Amazon Prime Day

"You do Amazon Prime Day?"

"I'll browse around but I'm not expecting much. I think since they've been doing it I had one good year. Most of the time the 'deals' aren't really deals if you look closely."

"I heard you can get good deals on electronics."

"All depends on what you're looking...

There were giants?

One of the great unsolved mysteries of my father is his viewpoint on God and religion. After he passed, I found his personal Bible that was presented to him when he was fifteen years old. It is a leather-bound King James Version Bible that's very old-school. What surprised me was...

In October of last year, I was promoted to Director of Consulting Services. The plan was for me to become the client director for the client where I was placed. Unfortunately, the client identified the dual role as a conflict of interest, so those plans were scrapped. I continued to...

Turn on the radio

"The other day some guy pulled a U-turn right in front of me. I had to turn on a dime to avoid ramming into him."

"Usually, they show U-turn. Like showing bunt in baseball."

"Not this dude. Came out of nowhere."

"And did you turn the radio down to concentrate?"

"Yes. I'm not the...

Happy Birthday iPhone

The first iPhone was released exactly 15 years ago today. It was a Friday, and I took the day off from work and had a plan. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
