I don’t often cover tools for parents and families, but I ran across a service that wowed me so much that I immediately called my sister to perhaps help my two young nephews. So I figure that even if you don’t have school-age kids, you probably know someone who does. PLUS… I’m doing this post to help out the manager …

Everyone loves the drag-and-drop, template-rich graphic tool called Canva. But it handles images, not video. Yesterday I discovered a new video editor that has the same types of tools, and you’re gonna (mostly) love it. You know all those cool recipe and news videos you see all over social media?

The laptop ban. Oh how that worries me. I actually treasure the time I spend working on a plane. It’s uninterrupted blocks of time that let me finish up presentations, develop new content, catch up with emails (offline so that I don’t receive immediate replies and I can clear out my inbox) and just have clear thinking time without my …
In 1996 my sister and I spent 6 months working our way around the country (the picture is from Ames, Iowa in May 1996 or thereabouts).
