The decade that past

My dad always says that the decades seem to go by with every blink of an eye. We don’t get many decades in life so it’s important to take stock of each one that goes by. My last decade? – Wrapped up a brutal engineering degree at McMaster University – Ended one of the cushiest [...]

The pack is separating…

I’m sure you feel it too. Back when we were all in school the divide didn’t seem so vast. We thought we were cut from the same cloth.

Grasshopper.com did a great job with their recent marketing campaign using social media. They created the above video, while a bit cliche, I thought it was nicely done. The video works because its message rings true of the human spirit. We’re all summoned to create, risk, lead, and change, at least in some area in [...]
