Less Is More

February 4, 2017

The last couple of weeks I’ve been really impressed with the concept of “less is more.”

In a culture that thrives off more, having less has certainly become counter cultural – but it works.

This is one of the reasons – in my opinion – Apple has historically done well. There are less options.

So how does that play out in my own life?

Ironic

January 19, 2017

The irony of being called a “professional blogger” is not lost on me.

While many bloggers may let their personal blog turn into a wasteland of characters – as I have mine – I have seen the number of posts I publish around the web diminish beyond the “hobby blogger” and into the “blogger-wanna-be” realm.

I have seen my career (seems like a generous term at times) take a number of curious turns these past several years.

My 2016

January 1, 2016

This blog post has been sitting in my head since the beginning of the New Year.

In fact, I think I’ll post-date this post just so I can have a nice mile marker to look back on.

Getting Things Done

October 16, 2015

I read another blog post about “getting things done.”

I would imagine if I took the total amount of time I’ve spent reading about getting things done, I would have gotten a lot more…well…done.

Ironically enough, after having spent more time reading yet another such blog post and not getting things done, I realized something about these ‘experts’ I had been listening to.

Away from Instagram and Back Again

July 17, 2015

Instagram has been an interesting journey these past few years.

When we got our first iPod, Instagram was the new awesome app and social network. We started before it was available for Android, so we felt pretty hip. 😛

I say, we, because it was the first and only Instagram enabled device in the house. And since my wife and I didn’t want to flip a coin to see who would have the Instagram account, we attempted to share it.

Why I Am Trying to Avoid Fanboyism

June 3, 2015

My next computer might not be an Apple.

I know, it’s sounds crazy, but I’ve been really trying to think everything through.

“Fanboyism” is a very powerful groupthink dynamic and I don’t want to be sucked into it—again.

I remember when I made the switch from Windows to Apple. I became that person that said they would never go back, but alas, here I am entertaining the idea.

The Secret to My Success

April 30, 2015

Earlier this month, my heart was struck with great joy and sadness.

While both of these seem like polar opposites, both events struck a chord with me in the same way. A lesson in life that I try to remind myself all the time.

Let me start with the sadness…

Don, the man that gave me my first job, died this month.

Challenge Accepted

March 9, 2015

At the end of 2014, I took a long shot.

I saw a job opening on the Church Relevance website and thought I would drop my name into the running.

Having read the job description, I figured I could handle it and their overall mission was very curious to me.

With a mention to it being a “telecommuting position,” the choice was easy. So, I followed through with the application process.

Never Disconnected

February 25, 2015

The weekend before last, we all loaded up into our car and drove down to Scerni, Italy.

The six hour drive took us back to a place where we lived for 4-years and it had been about a year since we had been back.

It was a great trip.

Me and the Mrs. enjoyed it.

The kids enjoyed it.

And their grandparents enjoyed it.

Here are some of the photos I snagged and shared on my Instagram:

Human Bandwidth

February 20, 2015

Since the beginning of the month, my life has been nothing but crazy.

Between starting a new job, recovering from being sick, landing a few new projects, and a quick weekend trip with the family, my human bandwidth has been maxed-out.

I’ve known there to be limits, but have never really experienced it like this before.
