The 1982 World’s Fair

simplify

It recently occurred to me that through the course of my life I have devoted way too much time to socks.  Yes, socks. No, I don’t have some weird sock fetish or a creepy sock col­lec­tion, but rather I have spent count­less min­utes here and there sift­ing through laun­dry bas­kets, rum­mag­ing through draw­ers, and search­ing aimlessly […]

Uncle Rico

I saw a com­mer­cial last week for one of my favorite films, the cult clas­sic com­edy Napoleon Dyna­mite.  In addi­tion to mak­ing me laugh, the com­mer­cial set me to think­ing about Mar­ket­ing.  Specif­i­cally, I was think­ing about the les­son that can be learned from the char­ac­ter Uncle Rico.

Geoff Has A Blog!

My brother-in-law Geoff is one of the smartest and fun­ni­est peo­ple I know.  The guy is a freak­ing nuclear engi­neer, a cycling enthu­si­ast, a mas­ter of trivia, and one of the best story tellers I have ever met.
