There’s a story breaking in Los Angeles. Our L.A. Rams might be coming home after wandering through the mid-west for the past 20-years.
And the Sports Dude is in there.
As background, the Sports Dude got really, really sick some years ago. It almost took his life, and it definitely impacted his career. He went
My daughter asked me a math question the other night. I replied, “I haven’t had to take a math class since Algebra II.”
Okay, that’s kinda a lie. I had to take stats in college to graduate, and was really happy to get through that class with a C.

[A] distinction is commonly drawn between sustaining and disruptive technologies. In broad terms, sustaining technologies are those that support and enhance the way that a business or a market currently
The most depressing day of the year is today. How’s that for a happy Monday, back to work, after the holidays thought?
I have to admit, there was a part of me feeling a bit of the Monday blues coming on over the weekend.
So I did a quick self-examination.

Here we are. A new year. Resolutions will be made by many, but not by me (Here’s why I prefer A Daily Resolution).
I have also decided to not look back. 2013 is so, well, 2013. I am well into 2014 and I’m wondering what’s ahead? What I can do? What I can shape?
