Lost, but not gone!I have taken a bit of a sabbatical from the blog posts. I have been traveling and working on things new and at times novel. I still astounded at the opportunities that exist in this down economy. More on that in future posts.For today, this last day of 2008, I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year! May you and yours have strong and good health, a prosperous

Resume 2.0I have long wondered how long we would struggle with archaic ideas such as paper resumes and job boards. A few months back I received a Beta test invite for Visual CV.I waited longer than usual to try it out...but wow. This is a much better way of sharing information. Forget about the slow process of multiple interviews just to be considered for the "short list." This program allows

By now, unless you watch no television, don't listen to radio or surf the web, you have heard of T. Boone Pickens and his alternative energy plan. His plan consist of creating a large field of wind turbines and distributing their energy back into the power grid. Several states allow and some even demand that power companies purchase excess energy.Other applications like solar and wave energy

Sic Transit Gloria!In ancient Rome when a conquering general was invited to the capital for a victory parade, he was crowned with a garland of laurel and clothed in scarlet. The treasures of his conquest were paraded before him along with the captured slaves and often defeated kings. The crowd would chant yet all the while a slave positioned to speak directly into the conqueror's ear "Sic

Being Heard not part of the Herd!Seth Godin writes in today's blog that it is not the product or the price but the audience's ability to listen. Seth makes a great point that should be considered long before contact. Ask yourself, "Am I necessary and will my products/ services benefit my audience?"As a business owner, perhaps nothing is more frustrating than someone wasting your time. I

I have recently become slightly addicted to Twitter. My wife teases me about it. The computer will chime and she will joke..."some one just tweeted you." I am building friends there and meeting new people, but there is something pretty rich about it. These little url attachments have introduced me to a whole new world of sites that i could never find on my own. So if you have time.

Good and EvilAs I have been thinking about the presence of God perhaps one of my first thoughts was about the existence of evil. When I hear people speak of God they often use words like omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and many phrase from the Bible speak of his goodness and excellence. So...where does evil come from and is there such a thing? Lets look at the logic argument.If there is

The "Art" of reading and writing persuasively is called rhetoric. It may seem a bit odd that fiery rhetoric, we often hear in political debates or on the daily news shows, is very similar to the Greeks and their goal of persuasion. However just because it's old doesn't mean it's good, you may note the major failure in the Greek world ( think Alexander the Great).Rhetoric hopes to fashion an

Here's the thing.  Many educators are just too caught up in regurgitating subject matter as it was regurgitated to them.  This continues a long line of regurgitation which, by now, you probably have realized is as unattractive in words as it is in practice.   How many thing in today's society begin this way?  I mean, we as a culture have to learn by those who come before us... you know the "

I was listening last night to BlogTalkRadio.com when I came across a site on religion. No surprises there. It seems anything controversial can be found on the web in no short supply. There were two well intentioned young men, I think from the US, explaining how the Christian Bible fortold of Mohammad the "Prophet of Islam."As I listened to them throw hermeneutics and apologetics to the wind I

Summer is a great time to catch up on a subject you may be a bit behind in or gain a bit of advantage for the next school year. It's easy to get behind with all of the work that is out there to be done during the regular school session.In just a couple of hours a week you can significantly improve your standing or increase your mastery of a subject. Studies show that spending just 3 months

The thought occurs to me that we Americans may from time to time forget about our freedoms. We may get caught up in the day to day issues and forget to be thankful for all that is given to us as part of our birthright. Thankfully, we remind each other every year on the 4th of July at least in some small way that we are indeed free. The innovators of democracy, free markets, and liberty have an

I am amazed how young children can navigate the most complex computers and video games. In fact without knowing how to read, they can often change complex settings by being shown once. These are known today as "Digital Natives."Unlike many of us, they were born into the age of technology. They have never known life without the benefit of computers. They have developed a digital intuition that

I noticed the other morning the roads were a little less congested in the morning, there was an absence of those big yellow buses, and the sound of poorly tuned musical ice cream trucks filled the air. It must be summer.Do you remember when you were young and that was the best time of the year...well maybe next to Christmas and your Birthday. It was a time to get lost and enjoy your old

Social Networking! How can it help me?With so many links and sites to choose from, it is a bit confusing these days where to turn for a good place to settle in. Unless you are a network marketer or have all the free time in the world...there are just too many site to visit, let alone add content.Here are a couple of suggestions:Find a group, network or site that relates closely to what you do
