When we stayed at one of the Disney hotels last weekend, I had no doubt that the housekeeping staff did a good enough job. The bathroom was cleaner than most hotel bathrooms. Still, I took precautions and removed the bedspread from the bed before we slept. We covered ourselves with the hotel sheets and a […]

One of my very best friends from back in high school, Christine, was always one of my more artistic friends. I only knew then that she was talented with drawing, painting and sculpture. Actually, it turns out that is all she knew about herself back then as well. Once she went to college and started […]

I have to admit that I was skeptical as to how long Apple’s iPhone would remain a hot item after the initial product launch. The frenzy we all saw on the day the phones went on sale was so insane that I was sure the enthusiasm would just naturally implode. It seems like that sort […]

When I lived in the DC suburbs, Manassas, Virginia was sort of viewed as the backwoods part of Northern Virginia. We went there for El Taco and sometimes to buy fresh bratwurst at this awesome German met market that is now a Mexican market.

I have a good friend who just bought into a travel business. I’m not a salesperson by nature, but she could sell ice cubes to an Eskimo, so this is absolutely the career for her. Apparently, once you buy into the company, you need to sell the services to another 4 or 6 people in […]

The entire state of Florida is engulfed in darkness as I write this. Well, not the entire state. If it were, I would not be blogging. I actually have power in my house, which is a downright miracle in light of the fact that the nuclear power stations going offline near Miami have now impacted […]

One thing I love about technology, and the internet in particular, is the trend toward collaborative work. As an educator, I fully understand the power of collaboration. Actually, before I was certified to teach and was only working as a graphic designer, I loved working on collaborative pieces, because I felt like creativity had a […]

Are you a Starbucks addict? I love coffee, but I have to admit that I’m not chiefly partial about having to buy my cup at one place or another. I have found that the 7-11 down the street from my place has uncommonly good coffee if I go in there when a particular clerk is […]

We are in an era where education is no longer something that has to be constrained to a classroom. In fact, you can broaden the reach of your classroom to include remote locations and without ever leaving your desk. You can have guest speakers that don’t actually have to travel to get to you.
