The ‘

I met a very interesting woman in our neighborhood while walking at 6:00 the other morning. She runs marketing and communication Darden and and very active with some adoption agencies in town. She also had a dog, the only real reason people walk before the sun is up.When asked what breed, the response was, "a Double-poodle-golden-lab.""Excuse me, a what?""Shes was bred for a Golden-doodle and a

Between meeting unique and fascinating individuals, I spend lots of time with our 8 month old puppy. We hike, battle, hang out in the shade, and, her personal favorite, play disc.For some reason, she finds it easier to retrieve mid-combat roll. Have a watch.She does this every time. If you don't believe me, here is another throw?

It goes down as one of the shortest, most unproductive networking meetings ever. Thank goodness it wasn't over coffee as I would have had 2 sips and wasted $3.72.Somewhere between saying hello and starting my 2 sentence introduction of being new to town, I was interrupted."So what?" asked the long black-haired, middle-aged woman who, as I entered her cluttered office, remained behind her desk.

During the tightest economic time we (or our parents) have ever seen, my wife and I contemplated walking away from solid careers providing very comfortable salaries. I say contemplated, because 4-weeks from my d-day (decision day), work dried up thrusting me into what we call "The Grand Experiment."For some, our experiment is norm. Others can't contemplate it, calling us nuts. For us, it is

We are back for a variety of reasons, but namely, it's because of you. Each week you willingly make a small contribution to my current gig of: professional networking, pro bono project management, and volunteer work. Because of this, I feel I owe you updates as to exactly how your money is being spent, other than the occasional beer. As a reminder, it's called 'The Breakfast Bowl' because it's

It's amazing to believe 2007 has come and gone. Time is exponential like that - each year a little faster than the last. We will ring in the new year much like last years: some pizza, a beer or two, some champaign, possibly a board game, and, of course, an explosion of excitement at midnight.Many enjoy looking back on the last 12 months. And reflection is a good thing. Personally the past 12

This is absurd. Apparently, if you're Santa, and you're in Sydney, you're catch phrase is no longer, "Ho, Ho, Ho!" Instead, it is, "Ha, Ha, Ha!" New Zealand is considering asking their Santa to stop the 'Ho' as well.Apparently the 'Ho' is frightening to children and offensive to American women.As a result, Santa's may strike until they get their 'Ho' back. I kinda think they should. Though I'm

Winter Awareness DayNow this is insulting to anyone living, say, north of Florida - who is well aware that winter is on its way. Since when do we need a 'Winter Awareness Day?' Are there folks who are unaware it's coming? Does it just sneak up on us every year?I quote: "Preparing for winter weather should occur well before the cold and snow begin. Tips include understanding that a winter storm

As of late we have found ourselves looking for new carpet, which, incidentally, seems incredibly over-priced. Already I have had to learn way too much about it, and have decided there is way too large of a selection from which to

The shuttle landed the other day. I am blown away that this massive thing comes back from 200 miles away from the earth with no power, and lands on a 20,000 ft runway next to the ocean. Its glide to ratio is 1:1. For those that have forgotten, this means it drops 1 ft for every 1 ft that it moves forward. In other words, it drops like a rock.

The writers strike. The Writers Guild of America, they are picketing. What I understand that one issue is sharing of the revenue generated from DVD sales. What I have seen is that the late-night comedy shows have been the first to go to re-runs.Are you kidding me?

Now this is a curious news-feed. Essentially, Singapore Airlines is asking passengers not to have sex in the private cabins of their new Airbus A380, the monster jet. They say that the private cabins-suites are not sound-proof nor completely sealed...A couple questions come to mind:Why would you not make a private cabin sound-proof?

My guess is that if you are similar to me, some of these you have seen, some you have not, and some you have no idea what it is (even with the description).With the ever changing state of communication, my guess is that this list will continue to evolve and change.
