Blog postI was a professional musician (I guess I still am) before taking on computers and the Internet as the main focus of my business career. I love listening, studying and playing different music genres.

Blog post“We need to leave the city immediately, it is getting too dangerous around here” he whispered to his wife.
“Are you out of your mind? Our entire family surrounds us, our kids, my parents, and brothers and sisters. We have a successful business and an established life here. I am not leaving!” she exclaimed.

Blog postA client of mine called, panic-stricken, reporting that his email account was hacked and the invoice he recently emailed one of his clients was resubmitted to the client (by the hacker) and the money (tens of thousands of dollars) as the payment for his invoice was wired to an offshore bank account.
I advised my client to immediately contact the police, FBI, his bank and his client as well as change all his passwords.
How can this happen? Several possibilities exist, and I sus -
Blog postThis weekend we will travel to Columbus to share in the installation of our son-in-law, Rabbi Hillel Skolnik, as the senior clergy of a large congregation. At 36, this is quite a lofty achievement, though he has spent his entire life in the service of his faith and the congregants whom he leads.
We’ve been asked to share a few words this weekend about him which, while I thought would be easy, seems to be harder than expected. He has inspired and motivated so many, including me and Lau -

Blog postPhoto by: Chad Barr One of my favorite words is instantiation or to instantiate. Its meaning is to make the complex simple. My opinion is that we are all guilty (self included) at creating too much complexity in our life and business. Occam’s Razor theory suggests that of any set of explanations for an event occurring, it is most likely that the simplest one is the correct one.
