Thinking Big
Ben points us to an upcoming study that says tall ceilings encourage big thinking. Interesting from both an architectural point of view as well as a business point of view.
Back to School
Being a dad of two young boys, Sunday mornings are never available for watching TV. Pre-kids, one of my favorite programs was Small Business School on PBS. It currently airs in the New York City region on NJN, Sunday mornings at 7. Lucky for me though, I can still get my weekly fix online at […]
Charlotte’s Calling
Thinking about a move to the Charlotte area? Both my brothers moved from New Jersey to the Lake Norman area about 10 years ago.

This month’s Practice column, by Cheryl Weber (another one of my favorites), is about savvy architects investing long-term by owning their buildings. The advantages of owning real estate are plentiful. Here are five reasons to start […]
Beyond Your Website
I enjoyed participating as a panelist today, discussing How Businesses Can Use “New Media” to Grow. The event was coordinated by the Westchester County Association. Nancy Shenker, founder and President of The ON Switch, did a superb job as moderator. My fellow panelists, both much more knowledgeable of the subject than I, were Lena West, […]
