J-O-B –  I get asked about jobs pretty often…editing a resume, who’s hiring, what one might want to consider in order to put their best foot forward, what industry to pursue, how to negotiate a salary or what to charge as a freelancer…pretty much the gamut of getting a solid gig.

Spacebook and Instaham – Yeah…so social media… I don’t think it is very good for us.  I do not believe our brains’ have evolved to fully cope with the volume of stimulation these platforms supply.  I do not believe that our (my and your vs the platform’s) interests are aligned.

It doesn’t matter that people shoot themselves or police or EMS or innocent bystanders or the law makers or even our baby children…kind, […]

Study –  I’m studying a lot these days for the first time in a few years.  Head down research. I was searching around for tips and tricks on how to get more out of my effort and found this remarkable guide using comics. It really is good.

You Might Make A Difference; Part Two — Last week I wrote about how one might make a difference if they try.  I took my own advice. Again, I used my company’s blog as a forum to test an idea and it seems to have legs. I remarked on the announcement from Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Warren […]
