Visual Trademark - A Blog By CJ Mills

My wife and I are spending the weekend in Indy at the Big Ten tournament. I’m trying to enjoy the game without worrying about spectator injury as I’m insuring the event.

Today I spent the entire morning in an awards ceremony. Because I’m a visual junkey, I was captivated by the graphics and production side of things. They really go all out. At one point, I was reminded of The Office episode where Dwight Schrute gives his acceptance speech and I nearly started [...]

I'm in Orlando for the annual B&B awards meetings. This year, after the awards night, we took a police escort to see Cirque Du Soleil's La Nouba (2nd photo shows one of the CDS people….they had some of the people "showing" us to the transport). Pretty cool show - but it makes for [...]

Today, I had the opportunity to go to the Purdue basketball game with [...]
