A Decline Group Rips Copper
On January 27th, I led another Over the Hill Gang group around Copper Mountain Resort. We skied the 4″ of new powder from the east side to the west, enjoying more than 13,000 vertical feet of terrain and lots of pow-pow. I’ve posted the tracks from the day here. The snow is finally arriving at Copper

Copper Mountain Resort, 26 January 2010
Today, I guided a “Groom Zoom with some bumps” group for the Over the Hill Gang at Copper Mountain Resort. We skied a bit over 16,000 vertical feet entirely on the western side of the mountain. You can find a recording of the runs we took by clicking here. The snow is finally arriving at Copper

Windows 7: Should You or Shouldn’t You?
Microsoft’s newest operating system is officially available today. Windows 7 has long been available for those willing to use beta software, and so many people have already experienced what is likely to be Microsoft’s most successful operating system release ever. Since I have been using it for a while both on test machines and on all of the Windows virtual machines on my Macs, I will have...

Insights into Travel
Since I’ve been traveling so much for so many years, I often forget that knowledge I take for granted isn’t necessarily well-known. So, at the request of a few readers of this blog, I’m going to give you insights into traveling that I have learned over the course of the million or so miles that I’ve flown over the past 20+ years. These days, since I live in Boulder, Colorado,...

Where in the World am I?
What is this? The Great Circle of my summer You may have wondered just what has been going on, since I had typed on this very blog about how I was planning to re-engage with it, let you know what’s going on, and generally communicate more. Then, I went silent. This graphic outlines part of the reason. You see, this is the Great Circle map of my flights since I last completed a post here on the...

Doing the Right Thing
Last night as I was the last one up and the house was quiet, it hit me. I remembered. I had forgotten up until that point with all the craziness of the day, but there is was, entering my thinking and kickin’ me in the gut: Tomorrow is the day. And that tomorrow came this morning. After a bright-eyed breakfast, our sweet Daisy puppy went with Mom and Megan to the vet. Yes, it was just routine...

One Number to Rule Them All…
A couple of months ago, my iPhone rang. I was in the Boulder Bunker, my basement home office, and as often happens, the call quality there was a problem. I scrambled up the stairs so I could still hear my new client, and then paced in the back yard as I talked with them so that the call quality would be good enough. I’d rather be in the office, though, where I have everything at hand. Today,...

More Focus, More Posts
I was sitting in my office today between calls thinking about how challenging it is to do all of the things that I’d like to do. In fact, at least some of them are impossible to get done! I can’t do everything. There are projects like Mark Joyner’s new business coaching that I’d like to explore and compare to what I do with my clients. There is even just getting posts done to...

The Secret to 21st Century Capitalism
Last week I sat reading an email from one of the mailing lists that I receive. Some Internet friends and I have shared our lives on this list for well over a decade. From life and death to kids with croup, we’ve laughed and cried together. Maybe I’ll tell you more about the group one of these days, but for now, I’d like to let you in our conversation from last week: the changing face...

Time is Money: iPhone 3G S, iPhone OS 3.0, and Palm Pre
In This Week’s Big Announcements, I mentioned that the Palm Pre, Apple iPhone 3.0 software, Apple iPhone 3G S handset, and Apple’s new MacBook Pro notebook computers were new products that were big on hype, but that you would want to consider what your business needs were before moving on any of them. In fact, I outlined a number of reasons for you to ignore the various products. Now, I’m...
