What does it take to communicate with your computer?

I have a degree in Speech Communication and over 25 years of experience since then.  I have been able to communicate successfully with people of all ages, including those who have vastly different beliefs.  I speak English, a little Spanish, a wee bit of ASL and I'm conversational in whining and Gibberish.  What I cannot communicate with is my computer. Computers have a language and a logic all their own!  I'll go into this in more detail later this week, but to give you a background (in order that you might appreciate the conclusions I will draw on Wednesday), I'd like to share with you the Tragic (though comedic) Tale of Techie Trouble with the computer formerly known as Zippy. Zippy is less than two years old.  We bought him when...

On taking the 'God Parts' out

Art of Eloquence is fast approaching the completion of its eighth year in business this November.  It's been a very interesting ride so far.  I've learned a great deal about business, about myself and my faith. When I wrote my first study, Say What You Mean (for Teens), I really wasn't thinking of this as a business or even a ministry. It was simply an answer to a homeschool friend's need for a more comfortable way her shy daughter could learn to communicate more effectively.  It was important to me that the approach to overcoming shyness and strengthening communication skills be fun and reflect the teachings that are so prevalent in God's Word.  I have literally found HUNDREDS of scriptures...

The Power of Words

For almost 8 years I've been talking about the incredible power of speech communication.  Words are powerful things. After all, God spoke the world into existence!  "God said let there be light and there was.  For years I've been telling you about the power of words and now I can show you just how powerful words can be... This sign demonstrates the unbelievable power of words...to forbid dying...at least right there! LOL For more fun with communication, visit Art of Eloquence.com!
