Well, not just… But, as of today, I’m officially authorized by the State of New York to transport students in large, yellow vehicles. Again. (I previously drove school busses for two different school districts more than fifteen years ago now!) Last fall, as I contemplated ways that I could feasibly bring in a little more…

My Indirect (and Disastrous) Encounter(s) with Endurance International Group
This is a “for the record” kind of post. Perhaps you’ll find it as appalling interesting as I have while following all of the connected trails in my research. A good while back now, in what was the early childhood of the “internets“, I began what is my current career of website hosting management and…
When Life Gives You Lemons…
Or, even when it doesn’t. Lemonade still tastes great. Who doesn’t love a nice, cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer’s day? For a while now our kids have been excited to set up a lemonade stand in front of our house and sell to anyone who might happen by on a warm day…
Working
Time to write has been lessened a bit these days as work demands have increased for a variety of reasons. Definitely something to be thankful for when stories of unemployment rates frequent the pages of news sources. And I am grateful. I’m grateful that I have this job that allows me to work from home….
Who Me? A VCR Repairman?
Perhaps one of the strangest things I’ve done of late is a bit of repair man work on my office VCR! Who knew I could fix those? 🙂 One of the services I offer as part of my web/graphic design business* is analog-to-digital conversion. So, you bring me your old audio cassette tapes and I’ll…
Holding Pattern
It would seem the the operative word for me this moment is: Wait. For quite a while there’s been a stirring in me that something is going to change. They have never been wrong so far, these inklings, and so I’d guess this one will not be either. And in fact, I have good reason…
Do A Great Job, Not Just An ‘OK’ Job
This afternoon, what started out as some outside playing time, turned into the great deforestation project of 2010. While the boys and I were tossing the football around, Grandpa decided to climb up on top of their fifth-wheel camper and clear off some things. Well, that reminded me of a few low-hanging tree branches I…
Apple Posts HTML5 Showcase
I just saw a link to a new section of Apple’s website, showcasing the power of HTML5, the next coding language for the web. It of course was named in Steve Job’s open letter to Adobe as one of the main reasons Apple is not using Adobe’s Flash on their portable devices. (Almost) All of…
Desegmentation
Have you noticed how compartmentalized we tend to view life? While there certainly is truth to the “time and a place for everything” there is also the truth to “in everything moderation.” But for whatever reason (honestly, I would like to investigate this further and discover the root cause or causes) there is a very…
(Over) Ambitious Reading List
I seem to read books in spurts. I’ll go a long time without making time to read anything more than email and the daily news. But then, I’ll hear of or see a book or two… and get inspired to make the time to read them. Now is such a time! Between books I want…
