I noticed it first at a Kwanzaa party late last year. Having trouble keeping myself amused, I started quizzing those holding drinks and discovered that everyone there was kind of "into" news and recent events. For a second, I brightened. As a media junkie hanging out in a room of strangers, I realized it would be my lucky night if they all turned out to be informed and alive. It wasn't to be. Everyone was joking about who'd called whom, in the middle of what night, to break the news of whi...

You know how you buy an iPod and a month later a new iPod Touch is released? I always remember how my father came back home somewhere in the 90's from a business trip to the far East carrying a weird looking box with the label VCD on it. Yes, Video CD.

It seems that you just can't follo...

started out paying $39.95 per month for service and then it was
above $150 when I accidentally found out about it! I attribute
this to a slow but sure hike in prices and services that my
spouse just couldn't resist. She usually pays the bills and
keeps them out of my sight. Well, we now have one checkbook and
it is in my possession. The sheriff returned and cancelled paid
television service and returned our family to rabbit ears! This

"E-commerce"
A word pervading our society, making headlines around the world,
and causing the stock market to rise and fall with startling
ease.
It seems every business news story centers on some technology
company's "DOT-com" or "DOT-bomb"!
With all the positive and negative hoopla, business owners of

As an athlete (or at least having been an athlete in the past)
and a sports fan, one of the difficult things about finding
myself on an extended stay in Shanghai, China (setting up
sporting goods manufacturing and other business contacts) is the
near isolation from most American sports. Although basketball,
over the past ten or so years, has become popular among the
Chinese people, baseball has yet to find its way into the sports
culture here. While at every school or playground it's likely
