When I saw a picture of Honda’s CR-Z hybrid concept something about it really got my juices flowing. I think it is my age, but I just don’t get as excited about new models as I once did. But there was something different about the CR-Z, like it was an old firend that I once new… I think it is the striking modernized resemblance to the CR-X. It is like the CR-X has been reincarnated. Welcome home, old friend!

Failure: The Secret to Success - A Honda "Dream the Impossible" Film

It is spring break at GTCC, where I teach and I am slogging away at my book project. This  has been over a two year project that is wearing me down, but I am determined not to quit. I will see this through and the Digital Literacy Project will make a difference!

Over the past I have built many web sites and started two podcasts. I have probably spent well over 1000 hours doing this with some fairly significant out of pocket expenses. You would have to say, up to this point, that my online projects have been failures; however, I am looking at it as a big learning experience.

This morning I came across the documentary “Failure – The Secret to Success” which is part of Honda’s “Dream the Impossible” series. I needed the message. It reminded my that out of failure comes new knowledge that will help you be successful.
