As a member of the new media I would like to thank the SGIA show management for their recognition of the shift that is occurring in the way people gather news and information. While JimRaffel.com is not listed among the 22 most popular blogs in the world we do a pretty good job reaching those … [Read more...]
65-1: SGIA Live Wednesday Observations
First, some general observations about the show. While screen printing is still a very large part of the SGIA show, you do have to look a bit harder in between all the digital printing booths from the likes of Canon, Epson, HP and more to find screen printing products. I am a new comer to the SGIA … [Read more...]

63-3 GE Live: In Memory Of
I could not even bring myself to write about the day it was yesterday. While I know that is disrespectful to those who lost so much and those who made the ultimate sacrifice I just could not do it.

#61: Get Over Your Measurement Fear
Fear lies clearly in the path of all roads to success. In order to succeed at anything in life one must first get past the fear associated with the task. Think back to the days when you were learning to throw and catch a baseball. Throwing was no real problem was it? No fear there. Now think … [Read more...]
#60: 3 P’s for Measurement Success
When I last had time to write a Golden Nugget, it was about have a passion for what you do (#59). I picked that subject because the release of our ProofPass.com [Virtual] technology has reinvigorated my own passion for what I do. This re-found passion has kept me on the road about 70% of the time … [Read more...]
