Thanks to my Alma Mater...

... A great lunch meeting with Bob Appis, Class of '88, hosted by Eric Gustafson, Director of Advancement at Ana Maria College in Paxton, MA.

Bob Appis is the owner of a restaurant in Ogunquit, ME called "The Egg & I" and is a traditional stop for many vacationers to the Maine Coast.

Bob's entrepreneurship and love of great motorcycles was fun to experience and I learned a lot from him and the others there.

Thanks Bob and Eric!

CEO Compensation heading off the chart...

via awesome.good.is

...this controversial chart illustrates one way of considering the relationship of CEO salary to the working poor. But is there a correlation? Is each a victim of globalization (If making too much jing can be bad for one's Self/Soul.) What do you think? The source (AFL-CIO) seems dubious in that they have a vested interest in portraying the gap as something which requires amelioration. It is time the oppressed stand up and take leave of the status quo. A thought.

Eye tracking study reveals 12 website tactics

Eye tracking studies have revealed valuable information about how people read and interact with websites. One study, Eyetrack III, published a summary of their eye tracking results for news sites.

While this is just one eye tracking study focused on a particular type of site, I think there are instructive nuggets here for any informational website.

Very useful information! This article is great because it clearly, concisely enumerates the highlights of the actual study in popular langauge practically anyone can understand. Including me, of course!>)
