On our corporate blog, Ross mentioned that a focus of last week’s company retreat was whether we felt we were satisfying our mission of serving as the long tail of wiki usage. Now before anyone accuses us of abusing multiple buzz phrases in one sentence, I’ll cop to it. Nevertheless, this is a topic I’ve…

Quoth Will Cox: Mr. Charles Dickens never found a word he couldn’t squeeze into a sentence somewhere, eventually finding his point somewhere between the beginning of his artful construction and its punctuation, on a course more meandering than not, but placing the antecedent somewhere towards the end of the sentence, with the prepositions scattered before…

My good friend Jason Smith recently pointed out that a high school buddy just published a book, Back in Action. As it happens, while traveling last week I caught a brief mention of the book on Lou Dobbs’ show on CNN. By all accounts, Captain David Rozelle is someone we should all be incredibly proud…

When we moved the TV from the family room to the basement, the biggest adjustment wasn’t the lack of TV, it was the lack of music. Rather than get a stereo for the bookshelves, we instead got…

A few months ago on a lark I signed up for TiVo Rewards, a referral program that lets you get credit for your friends signing up for TiVo. I posted a few times on the blog about it, and sure enough, a few of you actually listed me as your referral. Result? Last night, I…

Turnout is unsurprisingly low — just 1856 votes cast in the 26 DuPage precincts in Aurora (about 7% turnout). Kane and Will County results are also starting to come in.…

This site appears to be the unofficial results for today’s election in Aurora. Polls close in 40 minutes.

Sweet: Denise today caught that Brandon Rash, a student at my alma mater (Richmond School of Law) has a new blog: the EEJD blog (that’s EE as in “Electrical Engineering” and JD as in “Juris Doctor”). Welcome, Brandon!

My friend Matt Freeman has a website up for his race for Naperville City Council (the election is on April 5). It’s been great to get to know Matt and help him on this race. He’ll be a fantastic addition to the Naperville City Council — be sure to take a look at his site…

Aurora’s primary is today, polls close at 7pm. I’m guessing the top 2 finishers will be Tom Weisner and Richard Irvin. Will post an update when I start seeing returns online. If you live in Aurora (I don’t, I’m next door in Naperville), get out and vote!
