Collegiate Shag through changing times
Tony and Shannon performing a collegiate shag routine I have this passion for a rare form of swing dancing called Collegiate Shag. I sincerely think I may be one of the few who truly appreciate this dance right down to my core. What’s it like to have such a passion? Well, it’s wonderful and rough at the same time. It’s wonderful that there are a select few others out there that share my passion. We sort of clump together here in... [Read More...]
Frankie Manning
Frankie, I can’t even begin to say how sad it is to hear that you are not with us anymore. You’re the founder of all swing dancing, the aerialists that I’ve studied the most, and just about the single biggest role model for two entire generations of swing dancers. (both in the 40′s and in current.) And to top it all off, you’re just a nice, normal and humble guy. Rest in peace, and it’s an honor to have met you,... [Read More...]

It was a good resume, it showed a bunch of senior exec leadership, and a history of close to two decades worth of technology industry experience. Because of that last search and those last posted resumes, I am now bombarded with a daily list of at least half a dozen offers... [Read More...]

Welcome to our new website!
Yes, I finally scrapped the old site and went to WordPress. It’s easier to blog and easier to work with. Most importantly, because all the side projects are keeping me from my kids, I thought “why not just let wordpress handle my own website?” I did want to launch a flash site last year but it just never quite seemed to come about. It also wasn’t the sort of design I wanted to represent my work on the web. It’s... [Read More...]
