I had the pleasure of attending TEDxBoston earlier this week. I’ve been a huge fan of TED since I first discovered it and someday I hope I have the wallet and the invite to attend an actual conference. The day didn’t start off that great as the organizers didn’t have a collective decision on [...] Read more »

Taking Steps

Posted on July 29, 2009

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Lao-tzu I’ve always enjoyed and believed in that quote. The path that one’s life follows is always an interesting tale and I think that each of us makes decisions that takes us down a variety of paths. The Chapmans firmly believe in following the [...] Read more »

Sailing With Dolphins

Posted on July 27, 2009

I’m in Tampa on business today and came down earlier then I usually would have so that I could spend some time with my good friend PW Fenton. I really liked this picture because I think it captures me truly relaxed which something you don’t see captured all that often. *grin* If you were [...] Read more »

Is It Really The Weekend?

Posted on July 25, 2009

I took this picture of Emily last weekend when she let us know she had a loose tooth and then moments after I took this photo, pulled it out herself. Did you do that when you were a kid? I know I certainly never did. Dylan got back from camp yesterday. He had an absolute [...] Read more »

Last night I went to bed frustrated because I had forgotten a commitment and thus let down a friend. I woke up disappointed about it and when you add in the fact that the alarm went off at 3:30 am on top of all this it makes for a crappy shower and first cup of [...] Read more »

Brain Cycles

Posted on July 13, 2009

I’m very good at multitasking and always have been. But, have you ever had one thing decide that it is going to take control in your mind and not really let anything else get in there? That is exactly what I have felt like for the last couple of months and it is only getting [...] Read more »

I don’t need to tell you about it when Emily Explains It better then I ever could.

iPhone Hold Music

Posted on July 8, 2009

Yesterday I was called by my business partner Steve Coulson and told, “hold on a minute while I conference in….” What followed was a solid minute of silence while I waited for him to use the built in three way calling that the iPhone does so well. As I sat there waiting I pondered why [...] Read more »

For the last week I’ve been on vacation. On purpose I didn’t talk much about it, Twitter where we were or tell a lot of people what we were up to. In my mind, a vacation should be about unplugging, recharging and having a great time. All of those things happened this go around. I’m [...] Read more »
