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 [...]

March 20 is today’s date. This year it’s the 80th day of the year (leap year). There are 286 days remaining. It’s the first day of Spring! It’s also plenty of other things. Three of those things, I think are really cool.
Today is World Storytelling Day!
Today is the birthday of Frederick W. Taylor - an [...]

I have been following a lot of information for several years now. I do that with blogs, with RSS feeds, with alerts, with email newsletters, with a few hard copy magazine subscriptions, with some journals, and also a lot with listening in whatever way possible.
I’ve come to some conclusions.
I can change the world.
Everyone has the [...]

I am in Fort Benning, GA. This trip was a surprise. Both Tim Getsch and I flew down today to surprise Terry. We both could not be more proud! Out of [UPDATE: approximately 230] 240, only 96 passed. My youngest brother is one of them.
Terry, thank you for your service and your example. You are [...]

This is a repost. It’s worth mentioning again…
“Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you’re keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop [...]

I’ve been on vacation this past week. I left work on Monday afternoon and will not be connected there until Monday morning. That is the vacation part.
The fun part was that on Wednesday afternoon my sister got married. I got to see lots of family and friends back in Minnesota. (If you didn’t know, that’s where [...]

Hey Robert~
I just left a comment on one of your recent posts. I also recently took a break from blogging and reading blogs. Upon my return, it’s no surprise that of all the blogs I ready, yours had the most posts.
However, I’m sick of hearing about Twitter and Facebook. I think you’re more creative than [...]

I recently took a break from blogging (both writing and reading). To put this into perspective, I follow about 160 blogs. About half of those are very much work related. I was probably spending about an hour per day reading and maybe another hour per day writing my own blog posts or responding to others.
(If anyone is paranoid [...]

I’m going to take a break from blogging and from reading blogs. I need a summer refresh. I’ll be as out of the loop as possible at least thru July, maybe longer. I’m going to focus on getting more in shape, physically, mentally and spiritually.
Just do it.
Because I can.
UPDATE (7/25/2007): I just [...]

Tweblog

4×4 Weekend
TechProfound
HoopsTech
While that subject is accurate, it’s not very true. Those are the blogs that I currently have the ability to publish to and own. They are not all that up to date.
Tweblog is current, but still could use a better About Me page.
Getsch.com is supposed to be family stuff, but it’s not really getting any [...]

I can’t give enough kudos to this concept - Emotional Intelligence. I’m continually trying to learn how to be a good coworker and leader, primarily by going this route. It really differentiates between management and leadership.
Here’s the lead in paragraph, but check out the full article from the Seattle PI. It even includes a “profile” of [...]

This [UPDATE: link to Wikipedia's KM page] is a really good answer to this question. I am the new Knowledge Manger at ECG Management Consultants. Sometimes I can explain what that is in a really simple and clear way. Other times it’s much more difficult and very wordy. Today, I was [...]

This morning, during my bus ride to work, several passengers were smirking and pretending not to listen to the cell pone conversation of a younger person and his friend. This boy was about 13 or 14 years old. Cell phones and text messaging are a normal part of his life. “No, dude! I send hella-text [...]
