No Change Required—Tweaking Experiences

11.28.2007

My new favorite thing is Candy Cane Hershey Kisses. Normally, I’m a lover of extra-dark chocolate. White seems wimpy in comparison. However, I’m addicted to the Candy Cane kisses because they combine the white chocolate with a hint of mint and bits of candy cane. These kisses make an excellent example for what you can [...]

Don't Post While Driving

11.26.2007

Sigh. I love new technology, but… Today I tried to do another Utterz, and while attempting to avoid a collision with an individual pulling out in front of me, I hung up. However, my Utterz was incomplete, and I didn’t hit the (3) button, so I figured my Utterz was either lost or hanging out [...]

Exploiting the Law

11.23.2007

Few things irritate me more than people who exploit obscure laws for personal gain at the expense of someone else. Via BoingBoing, I learned of a couple in Boulder, Colorado, a judge and an attorney no less, who’ve managed to finesse an antiquated property law called “adverse possession.” The brief version goes like this:
The Kirlins [...]

Under the Influence

11.22.2007

Courtesy of Chris Brogan who’s been an influence to me during the last few months, I’m answering the following meme:
“Who had a big influence on you and how did that affect the direction of your life and career?”
In the same spirit as Chris, it does make sense to express my gratitude for the individuals who’ve [...]

Favorites and Personal Branding

11.21.2007

Yesterday, I happened to catch Oprah’s yearly Favorite Things show. If you’re not aware of this particular event, Oprah uses her show to highlight the items she finds particularly useful/lovely/exciting/fun. She then gives every audience member everything she identifies as a favorite.
Out of curiosity, I kept a running tally of the retail prices as supplied [...]

The Business of Incentives

11.19.2007

Business incentives handed out by communities and states are interesting things. Government officials are quick to point out how such incentives benefit the area as a whole. Company officials are quick to highlight the benefit of working in a particular community and how much they appreciate said community (i.e., government) support. The language becomes very [...]

I Promise…Sort Of

11.14.2007

I occasionally make fun of politicians, mainly due to the numerous opportunities to do so. However, sometimes they make writing a post incredibly easy. This time, John Edwards takes a swing at Congress, appointees, and even himself (potentially), that never had any hope of connecting, but I guess you can give him points for being [...]

Focusing on the Big Idea

11.13.2007

Daily routines make up much of our days, and we’re so used to them, we sometimes don’t pay much attention to the action itself. For example, brushing one’s teeth has a place in many individuals’ routines. If they’re really dedicated they floss, too.
You may wonder why I’m writing about dental habits, but the habits themselves [...]
