One of my first executive orders was to impose a moratorium on any new federal government hiring. That got the “Incredible Shrinking Government” meal simmering. Veto stamps branded into any Congressional salary increase proposal added a certain singed aroma.”

“A businessman is someone who buys at ten and is happy to get out at twelve. The other kind of man buys at ten, sees it rise to eighteen and does nothing. He is waiting for it to get to twenty. The beauty of numbers. When it drops to ten again he waits for it to get back to eighteen. When it drops to two he waits for it to get back to ten. Well, it gets back there. But he has wasted a quarter of his life. And all he's got out of his money is a little mathematical excitement.”

“The symptoms of a writer who hasn’t found their way clear of the needs of Self yet are easy to spot. I should say the symptoms are easy for everyone else to spot, that is, and not so easy for the writer themself to see. You’ll see a writer who does not trust the characters to speak and move on their own, but has to puppeteer them; a writer who does not trust the reader to understand what’s written. One who must insert parentheticals in various forms to explain the work to the reader; flashbacks to explain; big black blocks of text on the page to explain; question-and-answer dialog between characters who aren’t in a courtroom; walk-and-talk characters with their mouths full of dialog of what the story is about; too many stage directions that make the script read like a novel…”

“I believe the technology industry is going in a different direction in which one may think about the Metaverse. Why spend trillions of dollars on big data when big data is becoming more useless? We need dynamic content to create a boom in the tech industry for the next millennium. Why hire someone with a 4 year degree in college for a career in database administration when companies can't afford to pay 100k a year? We can manage that quite fine in Google sheets or excel. The creation of AI would then completely defeat the purpose of data as a service when a program can dynamically build meta searcheable objects in random access memory and store them Inna virtualized file container ;)." - Jonathan Roy Mckinney”

“Practical, concise, and rooted in Scripture. These are the words that come
to my mind as I read Tony’s book, Beyond Sunday Morning. Tony has a
way of packing a punch within these brief chapters while, at the same
time, driving you to truly contemplate the point he is making within each
one. This is a book that will challenge the average congregant within the
church to truly consider the difference Christ is making within their lives
and within the workplace God has them in. Everyone can benefit from
Beyond Sunday Morning.”

“Reading the romantics suggests just that… a romantic spirit. It’s entirely possible for a person to be both romantic in spirit and practical of mind. To exist, one without the other, leaves for a colorless soul.”
