1 + 2 = 8 I’m fairly good at math. Trust me when I say that 1 + 2 = 8. Mensa people relax, it’s not some new-math. I’m referring to ballot propositions. It occurs to me that Dallas’ Prop 1 & Prop 2 have a lot in common with California’s Prop 8. No, Props [...]

No Offense . . . We all watched the Miss USA Pageant on Sunday night. Admit it, you did. Who can’t resist a beaded gown? Just as ugly people have value, Miss California proved to everyone that pretty people can be selfish, closed-minded, offensive and arrogant. Miss California, who had a fabulous gown, was asked [...]

eGay – Sell my Stuff I’m a competent person. No, really I am. I have no fear of the virtual world; I shop online, pay bills, and have profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn and GLBT Biz-Net. Buying and selling on eBay should be a piece of cake. Well, as much as I like cake I have [...]

Hot Cup of Talk! If you’re not really a morning person you probably think networking at 8:30 AM is just crazy. Don’t get me started on Dr. Peay’s Booty Camp! Anyway, we might very well be crazy, but that doesn’t mean we’re not good at what we do. Today we proved it with the launch [...]

Follow the Money Lately it seems like everyone wants to ‘follow the money’. Who got a government bailout? What did they do with it? Where did it go? These are important questions that we should all be asking. We need to ask the same questions of every company, large or small, with which we do [...]
