Warren Buffett Rock Out
This is too funny and Warren Buffett is too cool. Click here to see why. And kudos to Geico for being so creative in their new ad campaign. Warren Buffett does Axl Rose. What a concept.
Great Blog Post
I stumbled upon this lessons learned post…and found it spot on and very insightful.
I am concerned that Snagfilms uses Flash and doesn’t yet work on the Iphone or the IPod. We have work to do.
For traditional media companies here is the 15 lessons learned. Here is a clarion call to wake up and smell the coffee. This is a great article. I am impressed. Click here to be enlightened.
Numbers Speak for Themselves
Alex has the stats and the numbers to claim his third consecutive MVP.
He is now our Captain.
Our team leads the NHL in points.
And most offensive oriented categories.
He has the best plus/minus rating in the NHL and the Capitals have the best goals scored differential in the NHL as well.
But Alex has told me that all he wants to win now is a shared goal and trophy and that is the Stanley Cup. Individual awards are wonderful but the collective sharing of a trophy with his team mates and the community is what he is all about now.
Alex Ovechkin is a once in a generation player, he is gifted and special. We have built as promised a wonderfully productive and talented team around him.
It is the best of times. Enjoy it and know that Alex is about team not about numbers. I believe he is worthy of consideration for yet another MVP Award and am appreciative of this straight forward Washington Post article. Click here to read it today. Go Caps.
Happy Birthday Twitter
Twitter is four years old. Fifty million Tweets per day. See this article.
Here are my favorites Tweets from a friend:
” I am up”
“Jumping into the shower”
” Juice and toast”
” Shirt and tie today”
“Stuck in traffic”
” Boring phone call”
“Meetings and more meetings”
” Working late”
” Pizza”
And on and on.
Thank you Twitter…I think. 
Paperback Dreams
Here is a great little film about your neighborhood and the importance of your local bookseller.
High ideas at low cost. A passion for books.
As I have done multiple local book signings for my book, The Business of Happiness, I have made sure to support local booksellers. They need our support.
Read. Mingle with your neighbors. Support your local bookseller. They deserve it.
Proud of Our Coaching Staff
Our coaching staff has been doing a great job in keeping our team working hard; being focused on goals; and playing terrific and productive hockey.
We have won our division and are up 33 points over our nearest division competitor with 10 games left to play.We lead the Eastern Conference by 16 points with 10 games left to play.
We lead the 8th place team in the Eastern Conference by 32 points. If the season ended today we would play Boston in the first round of the playoffs.
We lead Chicago by 9 points for most points in NHL although they have one game in hand.
We just completed a tough week road trip - four games in seven days - and we were successful and gained ground in the standings.
We now get to take a couple of days to heal up and get ready for the last sprint to the end of the season.
It was wonderful to see Alex Ovechkin back on the ice. It was great to see the depth we have created for the team settling in as injuries are starting to mount up and we won’t miss a beat.
We know the regular season has been quite successful for us. We are glad to be productive. We also know that the playoffs start an entirely new season and that it is infrequent that the team that wins the President’s Trophy wins the Stanley Cup. But at the same time, we can’t take our foot off the gas pedal. We need to play great hockey for the last ten games of the season. Whatever happens will happen. Wish us good fortune, good health and good luck. Rest up. Waste not want not. Go Caps!
