July 4, 2011 Big Picture

I have told you before about how much I love TED talks.  One of my favorite TED talks is from Sir Ken Robinson.  He talks about how schools kill creativity. (I added the video below.)  I came across a video that features Sir Ken again doing a talk for RSA.  The RSA is “an enlightenment [...]

Wayne Crawford Remembered

June 30, 2011 Danville

I’m sure that everyone has at least one teacher they can point their finger to and say, “He (or she) was my favorite teacher.”  For me, Wayne Crawford was that guy.  When Mr. Crawford (no disrespect to his “Dr.” designation, you will always be Mr. Crawford to me) passed away this year, I asked District [...]

In line at the Apple store

June 24, 2010 Technology

Somewhere in the past couple of years, I jumped the Apple shark. A downward spiral where Steve Jobs has taken my soul and replaced it with one of those free Apple stickers you get in every Apple box. I’m a month shy of my 40th birthday, its 4:22am back home, and I’m standing in line [...]

My “Lost” Journey

May 24, 2010 Media
