This is the most important blog post I’m going to write, so pay attention closely.  It’s the end of the year and naturally we all look back to assess where we’ve been and how we’ve done.  Part of that ritual is to create New Year’s resolutions that will guide us to improve ourselves.  I did [...]

Not far from Copper Conferencing’s office in Broomfield, Colorado, are several farming communities.  I recently found myself in and around Longmont, Colorado and several farms in the area.  When one lives in suburbia or with close access to the conveniences of a large population center, one tends to forget that a very large portion of [...]

I’m not a big winter person. I don’t like being cold and I don’t like putting on layers of clothes. I don’t think I’m alone in that regard. That’s why Florida is filling up with people from cold places like Minnesota and Wisconsin. Although spring and summer can be very pleasant, [...]
