Think Different

By Adam | July 9, 2013 |

I freely admit to being a bit of an Apple fanboy. Not as much as I used to be, but I do have a lot of Apple products in my house. In 1997 Apple began an advertising campaign called Think Different. It lasted about five years. You may remember it. I got to thinking about…

A D-lux Apartment in the Sky

By Adam | June 18, 2013 |

The move, discussed here, was not as long and arduous as I at first expected. That’s not to say that there were no issues involved in the process. I believe all my old posts have come through. I spent a few days skinning the pages to look the way I wanted. And bingo. Here I…

Taking the Road Less Traveled Occasionally Gets You Lost

By Adam | June 4, 2013 |

When I set out to write a blog I already knew that I wanted it to be a WordPress blog. There were several reasons for this 1. I had used WordPress before. 2. It was free. 3. I was familiar enough with the code to get it to look and feel the way I wanted.…

You Need Help. Serious Help.

By Adam | May 29, 2013 |

There are a lot of things that I don’t enjoy doing. Things like spending time with small minded people, watching the news, and reality TV. Sometimes these things are easily avoided, but other times, they provide a significant barrier to accomplishing my goals. Then there are times that the barrier is more of a wall.…

Kids Make Me Laugh

By Adam | May 14, 2013 |

My kids make me laugh. For those with children, I assume this is not a new thing. Kids are funny. The things they do. The things they say. They can be funnier than the best comedian. They can also be a gigantic pain in the stones, but we aren’t going to discuss that today because…

A Different Way of Seeing Things

By Adam | May 7, 2013 |

I take a lot of things for granted. Most people do. I am, generally speaking, a healthy person (I’ll come back to this part). I have a job, a house, a great family, good friends, and I am able to do things I enjoy. One of those things is playing hockey. Now, let’s get something…

I Need a What?

By Adam | April 9, 2013 |

Being in the graphic design field, I had the good fortune to have a pretty cool head shot done by a vendor a few years ago. Pretty cool for a moody artist type. I was younger. Not much grey in the hair. I wasn’t wearing my glasses. It had drama and depth and black. Lots…

No one is as smart as everyone

By Adam | March 19, 2013 |

I had a great post planned for today. It was full of bang and zip. It had all kinds of cool thoughts in it. And, it made absolutely no sense. As I said in a previous post, sometimes you need to fail to succeed. While I was pondering the mess that my post had become,…

I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends

By Adam | March 12, 2013 |

Once I decided to try to have my writing published, I started doing research. I went to the library, the book store, and searched online for info on how to get published. And, I found a whole lot of scary stories about rejection. The Giving Tree was rejected. Really. It was. And To Think I…

You have a book? What’s it About?

By Adam | March 5, 2013 |

One of the first questions an author gets after someone finds out they have a book is, “What is your book about?” Any author worth their salt should have a stock answer, an elevator pitch, that describes their book in a concise way that will allow the conversation to quickly move to the next question.…
