Steve Hill is Passionate Enough to Make a Difference

We can all agree that the desire to contribute to some sort of charitable cause is rooted in our innate need for a sense of purpose. Making a difference, serving other, etc., is fueled by passion. That passion is an inspirational force deep within us to do good deeds. Passions and callings are well-understood concepts, but many people have difficulty translating them into tangible and meaningful acts of service. Furthermore [...]

Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend

This even was being put on by Reis-Nicholas Jewelers and was sponsored by the Hilton Hotels, Z99.5, Geoffrey Chandler Videography, and Rupert’s Kids. The event was actually powered by SCVNGR, an application on the iPhone and other smart phones. It’s actually a pretty slick application and allows you to participate in various scavenger hunts in your city. Everything is based on GPS and you are not allowed to check in (or complete the assigned [...]

Remembering 9/11 & Burning the Qur’an

This year marks the 9th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. I don’t find it necessary to go into details – I don’t think there are many people who don’t know what happened on that fateful September day. 2,977 innocent people died in those attacks. I was seven years old, and over 3,000 miles away when the attacks happened, so I don’t feel adequately qualified to comment just how much it impacted on America as a nation. What I would [...]

A Rotten Apple by Michael Miller

Over the weekend I had the chance to catch up with some old friends of mine. They were old buddies from high school and were coming up to Indianapolis to see their family. They had contacted me and asked if I wanted see them for lunch before they went off to their weekend activities. I was more than happy to oblige since it had been years since I had seen them! When we met up we decided to go to Applebee’s since their kids were picky eaters and they knew [...]

The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly by John Cannon

So what does all of this tell us about customer service? The best service is service done right the first time, every time. Customers expect you to try your best to keep us happy. Of course, everyone falls down once in a while, no one is perfect and we don’t expect you to be. However, the real test of a company’s character is how they deal with it when they fall down. Does your company get out of the mud puddle, clean up and make sure it doesn’t happen again? Or does [...]

The Earthquakes in Haiti by Brian Dukes

I’m sure you all know by now that there has been a tragedy in Haiti. A magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck about 6.2 miles below the surface of the earth, the shallower the quake the more devastating the effects, and about 10 miles southwest of the capital city of Port-au-Prince. This quake has completely devastated this country which also is unfortunate to hold the honor of the poorest country located in the Western Hemisphere. As if being poor [...]

Immigration Policy and it’s Effects by Matt Rust

It all started in late 2004 when I first met my wife. We worked together and from the first day that I met her I was instantly attracted to her. She was a beautiful young energetic girl from Mexico. I wasn’t sure how good her English was, but I soon found out that it was above average for someone that wasn’t from here. I decided I just had to ask her out. Some how despite being from two totally different places we really connected. After a month we really [...]

I Love Twitter & Scotty’s Brewhouse by Chris Theisen

Around four year ago (maybe more maybe less but I digress) Scotty’s Brewhouse opened on 96th St. in Indianapolis. Every time I drove by the parking lot was always packed. I had to go check this place out. A few of my co-workers and I headed to Scotty’s on a Monday after work. We had a great time, had some good food and plenty of cold beer. Even though the tab was higher than some of the other places we frequented we enjoyed it enough to return [...]

Neglected Funds from the White House by Brian Dukes

I shall begin this blog by simply saying that, “I want my moon base!” I feel as though as so many other things a moon base has been promised to me, just like a hover board or robot slaves to do my bidding. All kidding aside though, this blog post isn’t for me to go on about all the technology that isn’t available for consumers yet, even though it is 2010 for crying out loud. This particular blog is actually for me to voice my opinion about why [...]
