I keep hearing this term lately, "Economic Correction", and all I can think is that it doesn’t matter how much honey you spread on liver – it’s still going to taste pretty bad. All jokes aside, a true CEO would celebrate a recession as a time of opportunity, not as a time to roll over [...]

Less, Part 3: The E-mail Diet
I had been using Eudora for my e-mail for a very long time, as it was handed out as part of the computing package at my school, Cornell University. And then a disaster happened: while my mailboxes were compressing, I got an end-of-file error, thereby losing about half of the e-mails in my inbox. I [...]

Less, Part 2: Noise
I dropped the ads from my site.
In the end, it had nothing to do with the aesthetics or the influence, but with clarity. I simply felt the ads were distracting me from my true, internal reasons for having this site, and I couldn’t let that happen. The ads were removed, my purpose for this site [...]

I’m Getting Closer!
For most people, purchasing a template for your site saves money through reducing programming and graphic arts costs.

Bad Habits
I’ve been going through a lot of life changes recently, and this state of flux has created some bad habits for me. I get like this when my life gets too busy or I have a lot of projects going on that are particularly draining.
So what do you do when this happens? I’ve basically come [...]

A True "Lifestyle Business"
I started this post on February 19th. That’s right—nearly a month ago. The irony in that is that the very things I was talking about, such as focusing on your life plan and having a lifestyle business, happened to me. My daughter, the light of my life, got a serious respiratory illness and I had [...]
