Every time I see 2.9% shaved off the top of a PayPal payment I grit my teeth.There have been endless VO forum threads about this, and a vast majority say they just write this off as the cost of doing business.  They claim the charge on their yearly tax return as a...

Does anyone else notice the pace of things just getting out of hand? I suppose this is the problem with skirting the trending edge of the envelope in the first place.  It can leave you either looking like you're the smartest guy since Steve Jobs, or the biggest loser...

Up at 7am.  Really?  Normally, I've had just 3 hours of sleep at 7am, but on THIS day I'm expected to be chipper, entertaining, wise, and informative at that hour. Yes, I'm reprising my role as a self-styled Social Media know-it-all along with my equally-afflicted VO...

Deciphering the directions from voice-seekers is a minefield.  Reading between the lines can make you go cross-eyed.How many takes?  Do I send a processed audiofile...or one that's just bare bones?  Should I take the directions to the letter, or give them my...

Believe me...the biggest challenge in getting older is not that the knees go, or the hair gets thinner...it's reinventing yourself.  Staying relevant. Renewing the challenge.; being agile, adaptable.It means resisting the adage about not being to teach an old dog new...

In 2003 I bought a tablet computer from Gateway...operating system made by Microsoft. It did much of the same stuff the iPad does today...even some other things the iPad STILL doesn't offer. Why did Apple's offering become an instant overwhelming success, and a...
