The future of newspaper, part 1

I think I’ve mentioned a couple of times that I work for a newspaper company. It’s not an easy place to be, these days. Of course, I knew I was taking a job at a company where the industry was in decline when I took it. That was three years ago now. Three years ago, [...]

Playing doctor – 2009 edition

I bought a box of latex gloves at the store the other day for gardening. I don’t like the big fabric gardening gloves because they’re always too big for my hands and they aren’t waterproof. I set them on the counter and haven’t really put them away. Imagine my surprise when I came down this [...]

The future isn’t so far off

I ran across this today after reading about it on a technology blog, and I’m mesmerized. I can’t believe that I would see something like this already. It’s like Minority Report is here… See more funny videos and Technology Videos at Today’s Big Thing.

Jazzercise

I mentioned yesterday that we just moved offices. Today, I discovered that there are actual SHOWERS and a locker room on the 2nd floor of this new building!

Highlight of my day

Maybe even snoring. “Mommy,” he said softly, climbing up next to me, “Will you play ‘rock-paper-scissors’ with me?” “Okay,” I replied, yawning and sitting up. “Ready?” he said, holding out his little [...]

Cat on a Hot Roof (not tin)

This morning, I woke at the crack of dawn because I made a promise to Mia. Mia said, “Will you run with Komen 5K with me?” She said it in a pleading puppy voice. She said it with large, guilt-inducing doe eyes. Naturally I had no choice but to say yes, really. It’s not that [...]

Best. Presentation. Ever.

I had a fun day on the road today. I got to fly down to San Antonio for the day to talk to one of our TV stations about the initiative I’m working on. I was there to share strategy, train the sales folks on some of our products, and start a discussion with how [...]

First bridal shower

Yesterday, I went to my first wedding shower, ever. I mean, I’m pretty sure it was my first one. If I ever went to another one, I sure don’t remember it. If I had one for either of my weddings, I don’t remember those either. So, for all intents and purposes, yesterday counted as my [...]
