Too Clever for Business? 2008-06-05 11:20:55 Yesterday, I was handed a business card. This isn’t unusual. In fact, I get them all the time, which may be what made this one stand out so much.

Bigger Monitors More Productive? 2008-06-01 17:48:52 I keep reading that people with bigger monitors are more productive than those without. Recently, I went from a 15″ LCD to a 22″ Widescreen LCD. I have to admit, when I first put it up on my desk it seemed HUGE. I mean, ridiculous, as in, “What did I just waste my money on?” [...] Read more:Monitors
5 Ways to Create a Media Kit - For the Brain Dead 2008-05-15 23:05:44 Here is why I do business consulting and business coaching. I get an email today from Microsoft.

Here Comes the CPA 2008-05-13 19:07:21 If I can pass rigorous tests without the help of instructor led training because I learn so well from books, maybe I can pass the CPA exams. Plenty of study guides are out there, and accounting isn't exactly a secret. Is having CPA on my letterhead worth it?

Faking Urgency 2008-05-04 22:47:05 Throughout most of my life, I have been a procrastinator. In some cases this has been very much to my detriment. However, often, my other abilities have been able to pull me through to success when it really counted. Still, to those around me the length of time it takes me to complete certain things [...] Read more:Urgency
Dont Save the Good Stuff 2008-05-02 12:48:52 I’ve started to come across more and more people on the Internet who also have their own sites. A lot of times they will ask me to check out their site and tell them what I think. Then, before I say (type) anything, they throw in, “I’m still building it though, so I [...]

s. A Serial Entrepreneur is someone who starts up a business, gets is going, sells it, or lets it run on auto-pilot and then starts a new business. I recently quit working for the man, and when I did I started a freelance writing business. [...] Read more:Explosive

Denial and Windows Live Writer 2008-06-24 11:47:53 Here is a good lesson for business owners and management. Do not pretend that you don’t know what is going on in the business world. It only makes you look like a fool.
There was an episode of the West Wing in which the staff insist the President not use his opponent’s name because it gives [...] Read more:Denial

Giving Credit Where No Credit Is Due 2008-07-11 15:11:08 Wired magazine had a glowing review of Apple CEO Steve Jobs, but I think today we've shown it as an example of what not to do. Read more:Giving
The Glary Utilities Convergence 2008-07-31 08:24:43 If a tree falls in the forest, and a bunch of websites all post about it, was there a bunch of overlap? Several of my usual websites all posted about GlaryUtilities
within a few days of each other, seemingly for no reason. A quick examination. Read more:Convergence
Ratings Systems Flaws 2008-07-20 17:07:23 If only the people who see a movie rate it, can it be widely assumed that all ratings are too high due to the bias of the people who choose to see a movie based on its content and starring actors? Read more:Ratings

Email Feature That Is Badly Needed 2008-08-07 17:48:01 Sometimes as I go through my day, I stumble across things that seem so OBVIOUS to me that I have trouble understanding why it is even an issue.
Today’s version comes courtesy of every single email client I use, which includes most of the big names, and a couple of the small names. Now, every [...] Read more:Email
Want My Phone Business? Give Me One Feature 2008-08-30 17:25:21 It seems that every two weeks or so, I get a little mailing from Qwest asking me to change my phone service over to them (back to them actually). I used to get the same mailing on roughly the same interval from Comcast when my phone service was with Qwest. I changed recently because my [...] Read more:Business
Merchandising Morons 2008-10-15 21:21:04 Ok, I am not one of those guys who is against cartoon characters, or who feels that corporations are destroying our children by targeting toys and commercials at them, and I’m not someone who rails against “consumerism,” but, stupid is stupid.
I’m looking (online) through the clearance section of toys at a major big box [...]
Minimum Feed Reader Requirements 2008-10-23 17:45:24 If you are going to have a feed reader, you MUST have a NEXT ITEM button. Today, I decided that I would abandon my initial feed reader, Google Reader

Features Your Shopping Site Must Have 2008-10-21 09:31:54 Seriously, if you are going to have a website for shopping, then you MUST have a feature that allows me to customize how many items are displayed at a time.
