Thing’s You CAN’T Do When You’re NOT…

March 11, 2010 · 1 comment

If you haven’t heard of Tripp and Tyler, they are two of the funniest guys I’ve seen. They also happen to live in Atlanta, so that makes them even cooler. I saw two videos of “Things You Can’t Do When You’re Not…” by them, laughed hysterically, and had to share. Enjoy.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.

March 1, 2010

Perhaps you’ve seen the commencement speech Steve Jobs gave at Stanford in 2005. It’s worth 15 minutes of your time. My favorite part of the speech goes like this:
I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed [...]

How young is too young?

February 5, 2010

Remember when the biggest worry for a middle school boy was how to impress the girl who sat beside him in homeroom? Or deciding what to wear in P.E. class so he didn’t look like he had chicken legs? Or making sure the trash ’stache was in full effect?
Now, for one boy at least, there [...]

How many cliffs have you jumped off?

When a disaster strikes, especially one of the proportions as the Haiti earthquake, the question is always asked: what’s the best way to help? My friends who work for non-profits all have similar responses, summed up like this:

And the Winner Is… My ‘Best of’ the Last Decade

December 31, 2009

Tonight, we’ll say goodbye to another year and begin not only a new year but a new decade. Reflecting on the first decade of this century has been, well, fun for me.
From 19 to 29, sleeping on friends’ sofas to owning my own home, single and unfit to be a parent to married with a [...]

Planning for a New Year: Tools I’m Using for 2010

December 28, 2009

Alan Lakein said, “Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.” That’s a great way to say it. When we sit down and think about our lives, what we want and need to do, how we’re going to get it done and when, we bring the [...]
