New Logo Images

Looking for new logo designs. BMG is looking for a unique bull to represent our image going forward. One image is included below as an example

Video Log: Washington --> California

Some Highlights from a summer road trip from Eastern Washington to Seattle to San Francisco, Ca. There is some beautiful country in between those spots, as always the BMG crew wishes there was more time to explore.

Powerful Quote

A member of the BMG team emailed me with the following:

Today, Steve Jobs, resigned from Apple. Probably should be named the "comeback kid of all time" for his efforts to resurrect the company from the ashes to the most valuable tech company.

Of the quotes attributed to him....I like this one the best.

Six years ago, Jobs delivered his only commencement speech -- one that is often cited as the speech of his life. "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life," he told the crowd at Stanford University.

This is at the heart of BMG's mission. BMG wants people to live their lives in unique and powerful ways as does Steve Jobs. If any member of the BMG blog wants to contribute quotes it would be appreciated.

Interesting Idea

GE's Sigma Six is next level management stuff. The term Sigma refers to the amount of deviation from perfection in any given operation.
