What Would YOU Tell Kevin?

You on Google

Online, Google is like air.   You must have it to breathe.  Or at least it's like water, which is essential to life. So, whatever thoughts you have about Gov't surveillance, Edward Snowden and the NSA...forget it.  Google is the omniscient, Big Brother, all-seeing eye of Sauron (Lord of the...

What Really Matters

July in Vegas is hot enough.  But these days, there's a raging fire on the nearby mountains.  30 square miles are consumed, 800 firefighters are working the lines, and a few hours ago, the containment assessment went from a paltry 15% to 10%...so like....nothing! Most people don't know that Mt....

Getting Serious

In the last couple of weeks, I've seen an exponential number of new requests to be in my FaceBook Group "Voice-Over Friends".  As far as I can tell, there's no accounting for it.  Terry Daniel, who administers "Voice-Over Pros" is seeing the same thing.  We've discussed it, and can't figure out...

A Niche in Time…

July brings with it a sobering thought.: Half the year is gone! I often joke that I'm still trying to figure out where 1992 went, 'cause I can't remember being IN that year...or what I did WITH it.  [But I won't bore you with my missives about selective amnesia.] July REALLY brings with it the...
