- What $4.05 gas means to Romeo
Nothing. If it doesn’t change how you use your car, $4.05 gas means nothing to you.
I had this thought as I picked up a cup of coffee this morning at a local gas station and watched people belly up to the pump to offload some cash. I actually hope it hits $5 or $7 per [...]
- Converting User Names to Real Names
It goes without saying that I’m a web dork. But I have to be honest and say even in my dorkiness I sometimes get confused on who is who. A blog may be named “Two fish with green eyes” but I know it’s Joe’s blog. And his AIM name is probably “PistolJoe” and I know [...]
- What do you do with a dead moose?
Last night I got hooked on a Discovery Channel show called The Alaska Experiment. I found it fascinating that they could take a few people from all over the lower 48 and they would not only survive in the wild of Alaska, some of them did quite well.
Then this morning Kristen sent me a link [...]
- Always and Never
As a 20 year old I sat next to Kristen in pre-marital counseling wide-eyed. The pastor knew we were crazy for one another and he said, “Make sure that you limit the times you say “always” and “never.“
That’s why I chuckled when I read Seth Godin this morning.
“I’ll never buy from you again.”
“I’ll never vote [...]
- Leaving Romeo: Bob
As I mentioned two days ago, it is now official that my tenure at Romeo is rapidly coming to an end. And while there is plenty of curiosity among readers about what my new job is all about with Youth Specialties… there are years to talk about that and just days to reflect on the [...]
- Find the value somewhere
I don’t talk about stocks very much, but I would consider the stock market a passive hobby of mine. It is a very fascinating time to own stock as the markets are all over the place. One day the market is on fire and you’ll add a few points here and there only to see [...]
- The Real American Idol
I know everyone is wondering who will win tonight on American Idol. Will it be David Cook or David Archuleta? But the contest that has been keeping me up late on Tuesday’s isn’t the pop music drama, it’s the political “idol.” With just a few votes left to be cast, the media is [...]
- Our Big Move
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind… literally. First, there was the crazy phone call that started it all. Then there was a lot of prayer. Then there was the trip out there. Then there was a lot more prayer. This was followed by some very tough conversations, more prayer, and a decision. Then [...]
- Facebook changes on the way
I’ve not been shy in sharing my preference for Facebook over Myspace. (Although I will admit that Myspace is much better.) Well, a friend of mine sent me a link about some upcoming changes to Facebook as they seek to de-clutter the site.
If you are getting fed up of all the vampires, booze mail and super wall [...]
- Figure Skating vs. Ice Hockey
In nearby Plymouth, Michigan the local government is discriminating against figure skating. That is, according to some angry moms. The story is that the local government has decided that since hockey pays 300% what figure skating pays for ice time, they are creating more time for ice hockey. [news story]
A couple of thoughts. (Feel free [...]
