RG at the Console, on what client JP Dame calls "TheBatPhone" Wow. Again I look at the date of the last post and again I am shocked at how long these pages have been neglected. It’s not as if I haven’t been busy, and that’s reason to celebrate in this economy. But in the interests of getting something going again, without putting together something flashy about a recent project, I’ll take a cue instead from a lot of the talk about training I’ve
One Day Breather, sort of
Wow! It’s been 11 days since I last wrote here. I believe that’s the longest I’ve gone without blogging in three years. It’s really crazy! I’m taking a moment to drop in and explain what’s been happening since I’ve temporarily opted out of doing the social media thing.I’ve been absolutely deluged with work. For the first time ever I’ve had to turn away jobs. Thankfully, my regular clients have been very understanding. But I feel
Have you thought about insurance?

The Art of Conversation
Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, UK –very early morning shot, just me and the birds about! The most amazing thing happened today. In this age of blogging, social networking, forums, texting, instant messaging…I had an actual conversation with a stranger in a cafe. It was most pleasant. Usually we sit in our own little world with iPods, netbooks doing our business. I was having my coffee lost in iPodTouch land, enjoying my games. then this older man with a lovely friendly face and

What happens in Vegas
The catchy TV ads for Las Vegas tourism caution you: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. A banner at the airport reminds you of that slogan as you head to your departure gate. What happens in any place I travel stays there…..UNTIL I get home. When Drew and I travel, we never post anything on-line to indicate we’re not at home. Tweets about the trip, Facebook photo updates, and blog posts all have to wait until we get home. It would be too easy for crooks to see our
