Back With a New Look & Faster
August 1, 2011 by ·
We've got the blog back in action with a new look; all our old content and it seems to be running a lot faster. Appreciate your feedback, please. Meanwhile the promised article about what happened, why the site went down and how we coped will be along in a little while.

Thank You!
July 29, 2011 by ·
Thank you for your patience as we worked to remove the files and nasty things left behind by the hacker that disrupted my site. It was turned into a pfishing site for a short while and sent many phoney emails to people trying to access their bank login information. It is not back to perfect operation; there are still a few weird things happening and the site appearance is not what it should … [Read more...]
Happy Memorial Day
May 30, 2011 by ·
Note to my overseas friends: Today in the USA we celebrate the memory of all who died in service to our country. It's an especially important one for me since my Dad died on the beach at Iwo Jima in 1945.

The … [Read more...]

iPhone Posting -part 2
April 17, 2011 by ·
(Next day) Didn't exactly rush to my comport or computer either. It worked, but found two typos, fixed them, and then added this note. Now I need to figure out how to add an image from either my iPhone directly, like if I took a photo at a tech expo or the blog site's media library, edit the post before posting it and then I will feel a bit more comfortable about this new "skill" of … [Read more...]
Posting From an iPhone
April 16, 2011 by ·
This is my first try at posting to my blog using an iPhone. It seems a wee bit unusual; no, it is downright strange and will take me a while to become comfortable doing it. I' m sure that my sons will be laughing when they see this, but it is truly hard for me to grab onto the fact that I or anyone can actually write something on a cell phone and have it show up on my website on the Web! … [Read more...]
Enchantment, The Book – A Deming Model…
March 8, 2011 by ·
A REVIEW: Enchantment The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions by Guy Kawasaki (On Sale today at your favorite book seller). At the risk of redundancy, I found both the book "Enchantment" and its author's, Guy Kawasaki's, launch and promotional activities of it, enchanting. It is more than a Deming Model, however; way more! Guy was like the energizer bunny with his emails, facebook … [Read more...]
