I came across a great Bud­dhist quote while read­ing Mihaly Csikszentmihali’s Find­ing Flow last night. “Act as if the future of the uni­verse depended on what you did, while laugh­ing at your­self for think­ing that what­ever you do makes any dif­fer­ence.” Being in a sales role, this quote seemed to really res­onate with my day to […]

Well loyal read­ers, I promised to pro­vide an update to the grip­ping saga that is my Inter­net bill as soon as any­thing changed. Hap­pily, last Fri­day some­thing did. At the time of my last post, I was dumb­founded by the lack of pro­fes­sion­al­ism demon­strated by AT&T / Yahoo due to their inabil­ity to resolve a $17.00 […]

Below is the text of an impor­tant email I received from savetheinternet.com — a group fight­ing to keep the inter­net out of the hands of big tele­com com­pa­nies like AT&T, Com­cast, and Ver­i­zon. The site has made it sim­ple to find out if your elected offi­cial is on the side of the peo­ple or simply […]

I would like to con­grat­u­late David Esrati, from The Next Wave, as win­ner of the 2006 Golden Bowler Award for his work on The Blo­goso­pher Sem­i­nar. David has pro­vided a great edu­ca­tional sem­i­nar to the Day­ton com­mu­nity, and here at Voice, we feel the need to rec­og­nize his work. By the way, this is the […]

Hav­ing AT&T Yahoo DSL is one of the great­est cures ever for writer’s block. Their laugh­able cus­tomer ser­vice reg­u­larly pro­vides me with mate­r­ial for this blog and hence I offer the lat­est chap­ter of the ongo­ing story pro­vided by AT&T Yahoo DSL. This chap­ter began in May with my reluc­tant renewal of ser­vice. I decided that […]

Google may be chang­ing the way you look at com­put­ing yet again with GDrive.  What the hell is GDrive?   It appears to be net­work stor­age deliv­ered to you Google style — huge amounts of stor­age acces­si­ble from any­where with inter­net access.  In short, GDrive would turn any com­puter into your com­puter.  Store all your […]

Recently, I have found myself very inter­ested in the con­cept of “Flow” and the works of Mihaly Csik­szent­mi­ha­lyi.  Flow is the state that one expe­ri­ences when totally immersed in the moment — much like an ath­lete or a musi­cian.  In this state time and space are altered.  Hours pass in what seems to be minutes, […]
