  1. 2012: The New Year’s Resolution Post

    Posted by Burgher Jon
    / January 4, 2012 / Leave a comment
    When I went from part-time blogger to near-daily blogger at the beginning of 2010, I did it with a post about New Year’s resolutions.  I kept up the tradition last year, and have finally taken the time (it’s taken a few days to hammer out this year’s posts).  When I...
  2. 2011 New Year’s Resolutions in Review

    / January 3, 2012 / Leave a comment
    There’s no sense in posting my New Year’s Resolutions on this blog each year (as I did in 2010 and 2011) if I’m not going to revisit them each January in advance of writing some new ones.  In addition to providing accountability, I think there are things to be learned...

    Thursday of last week I went to the toy store (Verizon Store) and picked up two new toys.  A Motorola Xyboard and a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, my intention is to review both of them this week.  First up is the phone. What I really wanted was a Droid 4, but...

    I am taking a couple days to enjoy the family and think not about cloud, financing, or even technology.  Catch me again on Monday.
  5. Breadth, Focus, and the Need to Practice Thinking

    / December 21, 2011 / Leave a comment
    I had a great conversation a few evenings back with a new friend.  She had read many of the same books I used to read when you saw Book Reviews popping up on this blog on a very regular basis.  I still read those books, but MUCH MUCH slower than...

    I am aboard the 635 flight to Charlotte, banging away at a blog post since I know it will be the last chance I get to do one today.  I am leaving town only 2 days after arriving from a thanksgiving trip that I left for only 3 days after...
  7. Happy Thanksgiving

    / November 24, 2011 / Leave a comment
    This Thanksgiving, in addition to the ridiculousness of the actual holiday, I am trying to spend a little time focused on just how good I have it.  Sometimes it’s easy to get wrapped up in the rat race and forget that we’re having fun.  That my rat race is the...
  8. The Hard Days

    Posted by Burgher Jon
    / November 8, 2011 / Leave a comment
    For me, the easy days are the ones where I can see success clearly.  When I go for a run and beat my best time by a minute or nail a client presentation or finish a product.  Those are the days that make me want to double down and work...
  9. Heroes

    / November 7, 2011 / Leave a comment
    This year I’ve watched as Steve Jobs passed and Joe Paterno has been hobbled.  Two men who I had only a few years ago considered invincible.  I could only understand it vaguely, I knew that they were mortal but it was something that I had almost allowed myself to forget. ...

    Nine times out of 10 what gets written on this blog is whatever I have on my mind in the morning its being written (the 10th time I’m actually a good, productive blogger and have done my homework on a particular subject).  Today that thought is how much I love...
