Attention Versus Value

12.31.2007

Of late, I’m doing more people watching than usual, and I’m particularly fascinated by those under 20 due to their clothing selections. Beau Brummell, THE male fashionista of Regency England, said that, “If people turn to look at you on the street, you are not well dressed.” Based on what I’ve seen of late, I [...]

Finding the Perfect Pair

12.19.2007

My apologies for the light posting the last few weeks. Between travel and the craziness of December, combined with finishing up client projects, blogging dropped a bit on the list of things to do. However, a topic has stuck in my mind the last few days and it has to come out—shoes.
“Why shoes?” you ask. [...]

The Politics of an Apology

12.13.2007

I haven’t written a “political” post in awhile, and recent events created a hard-to-resist setup. Last week, the Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, gave a speech that was billed as focusing on his Mormon faith but in reality just did its best to tout Romney as a Christian candidate. From my perspective, it came no [...]

Chasing After Innovation or Money?

12.07.2007

Most nights, for the hour or so that I watch tv, I catch at least one Apple commercial. Of late, they’ve included particularly pointed byplay between “Mac” and “PC.”

At the same time, I’ve watched posts flying all over the web about the issues with Mac’s latest operating system, Leopard. And even if Mac [...]

Worlds Collide—George Eliot, Buffy, and Super Glue

12.04.2007

Last week, I fulfilled one of my fondest wishes and ordered the full Buffy the Vampire Slayer series from Amazon (it was a killer sale). I practically tackled the UPS delivery man when he showed up with the box. My first experience? The bottom of the DVD box fell off without me doing anything more [...]

Make No Little Plans

12.03.2007

Second to my love of language, I love buildings. At one point, prior to learning that calculus and physics weren’t my forte, I planned on becoming an architect. I went through a series of sketch pads as a child and built my creations out of Legos. Even now, I still sketch floor plans on scraps [...]
