2023 Week 27 – Gettin’ Stuff Done
What’s Going On:It’s going to be a busy week as people return from vacations and deadlines start to loom. Last week was a 3-day week, and with so many people out of the office, it was a good time to get caught up on some low-priority tasks and prep for some big meetings coming up…

2023 Week 26 – It’s Not Easy Being Green
What’s Going On:It’s the weekend before the 4th of July, and a couple of weeks ago (while I was on my road trip), the Leadership Team at my office decided to give everyone an extra day off (July 3), so it’s a much appreciated 4-day weekend for this guy. Unfortunately, the weather has been anything…

2023 Week 23 – Pack it Up!
What’s Going On:Finishing the preparations for an upcoming road trip to West Virginia. It’s a combination of camping and a few hotels.

2021 Week 50 – Kindle Upgrade
I’ve been an Amazon Kindle user ever since V2 was released in 2009. That version had a keyboard and built-in cellular modem that allowed you to transfer data and download books anywhere, anytime. The Kindle e-reader does one thing and, in my opinion, does it very well. It provides a distraction-free reading experience. OK, two…

Goodbye Pocket, Hello Instapaper!
Always looking for interesting online content (and a place to capture it) I’ve been using the Pocket application since 2012. I even upgraded to the Premium version for around $5 a month which gives you some nice auto-tagging, searching, and archive functions. I was actually preparing to return to the free version of Pocket because I…

What We’re Reading/Watching/Buying in December
It’s been a busy month and Christmas is less than a week away (so is a much-needed week off work for yours truly). As I get older the years just keep speeding up & I don’t know of any way to slow them down! It’s just the opposite feeling from when I was a kid where…

What We’re Reading This Week (Nov. 22, 2015)
It’s about an hour before kickoff of the Colts vs. Atlanta game and time for another installment of what we’re reading this week. Yesterday TV Chef Mario Batali came to town for a book signing at the recently opened Market District in Carmel. Liz Biro at the Indy Star had the chance to speak with…

What We’re Reading This Week (Oct. 31, 2015)
I love to read and I find myself tagging a lot of online articles to read later. My first method (a long time ago) involved copying links and creating bookmarks. After that I progressed to using the Reading List option in Safari. After that I tried sending everything to Evernote. That worked for a while but…
