Agile product development

May 14, 2014

I was at my favorite place in Cambridge last weekend, the Microsoft Research and Development Center, also known as the NERD Center; that’s appropriate, isn’t it? This conference was called Product Camp. And believe it or not, I do have other interests in life besides exercise and Peeps. Although, those two topics are more fun […]

It’s not about the marketing

May 7, 2014

Does good marketing insure success? No it doesn’t. Companies need to have substance and a personal connection behind their marketing claims. Mr. Ken is certainly enjoying a connection with his Easter Peep donut! It’s hard to see, but there is a little pink Easter Peep nestled in the donut hole. As cute as that is, […]

Create an oasis

April 30, 2014

We all need to recharge and relax. Even if you love what you do, you need a break. It’s wonderful to go to a different environment, but sometimes that’s just not possible. Relaxation can be a state of mind too. I am not able to physically get away much these days, but I’ve managed to […]

It’s time for a break

April 23, 2014

I am still learning that it is important to take periodic breaks from whatever you are doing. I experience first hand the benefits of this with my exercise. When I take a rest day or a rest week, I come back to my workouts stronger and more determined than ever. That being said, I still […]

How to watch the Super Bowl

February 5, 2014

So the quintessential American past time is upon us. I am not sure how I feel about the fact that Americans are most associated with sports, but I’ll let that go for now. I don’t like football. There I said it. What is the purpose of giant men (can we say 300 pounds of muscle?) […]

My 2013 blogging in review

January 15, 2014

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog. I have you, all my dear readers, to thank for my best year yet! I look forward to continuing discussions with you in 2014! I had visitors from 106 countries total! My favorite part of this whole blogging thing is meeting folks […]

Any New Year’s Resolutions?

January 1, 2014

Normally, I view resolutions as things to be broken. Then you feel guilty and all out of sorts. Who needs that? But, in my quest to be more in charge of my destiny, I’ve decided to be more accountable. What better way than to publicly declare my intentions? So here goes, my New Year’s Resolutions. […]

Social media rant

December 4, 2013

Do you love social media? Or do you hate it? Right now, I’m leaning more towards the hate side. Hate is a strong word, maybe more like annoyed. Blogging is my exception. I love it because I’ve met so many wonderful people from all around the world. I haven’t traveled abroad much, so it’s especially […]

There is always a way

November 20, 2013

I love walking; it’s my favorite form of exercise. You can do it anywhere and with minimal equipment. You can also do it at work and not get too sweaty. I used to love to take a walk in the afternoons, after sitting hunched over my computer all day. It was a great way to […]

If only . . .

October 30, 2013

How many times have you uttered the phrase, “if only . . .” When I was working, I would say, “if only I had more time so that I could exercise more and eat healthier.” Now that I’m caring for my Mom and doing volunteer work, I say, “if only I had more work to […]
