Boilers and bagels
I get a regular e-newsletter from George T. Wilkinson, Inc., Energy Efficiency Engineers. This one caught my eye because of the unique way they used a bagel to talk about how they work with this one particular customer. This is marketing at its best. Check out the MassArt video.

Music to my ears!
The composer, Travis M. Ramsey, had asked my permission to use the title of one of my books for this musical piece and I said YES!, of course.
