At some point or another you begin to say to yourself, “My blogroll is growing larger and larger….what do I do?” Maybe you don’t ask that question, but I sure do. I have been blogging for almost four years and over that time you read a lot of blogs and make a lot of friends. [...]

If you are like me you have several Moleskines “in play” at one time, and I’ve had a hard time figuring out the best way to use them. Meaning, I am always writing stuff in them, but haven’t quite figured out a good organizational system to retrieve the information, etc. Joe Thorn has a great [...]

I could probably post a few more reasons, but as I mentioned before, I tend not to post much on politics. So this is reason #3, and the final posting in this series (you can read the other two reasons below). Reason #3: Hope This is the one word that I hear more often than [...]

You can read my previous post and reason #1 (openness) below. Just a reminder. These are non-political observations that I’m making, based on my experience in working with the typical young adults demographic and under (35 and younger). So if you want to read all my caveats about me not typicall writing on politics, or [...]

First of all, let me say that I never write on politics. I just never have. The topic is obviously very important and interesting, but it just doesn’t interest me and fire me up like some of my friends and family. Second, I don’t consider myself an expert on politics. I watch the news, read [...]
