Blog?
Well Luke and I have clearly hit the skids for a bit. As is so often the case, and I forecast in my first post, life will occasionally step out and get in the way of the best laid plans.

At first glance than, it must seem a natural fit to take that step onto the internet and apply the knowledge to a medium like blogging. Invariably though, knowing how to use a hammer and being able to build a house end up being two different things. My friends tell me too, you may not realize that you didn’t WANT to build the house until after you’ve started.
I guess I’ve just held out about as long as I can, Read more »

I’m not a blogger. I get things done the old fashioned way, I call people, meet them for coffee, and make descisions to do things face to face. But i’m realizing more and more that this is where things are getting done these days. If I want to continue to be productive in the eyes of my friends and associates, i need to get things done where they see productivity happen.
