Signs point to an improving economy as the dollar gains ground on the euro; markets trending upward. This is all very interesting in the light of the latest recession actually ending in November of 2001.

Good news can be hard to find, especially when the largest media companies don’t cover it. I learned from Good Morning America’s Matt Lauer that N.A.T.O. countries Poland and now Spain are on the ground in Iraq helping to restore order and keep the peace. It’s surprising to hear because even though the AP created [...]

I just learned about Sessions.com, an online school for design. You can get an accredited Masters certificate that covers multimedia, graphic and Web design. The site looks quite thorough and I know that Christopher Schmitt is a veteran design expert so this might be the shape of things to come.

The Internet is such an amazing phenomenon because it’s not just a new playing field, but a new kind of field. The possibilities are virtually limitless.
The reason I’m thinking about this is because everyone has different tastes in music, right? Some people (like myself) have such broad tastes that standard radio stations only serve satisfactory [...]

Some folks would love to be in a wheelchair. I’m not talking about healthy, non-handicapped people but those unfortunate individuals who don’t have the capacity to utilize today’s standard wheelchairs due to almost complete lack of movement. Well, it might not be long until these people find freedom in the wheelchair of tomorrow.

Dr. Bill Bright passed on this past Saturday evening. He was perhaps the most influential person of faith who has lived in this past century.

How cool would it be to design, build and then “live” in a new virtual world? One of the great things about technology is that it is always growing… larger… bigger… and more powerful.

Broken bones aren’t usually funny, that is, unless you are a comedian and it happens just 15 seconds into your act. The audience thought it was all part of Mark Olver’s act. He played along. “I was in a lot of pain, but managed to do about 15 minutes of material while on the floor, [...]

“Who do they sound like?” you respond.
