Recently I’ve had a number of opportunities to listen to people’s stories, to people’s daily happenings, to people’s frustrations, to peoples’s pieces of their lives. Yesterday I was particularly interested in a friend’s perspectives on some political things. I genuinely wanted to understand and to see if his perspectives would add some different colors to [...]

You may have stolen my phone charger, my camera, one pair of sunglasses, a pair of gloves, the owner’s manual, and some binoculars…
…but you didn’t get the rhinestone sunglasses! And, you didn’t get me to stop smiling. So, HA!

Intro
Well, it’s a Thursday. Once again, I’m at work early. I like the calm and quiet of the mornings. It allows me to think clearly, feel fully and breath with ease. I’ve been this way for a while, going back to working at the health club during college through the mid-90’s. I had mostly early [...]

I just added this as my Facebook status. “Toby is quagmire laden, feeling morose, exhausted, refreshed, enlightened, verbose, confused, capable, smart, hungry, thirsty, and finally some enchanted melancholy.”

So, I was reading this post from OneNote Extensibility & More. They have a great explanation of a “how to” in that post. Now, keep reading here…

In my job hunt, I have been contacted by many people and many companies, via various methods. Today I got a second email from USA Voice. The first one I deleted because I just didn’t feel comfortable about it. Both of the emails were in my Junk E-Mail folder. For today’s email, I did more homework. [...]

Sometimes in life we don’t have as many choices as we’d like, or we don’t have a lot of choices. We can all make whatever choices we want. There always are choices, and there always are consequences.
I’m taking a stand. I’m not going to hang out with negative, pessimistic, cynics. I’m not going to accept it [...]

For a while now, I’ve been afraid to write an About page. I’ve been afraid because I thought it would peg me down to what I was or was not. Yes, it does do that. But, now it’s 2007 and I’m ok with that. I’m ok with people thinking whatever they want, and with disagreeing [...]

I am not alone in my thinking…

I’m reading more about this right now, and I have not yet had my coffee this morning. So, my opinion and perspective may change. However, at first read, you sound just like any other person in the long line of people complaining about “the successful company.” Since when does “play fair” equal “don’t be evil?” [...]

I don’t think this will work. I don’t really feel better either. But, after I commiserate, maybe I’ll… well… have shared in public. Oh, pity, pity, pity…

OK, I just lost faith in wikipedia (small letters to note “due respect” 
and gained faith in cocky punks that are clueless, but more persistent than the legitimate entities they blitz.
XPLANE is a totally legit company and had a page up on Wikipedia. Some punk snot marked it for deletion. (Veinor should be [...]
