Write Like a Second Grader

11 Feb 2011, Mike

I write for a living. Twenty-plus years of it, as a matter of fact. Heck, I’ve even gotten kind of good at it (although there are some who I will never equal…people like President Reagan’s speechwriter, Peggy Noonan, or former IBM top blogger, current GM head of digital media, and all-around great friend, Christopher Barger…I...

Commuting Tip: Post-Its

11 Feb 2011, Mike

When I was first starting out, I did the four-modes-of-transportation commute from Hackettstown, NJ to the East Side (car -> train -> Path -> rollerblades/feet).

I’ve never made any excuses for being a big fan and supporter of the conferences organized by Eric and Kim Norlin (and their dedicated group of pool hustlers family and friends who make the events run smoothly).

Traditions have to start somewhere. One of my favorite traditions began in 2009 with a simple, spur-of-the-moment dinner invitation from our very close friends Steve and Tracy Nees. It’s a dinner we now do every year on the day after Christmas. What makes this tradition special is that simple means... Continue Reading

Punkin Chunkin 2010

26 Dec 2010, Mike

For the second year in a row, we trucked out to the middle of a Delaware farmer’s field to watch teams launch pumpkins through the Fall sky. The field was ringed with contraptions powered by air, tension and torsion. It was the torsion contraptions that we were most interested, as... Continue Reading
