Just found a 1955 "wheat penny" in my change that looks better than the others around it.
You know that you are getting older when your Mom asks for the name of the home blood pressure machine that you use.
Wow. It never ceases to amaze me what people in power will do when that power is threatened. The traditionals are squirmin' today!
Ever feel as if you were at the edge of a major breakthrough and your head was gonna explode...but in a good way?
I woke up thinking very "Nelsonian" this morning. http://ronamok.com/2010...
Congressman John Campbell just responded to my SOPA letter. He's co-sponsoring an alternative and looking for feedback. http://www.keepthewebopen.com/
Anticipating that NBC Sports will have a Super Bowl "ankle-cam" dedicated to the GRONK, I hope he wears a bloody sock.
Just wrote a thoughtful response on @kirstenwright's blog, only to have the Internet gods eat it. Grrrrr...
Re: Flip the coin to tell the story - http://www.christopherspenn.com/2012...
"Thanks for the mention, Chris! Change is very important in story. Storytellers must constantly judge how fast the plot is moving forward. Too fast and the readers/listeners don't make a connection with it. Too slow, and they've either fallen asleep or have moved onto finding something that moves faster. The best stories incorporate change as a result of conflict, which is why sales is a great story-topic. Think about all of the conflict opportunities in the sales process: 1) Customer has a problem to solve. 2) Sales person has a solution to sell. 3) Customer wants to solve the problem without paying an arm and a leg. 4) Sales person wants both arms and both legs. 5) Sales person has a sales manager who will gladly just take an arm. Great stories have characters in conflict, with a final resolution that leaves everyone in the story changed."

After commenting that my client looks great on camera, she accused me of being influenced by the fact that she signs my invoices.
Fascinating: We can put a person on the moon but we can't design a coffee pot that won't drip after pouring.
Automation is supposed to make life easier. I don't need an app that gives me assignments.
Just finished a major report that I've been working on for the past month. Maybe I can actually write my first RonAmok! post of the year :-)
Never trust an email that starts with "Dear valued customer."
Having never learned to "touch type" is proving to be an advantage while only having 9 fingers available to type with.
