A few days ago Google announced a major change to its algorithm for website ranking, designed to ensure that search results would put quality sites near the top of the ranking. Apparently, there are many websites out there where the content is not insightful, does not offer anything new, and is only very obvious [...] So this weekend, while the wife and daughter were out camping, I checked out two movies I’ve been waiting to see for a while. The first is Red, which I’d see just for the great combination of the cast – Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis, and Mary Louise-Parker.

Last Saturday, October 23, they participated in a citywide contest that lasted all day. The band didn’t make it to the finals, but they put on a darn good show, better than some of the others we saw that day (yes, there’s a little [...] Last night I watched District B13 for the second time. The plot is nothing great, but it’s like watching one of Jackie Chan’s movies when he was in his prime. Many of the action sequences feature a sport called Parkour, which is defined as moving from one place to another in the quickest and [...] Here’s something I found while cleaning out some old files, and I thought it worth sharing. “Lessons From Geese” was transcribed from a spech given by Angeles Arrien at the 1991 Organizational Development network and was based on the work of Milton Olson. It was circulated by the Outward Bound Staff throughout the United [...] |
