Rice paper amazes me. Fresh out the box, it looks like a paper plate. But.

What’s interesting is, rice paper is surprisingly strong. And durable. And it seems that no matter how many vegetables…

It’s that time of year again. Spending time with families. Traveling across the country. Hopping from one party to the next. Stuffing your face with food you normally avoid. Battling against supermoms for the last American Girl doll in the store. IN SHORT: Drama. Lots of drama. The good news is, even though the world around you has more drama than the season finale of Glee, you can still…

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” Computer visionary Alan Kay coined that phrase in 1971. At the time, he was working in the research department of Xerox. But, as innovative as he was, he failed to convince the higher-ups that his new programming ideas would revolutionize computing. Until.

Thanksgiving isn’t just about giving thanks. It’s about football, overeating, family feuding, travel atrocities, excessive shopping, more overeating, napping, more football, and most importantly, having the same three-minute conversation over and over again with people you don’t even like and should have unfriended on Facebook years ago. Best. Holiday. Ever. Anyway, it’s Wednesday night, it’s raining, and we’ve got a long weekend ahead of us. But as I sit…

Robert Frost was right. Taking the road less traveled makes all the difference. THE QUESTION IS: How do you navigate that road and still arrive at your destination in one piece?

Average inhibits your ability to grow. Average chokes your ability to matter. Average numbs your ability to contribute. And priding yourself on average means programming yourself for irrelevancy.
