Well. (this is how Bruce starts a lot of his posts, and I didn’t want to startle anyone since I’m just “guest-ing”) Is it just me, or are women’s magazines really just ONE magazine with different covers? Granted, there are a few exceptions out there (Oprah readers, just stand down…), but after a week cooped [...]

Owl City “The Bird and the Worm.” The Bird and The Worm – Owl Ci… Ok. This song could possibly be called “part 2 of Fireflies” (because it just sounds like some producer said “hey can we cut out three and ½ minutes of that 7 minute firefly song you wrote and call it something [...]

The band’s sound is glammed-up 4/4 synth rock, with songs within songs and complex rhythm changes. “The idea is, [...]

I subscribed to trendwatching.com for two straight years at my last company. We wasted the opportunity to appropriately use the information as a company, but I personally used the information throughout client and company experience all the time. Incredibly interesting, forward-thinking consumer trend information that is delivered in interesting sound bite fashion. While I highly [...]

Through work and some friendships I have been on the periphery of the religious discussion and Christianity’s place in today’s world. I have [...]
