This came in an email from Bill Meyer last year and I always search the web to find it (forgetting it's in my inbox). Now it's on the web! As we pick up the training now--and start shooting more--we need to pay a lot of attention to rifle maintenance. Rifles are not things you can use and then leave in the trunk of your car until the next use. There is some heresy going around--some even in shooters...

We are in Putre in Northern Chile and we are making a commercial. There is not much in Putre* other than some streets, some clothes made out of alpaca , shoes made out of alpaca, tiny alpacas made out of alpaca and a restaurant with alpaca chop suey on the menu. (Note: the animal in the picture is llama, not an alpaca; neither of these is a vicuna.) Putre is quite high up in the air, and being high...

Doodoo dododoo, bzzzzz... text comes through. It's from Linda who's busy sunning herself in all inclusive luxury at a resort in Egypt having arrived there yesterday safe and sound. As I sit here and daydream what that must be like I get roused by the wind and rain battering off the window and i watch as one by one the raindrops hit the window and slowly make their way from top to bottom whilst randomly...

One of the best articles that I've read about innovation this week actually had absolutely nothing at all to do with business innovation -- at least on the surface. Hannah Karp of the Wall Street Journal recently took a closer look at When Snowboarders Baffle the Judges . Faced with the prospect of judges that are not always on top of radical new snowboarding techniques, innovative snowboarders like...

With thoughts turning to colder weather and swirls of frost and ice promising an appearance soon, I've been playing around with ideas for rings these past couple of weeks. I'm not great at sizing rings, tending to let them find by themselves which finger they want to fit, often because I've made them primarily for myself in the past and I'm pretty laid-back about such things.

I am compelled to begin with a disclaimer on this one. In full respect to the efforts of the family, friends and educators of my youth, I was a bright enough child; even if the story that follows might lead you to believe otherwise. When I was less than a teen but over the age of 10, I came upon a curious round object in the storage room of my parents' house. It was about the size of a side plate,...
