There’s a lot of talk on CNBC and elsewhere about what’s coming in 2010. Before you take those predictions to the bank, just remember that analysts do a much better job interpreting data from the past than projecting it into the future.

Philadelphia’s Brotherly Love and Social Media
September 28th, 2009 · Comments Off on Philadelphia’s Brotherly Love and Social Media
I don’t mean to be sexist in the title of this post, especially since there are so many women involved in the organizations, both charitable and social media centered that are the focus of this post, but the term is a natural when you talk about Philadelphia and charity at the same time.

September 11, 2008 Remembering 9/11 like it was yesterday, tonight I sat and watched 102 Minutes That Changed The World on the History Channel, alone. My family sleeping, I sat in front of my TV with my jaw as open as it was that day. Most reading this will remember what they were doing that day. […]
Stinky Cheese!
September 16th, 2008 · Comments Off on Stinky Cheese!
I went to the shore last weekend to visit with my wife Christine’s family. My brother-in-law asked me to pick up some “stinky cheese” before coming down.
