Yesterday was my birthday. It wasn’t a milestone- not 30, not 40 and definitely not 50. And it wasn’t on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday so it’s not like I could really enjoy the day with family since I had to work. I got in to work and already had...
IDEAS has, over 10+ years, made deep connections in our community. I love the fact that as I write this, Shirley Decker is hosting a meeting of the WMFE development committee in our StoryLab where yesterday, our CEO Phil Ruggieri chaired a meeting for Florida Special Olympics and tonight I’ll be in...
Today, Ray Bradbury is 91 years old and he remains one of the people who has most profoundly influenced me. When I was a shy and admittedly geeky 4th grader with a bookish penchant, Mrs. Bixler suggested I read Martian Chronicles. Something in me was changed forever and I never...

For those who aren't following at home, July 1, 2011 will mark the 10th Anniversary for IDEAS. As we look back over the next few weeks, I thought it might be fun to look at a project or two that we were working on during each year of our existence. We’ll...
In 1968, I got received two gifts for an otherwise awkward 14th birthday. One was a well preserved late 40s vintage Argus C3 35mm view camera. Not even a single lens reflex style, this old camera was a simple viewfinder and one fixed 50mm lens. My dad won it in...
I am an admitted space geek. Yeah yeah, you SAY you are too but let me set the bar for you. When I was a kid we lived in California. During the early Mercury and Gemini launches, I was allowed to stay home from school. I got up at 3:00...
