Have you ever been called out into a public battle? I don’t mean Thunderdome style hand-to-hand combat. I mean being unfairly, aggressively challenged during a business meeting on your ideas, facts or opinions. And when everyone else is watching, it adds a level of intensity and heightens your need to mount a defense. Or does…
Hi, I’m a PC. Not the nerdy guy in the commercials, but a genuine PC user. I have nothing against the Mac. I use whatever laptop my company gives me. And since I’m familiar with Windows, I’ve also bought PCs for my family at home. Like most people, I stick with the system I learned on, because…
The Popeil Pocket Fisherman! Who remembers the amazing invention that captivated the nation with late night commercials in the late 70s? Will you admit that you actually owned one? Did you know they still sell them today? For the uninformed – Ron Popeil (Ronco), a highly successful inventor and early infommercial millionaire, unveiled a fishing…
Coca-Cola has its closely guarded classic formula. KFC has its 11 herbs and spices. My Grandma’s famous noodles are made without a written recipe. Each one has created a long-lasting legacy based on “the secret ingredient.” The magic that holds it together… the one thing you can’t do without. But what’s the secret ingredient that…
It was time for recess, and my two favorite playground structures had primal names – the monkey bars and the jungle gym. Monkey bars were made of cold, grey steel. There was a straight up ladder on each side, connected by a horizontal ladder in the middle. You traversed one bar at a time, gripping…
What’s the difference between a non-fat vanilla latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon at most coffee shops, and the same drink at the Pacific Coast Café? It’s the secret ingredient – Donna. She’s in her mid to late 30’s, with dark brown hair neatly tucked under her cap, and glasses that slightly magnify her smiling…
Yes, it’s the opening line from Vanilla Ice’s 1989 megahit song “Ice Ice Baby.” I suspect that the suburban rapper honestly just needed a 4-syllable word to complete the line and found “collaborate” in a thesaurus. But could it be that he was truly ahead of his time on this one? With collaboration technology…
There is currently a Facebook group with over 3.8 million members circulating the message “We Will Not Pay To Use Facebook. We Are Gone If This Happens.” Come on… are these people really serious? Is Facebook a non-profit or a business? I understand that most of them are saying they prefer advertising-supported over fee-based. But…
I was talking recently with a friend of mine who considers himself a real man’s man. He made a sweeping, but interesting, generalization about women. He said “most women just expect a man to be strong…showing too much emotion is a weakness.” Is there some truth in that statement? In his book, Men are…
Could it be… that the ability to “find knowledge” is now more important than to “know knowledge?” I can recall all-night cramming sessions in my school years, trying to memorize factoids in history, literature and science. But with Google and Wikipedia literally at your fingertips now, why bother? My childhood library had a Dewey…
