It is really human nature to maintain a bit of pride in one’s work or status. We are taught from a young age to be proud of what we do, but to do so without discounting the works of others. I have witnessed first-hand growing up in a small rural town what happens when the [...]

Without giving away too much about my political leanings (which should really, really not be too much of a brain-stretcher), I thoroughly enjoyed this evening’s festivities at the Flying Saucer in downtown Nashville. State House candidate Mike Stewart joined us for dinner. To be fair, he was distracted and Samantha and I had no intentions [...]

I believe that there are two groups of Internet users: a group that uses it for a specific purpose and those that idly browse a set of sites on a semi-regular basis. At work, I fall into the first group where any venture off of the company’s internal network is to track down a specific [...]

So much for the notion that a summer would go by without a saga for the Nashville Predators. Last year it was about how the team was going to move to Hamilton, Ontario would not move to Hamilton would be sold to a California investor would be sold to a group local investors plus a [...]

My wife has a fairly respectable library of novels, reference books, textbooks and literary compilations on the two bookshelves in our office. The only books that I have on my bookshelf are about Web design and programming. That is the section I typically make a bee-line for the moment we walk into a bookstore. As [...]
