Glenn Beck Coming to Utah

If you haven't heard the news -- Glenn Beck is coming to Utah -- for the Stadium of Fire - July 4, 2007. I think there may still be a few tickets available, so if you haven't already purchased them, check at BYUTickets.com. Brooks and Dunn are headlining and there are many other great performers, as well as the best fireworks in the West.

Plus I just read a really great article about Glenn Beck and his life after joining the LDS Church. Thought you might enjoy it.

Time Management

I wish there was a way to really learn to manage time more efficiently. I love my Franklin Covey planner. It helps to keep me focused and achieving my goals. But I wish I could find an electronic planner system which would not only allow me to do my work online, but also not risk losing data as my palm pilot has done in the past.

I've considered trying out the new iphone, but have not been impressed with AT&T cell service, so that's the big drawback for me.

Blogging Time and Job Options

Wow. I can't believe it's been so long since I've blogged. I've been extremely busy during the past few weeks -- looking at some different job opportunities and exploring options. I had a 5 hour interview at Omniture and was impressed by the people there. It seems like it would be a great place to work, but I'm not sure the corporate life is one I'm really wanting to go back into. Plus the time commitment would make it impossible for me to do anything else.

I've also been working with another company as the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) and CMO (Chief Marketing Officer). The company is a start-up and is pretty exciting, but I'm not sure that's where I want to be either. I've got the development team together and ready to go, so it should be an easy transition.

I may have the opportunity to work in Alaska which I would love to do, and also have thoughts about going back into the publishing world. I've also considered working in Hawaii -- or just sitting on the beach with my laptop building and marketing new sites. Lots of fun options to think about.

I'm taking the next few weeks off to finish my book, and then I'll look further into my options.

Flouridated Water?

I've been hearing the past few years about the dangers of flouridated water. This past year, I've done quite a bit of research and it's a bit scary that the general public is not given accurate information about flouride. I found a great video on Google Video that sheds some light on the subject, and thought I'd share it with you. Dangers of Flouride

Mitt Romney - Winner of Most Recent Debate

I just watched a clip from Fox News that showed public reaction to the latest Presidential Debate. It clearly shows Mitt Romney as the winner. Check it out.

Mitt Romney - Chances a Mormon will be Elected President

I just read a really great forum article about Mitt Romney and the chance he will have being elected President because he is a Mormon. It's interesting to me that this is even an issue in this day and age. Why do we not hear about the churches that all of the other candidates go to? Or do they go at all?

Anyway, this forum was conducted in Florida for some of the nation's leading journalists. It is the Pew Forum's Biannual Faith Angle Conference -- on religion, politics and public life. This transcript was entitled: Mormonism and Democratic Politics: Are They Compatible? I thought it was a pretty fair assessment and interesting to read.

If you want to read anything about what Mormons believe -- you can get the real information (not the media's interpretation) at Mormon.org.

2007 Stadium of Fire!

Well, the time is getting close for this year's Stadium of Fire -- for the 4th of July. I'm really excited for Brooks & Dunn to come -- and to see what other surprises the producers come up with. I always love the show and hope to get front row seats again -- that's the BEST! :-) I know tickets have been going pretty fast, so if you love Brooks & Dunn, or feeling patriotic, you better get your tickets soon.

Mitt Romney and the Latest Republican Debate

I've been watching a bit of Anderson Cooper with the latest coverage of tonight's Republican debate. I really like how Mitt Romney presents himself -- he is so well-spoken and every time he answers a question I feel like he shows his intelligence. It's refreshing to get his clear answers, rather than listening to some other candidates who just talk around the issues and not really answer the questions at all.

I'm not really all that into politics, so it's interesting to me that these debates have captured my attention. I think Mitt is my favorite, but if Fred Thompson joins the race, I'm not certain. It's hard to know what Thompson stands for since he's only known to me through Law and Order and the character there. I'm sure he'll end up joining the race and that will be interesting to see how things fall from there.
