I love what the company CommonCraft does with their videos. Their montra is “Our Product is Explanation” and they do it well! Based on their website, they have three-minute videos that help educators and influencers  introduce complex subjects.

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch gave a lecture on Time Management at the University of Virginia. I don’t know about you. But instead of the lecture being over 1 hour and 15 minuted.

On April 25, 2009 I will celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary! When I tell people I have been married for “almost 10 years” they look at my with wonder. Why? How? People think I am “young”. It is rare to see a “young” person married for such a long time. It is true. Our marriage [...]
