Ignite Phoenix 7 wrapped up, and I’m in that lull where I’m excited by how well it went, and partially relieved to not have it looming for another few months.  This Ignite was by far bigger and more complicated than any we’ve tried before. It was the first time with a [...]

How about a game of Mental Thermonuclear War?

May 28, 2010

One of my gifts is the ability to completely and utterly think myself into a corner. I’m like the WOPR playing Tic-Tac-Toe with itself in the movie WarGames.
It creeps up on me most times. A big portion comes from over-commiting myself to projects (another gift of mine). A dash comes from trying to [...]

The power between the notes

February 5, 2010

I am not a person who has regrets, but one of the few things I wish I had done differently was learn to play a musical intrument as a child.  I could still do it, I know, but my life is so slammed with stuff going on I don’t know where I’d work it in. [...]

A Little Peace

December 25, 2009

Hoping that under all the holiday turbo-commerce and mandatory-cheer that you find a little more peace in your life.
Maybe it is a little more peace of mind, or peace in your family. Maybe it is a sense of peace in the future, or a few extra moments of peace in the morning before the world [...]

I’ve never been a big celebrator of the New Year – a reset of our planetary lap timer – as having any particular meaning.  I reset my life, goals, directions, and attitude whenever it seems time. But 2009 was a completely crazy year for me in nearly every possible sense.
I rode [...]

Back to Basics

November 15, 2009

After a most bizarre and educational few months, I’m clearing some time to get back to writing.  I’m working my way through my many blogs, starting with this one and Writing is Cake.  I just migrated this to a new host and cleaned up a lot of out of date plug ins. This post is [...]

Changes of Season

July 30, 2009

In the past year I’ve gone through more career and personal changes than I have in decades, driven largely by my renewed interest in writing, yet have been unable to find time to write about them. I suppose this could be ironic, but it’s just annoying.
The most significant of these recently is that I left [...]

Know me by my Moo

February 23, 2009

In my meandering exploration of this whole idea of personal branding, I decided it was past time to get some personal cards. “Business cards” doesn’t quite cover it, since I’m not exactly an “all business” kind of fellow. I was inspired (again) by Tomas Carrillo and his new Moo cards, but my creative talents are [...]

Trivial Super Powers: What would you choose?

November 19, 2008

On Twitter yesterday Ronji talked about a poll which asked which Super Power you would have. Most people at his work chose Invisibility, but I would personal take Flying. In fact, you would never get my butt back on the ground if I could fly. Easy choice.
So I wondered what Trivial Super Power you would [...]
