My good friend Weems Westfeldt wrote a most excellent book on skiing called “Brilliant Skiing. Every Day.” Over the summer he revised it and now it’s even better. Get a copy if you’re a skier or know one. In his book, he introduced me to the idea that every day can be brilliant, even when [...]

April 4, 2011

Last week I contacted a local Apple store for the third time since the launch of the iPad 2. “I don’t suppose,” I began as I reached the store’s business desk, “You have an iPad 2s?” After she asked what I was seeking (a 64GB AT&T version), she told me that she didn’t have what [...]

Define Your Terms

April 4, 2011

In a scene from “The Princess Bride” that keeps running through my head these days, Inigo Montoya turns to Vizzini and says, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” It seems to me that much of communication suffers from the same issue: in a rush to reduce conflict, [...]

Creating a System

April 1, 2011

It’s easy to wing it. It doesn’t even matter what subject we’re discussing; winging it makes it all seem easier. It really doesn’t, though.

I am sitting inside the Las Vegas Convention Center helping to set up for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

Do You Feel Valued?

November 29, 2010

Three weeks ago, I took a drive to the mountains. I love the mountains and always enjoy any opportunity to get up to the thinner and cleaner air. This time, though, I exited I-70 earlier than usual and pulled into downtown Idaho Springs. Idaho Springs is an old gold mining town nestled in a valley [...]

It is one of the questions of the ages. Right after “Is there a God?” is this question: “How does God really see me?” Here is the truthful answer: I am patient with you. I’m not in a hurry for you to get it right or for you to understand. I have the time. Take [...]
