Yet Another 11 Little Secrets

April 6, 2010

Every time I see or hear the number 11, I think Spinal Tap. So when I saw Chris Penn’s post 11 Little Secrets, my mind of course flashed to that scene.
As it turns out, Penn’s post had nothing to do with Spinal Tap, other than perhaps a subliminal message. Instead, the article was about how [...]

Hello World: Eva Claire Waldow

March 28, 2010

She’s here.
Eva Claire Waldow entered the world on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 at 11:30pm MT. She weighed in at exactly 7 pounds and stretched out to 20 1/2 inches. She cute, adorable, beautiful, warm, cuddly, tiny, strong, fabulous, and life-changing. I could go on and on. That’s what new dad’s are supposed to do, right?
I [...]

Dude

March 22, 2010

Without a doubt, dude is one of my favorite words. In fact, as I’ve written about before, it’s one of my top 4 go-to words (along with awesome, pumped and love).

Warren Waldow: My Funny, Creative, Cool Father

March 18, 2010

My dad’s name is Warren. Yeah. That’s Warren Waldow or Dr. Waldow or Warren Waldow, Jr. I thank him a few times a year for not naming me Warren. I like the name, but think about it. I would have been WWIII. Not the best name to have growing up. Believe me, I struggled enough [...]

What Customer Service Can Learn From Vanilla Ice

March 10, 2010

I’m a karaoke fan. I admit it. Not a borderline junkie like my 801 friends Krista and Tim Parry or Deb Henry, but I’m not afraid to get up on stage and do my best rendition of Baby Got Back or Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) … which Kristina and I did sing on [...]

Nerds, Dorks, Geeks, and Cool Dudes

March 3, 2010

When I was in college (Go Blue!), I lived in a house with all dudes – 7 guys from all over the country. My buddy Pat used to tell people that we were just a bunch of dorks. Dorks? I’d refute Pat’s claim that we were dorks. I told him not to include me in [...]

Life Without Twitter

February 22, 2010

I spend a lot of time on Twitter.
Sometimes I’m on Twitter for purely professional reasons; other times, it’s all personal. Often – intentionally – the line between work and play blur (I think this is a good thing, but that’s for another post).
Kristina gives me a hard time for the amount of time I spend [...]

There’s No Such Thing As Perfection

February 16, 2010

I’m a perfectionist.
I’m also an idealist. Yet, as I rapidly approach my 34th birthday (one week from today – Feb 23 -  accepting gifts) and nearing they day that Baby Waldow arrives (March 28 – also accepting gifts), I’m becoming less of a perfectionist and more of a realist.
What Is Perfection?
That’s the real question. Is [...]
