Awareness is Not Enough
One thing I’ve been realizing lately is that awareness by itself is not enough. It is not sufficient to just be aware of a problem. If I am aware that I have cancer and yet do nothing to kill and destroy it, the cancer will still kill me. Only when I take action against the [...]
Sometimes You Just Have to Do It
Sometimes the way forward is just that; forward. Sometimes the next thing you need to do is the thing that you should have been doing all along. Most times, we know where the next step is, we just don’t want to take it. We feel like we can’t, or aren’t allowed, or shouldn’t. We just [...]
3 Productivity Tips for Your Mac
In the last few weeks, I have been trying to improve my cluttered Mac environment. My dock had gotten quite full, and to make room I’d have to make the dock so small I wouldn’t be able to read any of it. And, I’ve been doing a lot of developing WordPress lately so I’d been [...]
Imperfections: Why We Have Teams
Think of a baseball team. 9 guys all playing together. They all have one goal: win the game, be the best team. How do they get there? They practice, they work together. They usually have very good players. But they’re not perfect. They have imperfections. No team is made up of perfect players. That means [...]
Video Games Saved My Life
Going about my usual blog reading, I was reading this post (which linked to this Mashable post). Great thoughts. I’d like to add a few. Video games are the movies of the next generation.

HOW TO: Make Your Mistakes
So, here’s one for all of us who tend to act before we think. Sometimes, we make an assumption that is incorrect. Others, we go on ahead without full knowledge. Still others, we just plain do something stupid. Now that you’ve done something, you can’t go back and do it over again. Ok, now what? [...]
Consuming vs Producing
Here’s a quickie for the start of the week. I’ve taken a little break from tweeting and blogging for the last week. Part was for vacation. Dusty and I went to Pigeon Forge, TN for a few days. We had a great time! No computers, no Twitter, just us. Wonderful. But it did cause me [...]
Patience is a Virtue
Saw this on a post from Ragamuffin Soul the other day. First off, I used to have a dominoes set. I could never get much done, because I didn’t have enough patience (and my steadiness of hand was usually off). This is an awesome set up! Second, as you watch, think of the patience that [...]
