May 11, 2014 What My Mother Meant to Me – The Original Building a Better Dave
When I was 24, my mother passed away from her second (well technically third) heart attack. It was April 27, 1989. It had been 6 years since she had passed. As someone who talks in public for a living (teaching technology) it didn’t seem like a stretch to take two of my passions (teaching and […]

December 22, 2013 Greedy Santa
I was very surprised when I went to the mall and saw there was no line to sit with Santa. Santa looked pretty good (probably an out of work financial consultant), and I thought "Let's get our picture taken." It would be interesting to see how things have changed since you sat on his lap and had a polaroid taken. We asked, not the elf, but some college kid (or Santa has put into place "business casual" as the new dress code). We were told, "Here are the packages." Packages? I just need a picture.

What a lovely greedy con job that if they wanted to they could make $166 an hour, BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH. Before we can make $166 an hour ($9.73 profit on a 5 minute CD) you need to spend $20 on a "Package." That means Santa Will be making $357 an hour. Well here is what I say to you.

SCREW YOU SANTA!

SCREW YOU AND THE REINDEER YOU FLEW IN ON!

September 28, 2013 Nothing Personal
Today I talk about how I keep having people in my life including my family, friends, and finally a church group keep telling me, “It’s not personal, but we don’t want to work with you.” I’m trying to understand what I’ve done. I’ve always thought I was a pretty nice guy. I’ve got a good […]
