TommyLog – Wayne the Font Guy!

Hey kids it’s dad, and for today’s Tommy log I want to introduce you to my friend Wayne. Wayne is a tech guy with a company named Heidelberg. At work we have a lot of Heidelberg equipment. Wayne is helping us integrate some new features into our printing press. In talking with Wayne I found out that he has a rather amazing background. His background is in typefaces and fonts.

We instantly hit it off talking about the old days of Macintosh and pre-Macintosh days of typesetting and fonts and all types of early printing technology. The stuff that Wayne told me was just amazing. I knew I had to do a video with him and learn from his font expertise. You never know what you’re going to learn from people around you.

TommyLog TECH – Setting Up Could Not Be Easier – NETGEAR ReadyNAS 214

[Disclaimer: I am a NETGEAR Ambassador and I received this product in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion and review]

Hey kids, for today’s TommyLog Tech I want to show you how easy it is to get up and running with the new NETGEAR ReadyNAS 214.

When I opened the ReadyNAS 214, I said to myself “Tommy – Do you think you can get this running and serving files in less than 10 minutes?” Well I wasn’t sure. Did I have to load firmware, install drives, format, partition, and update drivers? No, no, no, no and DOUBLE NO!
Power, network and Go! It’s really that easy. Take a look for yourself how simple getting the ReadyNAS 214 to share files really is. NETGEAR made it so easy, even my 8-year-old daughter Emma could do it. Honestly.

Getting the ReadyNAS 214 set-up and running in less than 10 minutes is totally Tommy Approved!

TommyLog – The Power of Communication

Hey Kids it’s dad, and for today’s Tommy log I want to talk about communication. I feel the communication is the key to all success is, or in turn failures in this world. When things are going well you communicate. When things are not going well, you stop communicating.

Look around you look at some of your successes and your failures and I’d be willing to bet they lead to communication.

TommyLog – Pushing Boundries

Hey Kids it’s dad, and for today’s TommyLog I want to talk about pushing boundaries. I think it’s human nature to stay in your comfort zone, but in order for you to make advances in life, you have to push boundaries.

Look at Tommy, Madeline, and Clara. Look at what they been able to accomplish. Tommy took minutes off his time in cross country. Clara pushed herself out of her comfort zone and learned to dance and became a state and national champion. Madeline is an assistant manager at a Culvers. Emma and Drew each day push themselves out of their comfort zones at school and at play.

A muscle never used never get stronger. We need to push ourselves out of her comfort zone to become better. We need to push boundaries.

Just remember kids, if it was so easy everybody would be doing it.

I love you.
