I was reading a story online yesterday when a line in the piece made me stop and re-read it. The story was from the Indianapolis Star, and it was about a person who was injured during the filming of a stunt for the “Transformers 3” movie. After reading that the police did, in fact, confirm [...]

If you spend any time on Facebook (and who doesn’t, these days?), you know that after reading someone’s “status update,” you have four choices: Choice #1: Read it and move on to the other 75,000 status updates that people have posted in the past hour.

Our “Unbelievable Quote of the Week” comes from Mexico City, where the Mexican Supreme Court recently legalized gay marriage. The ruling did not sit well with the archbishop of Guadalajara, Juan Sandoval Iniguez, however. Archbishop Iniguez took some time away from covering up the Church’s pedophile priest scandal to comment on the ruling. First, he [...]

As regular readers of this blog know, I have an older brother who has severe cerebral palsy. Nicky, who is now 46 years old, has spent his life in a wheelchair, and needs help with the most basic things in life—eating, drinking, going to the bathroom, turning on a TV, blowing his nose.

I had a great two days of training and consulting with a large division of a Fortune 10 company a couple of weeks ago. Like any other massive company, this particular organization has some issues . . . one of them being they have too many silos, too many divisions . . . and too [...]

Wow. What a couple of days this has been. Ever since a California judge overturned the ban on gay marriage, known as Proposition 8, things have started moving very quickly here in the home of the brave and the land of the free. In the last two days, since Prop 8 bit the dust, here [...]

I like Facebook. I really do. I don’t like it as much as my wife Cindy likes it, because Cindy is addicted to it. She Facebooks in bed, she Facebooks on her iPhone while drying her hair, she Facebooks on the boat, she Facebooks in bed, she Facebooks in the car. In fact, the only [...]

My friend and unapologetic Canadian Kristen Ridley sent me a book in the mail last week (and it was such a treat to get something in the mail that wasn’t a bill, one of Cindy’s stupid catalogs selling all kinds of stupid shit, or a notice from the IRS!). The book is titled: “The U.S. [...]
