Your personal email – think about the amount of information it can reveal about you, your co-workers, your company, your family, from party plans to shopping receipts to office gossip. Microsoft Outlook is really the American workplace standard for email and calendaring purposes. Knowing this, and say… a domain attached to your ‘interest’ can give [...]

I was going to write a post about Internet trends tonight. But Britney Spears, with her “comeback” on the MTV awards really hit me, one more time…. with her degrading body and silly moves at the MTV awards on September 9th. Yes, she’s getting fat, (not as fat as denver fat chicks) but she was [...]

Leadership Made Simple was launched on Amazon today and has made #2 on the Movers and Shakers List! Correction – it’s now #1 as I check right now. Congratulations Ed!

Most businesses love “best practices” and manuals. These written standards are orderly, rational and logical. They have been tested and proven. They’re great because they give a team the sense that everyone is “on board”. In the end – they are “justifiers”, a book to blame when a goal isn’t realized, a safety net for [...]

I have some awesome friends.  So I titled this awesome post as “Awesomness” – simply becasue that’s the best way to describe them.  Thank you all – you are awesomness.

I didn’t write this, it came to me in an email floatin’ around and am compelled to share it – credit to the unknown author. Weather Bulletin – Denver Up here, in the “Mile-Hi City”, we just recovered from a Historic event-may I even say a “Weather Event” of “Biblical Proportions” — with a historic [...]

The 80’s are long gone – but look around and notice all the downtown buildings all topped with huge neon lit logos – electrified egos of the top floor executives inside them. I live in Denver and the evenings here are dowsed with a glowing blue – residents greet visitors with “welcome to downtown Qwest” [...]

This president-elect is not the Messiah. He is not going to “raise the consciousness of the planet” or “change the world”. He is one man, just a man who will be Chief Executive of one nation. (Yes, one nation under God). Please remember the values this country was founded upon. And in the future, please [...]

A friend of mine in Louisville sent me a video today that just had me rollin’ in laughter.  For anyone working on the net this will crack you up.  The number of little jokes, nerd humor, frustrations and client assumptions are amazing.  This poor guy can’t even play Halo without getting interrupted. Thanks Scott!
