  My life of silence   Uncategorized (3)

  I’ve been off the blogosphere for the last two months. My Blog is full of articles concerning the relationship between culture, business and art. I have enjoyed the blogging adventure for more than one year, so why should I stop writing posts and cahnging opinions with my outstanding friends?
  The reason is very simple. I have [...]

  The Wisdom of Crowds   Uncategorized (1)

  I am currently listening to the audio book, “The Wisdom of Crowds,” by James Surowiecki. This is a fascinating book on the lines of Blink or the Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. The basic premise is that crowds of people can be incredibly smart under certain circumstances. So intelligent in fact that their collective wisdom [...]

  Bzzzz…   Uncategorized (6)

  Lots of things become hot topics, or seem to become pervasive over night. For example:

  I have noticed that I can hardly walk into a hotel these days without finding at least one item with the words “Shea butter” in the description. What the heck is a Shea, and how do you make butter from it?

  The [...]

  Reflecting on where I’ve been   Uncategorized (0)

  In the midst of trying to figure out my brand, work asked me to write a bio and allow my picture to be taken for the website. For whatever reason, the owner decided that it was necessary to have the admin and lead instructor on the pages for her centers along with the directors.
  Great! I’m [...]

  Flickr’s Last 7 Days   Uncategorized (0)

  Rosa brought this to my attention some time last year. Flickr has a page where it highlights great pictures from the last 7 days. The photography is wonderful. Reload the page, and the awe comes over you in waves again and again. Hypnotic, enchanting, addicting… just don’t blame me.. your world co-habitants had something to do with this!  Technorati Tags : [...]

  Technical Difficulties - Please Stand By   Uncategorized (1)

  What happened when a television station or a radio station went on the blink twenty years ago or so? You’d get a notice from the stations that they were having technical difficulties, and that you should just “stand by”. And we did, we waited around for the program to start again.
  Think about it, [...]

  Time off now, not later   Uncategorized (3)

  Two articles in the Boston Sunday Globe came together this Sunday, Father’s Day. One, written by Sue Dahling Sullivan, was her thoughts on taking vacation time. She was surprised by an Expedia study that shows approx. 30% of Americans do not take the vacation time they are allocated during the year. I’ll admit to doing [...]

  The Worth of a Blog   Uncategorized (1)

  June 5th, on another site, I posted:
  I noticed this morning that William Parry’s blog is worth $2,822.70. The last time I checked, mine is worth nothing!
  Something is definitely wrong here. Somebody is mad at me, out to get me, treats me unfairly, probably jealous of my fabulous blog and its remarkable readers, and afraid the [...]

  Connecting by inclusion   Growth, Uncategorized (0)

  What with one thing and another, early childhood and later life experiences I have always felt excluded. Recently I decided that is a state of mind. My life partner’s family supports and loves me unconditionally; early childhood organizations have elected me for their Boards; a few years ago I was included in the Ph.D. club for [...]

  White Beauty   Uncategorized (1)

  It’s one of those oddities of life that I’ve come to love the Rocky Mountain west; I’m originally from the Midwest, which is flat as a pancake. I’ve also lived in a flat part of Texas, and on the east and west coasts. It was only a few years ago, through my latest business adventure [...]
