Last night I was able to redeem a credit I had accumulated as a member at Audible.com. I've been thinking about cancelling my membership, but I recently read a review for the book Outliers: The Story of Success. Although I'm also in the middle of reading another book, I think Outliers may have … [Read more...]
Keys to the Kingdom

I have a confession: Among the mix of hardcore business books, and Harvard Business Review Podcasts I so ravenously devour, I sometimes pick up a podcast from Oprah (stop laughing please). I feel she's a thought leader in spirituality and becoming ones true self. Since I'm all about self … [Read more...]

Day two at Miva, and things are going really well. I've found the coffee, met most of the team in the New York office (if I haven't met you yet, come by!), and found the men's room (very important). Now it's time to get things moving in the right direction as quickly as possible and with as … [Read more...]

Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao This may be a bit too "touchy feely" for some people, but Wayne Dyer is a bright guy, and I love the way he applies the teachings of the Tao to everyday life. I've read the Tao in a few different translations - the teachings … [Read more...]

I've been receiving a lot of email from folks asking about my new header image. The image is actually of me (well sort of). During the Web2.0 Expo in New York there was a really cool "machine" I suppose we'll call it that would capture your image, and then replicate an image of you - only out of … [Read more...]
WordPress VS. Google's Blogger
November 5, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Last week I made the leap from Google's Blogger platform to Wordpress, and I have to say - I'm impressed. It took me a bit longer than I would have liked to transfer all of my posts for the past 2 years to Wordpress, but so far it seems like it's been worth it. The skins in the design portion are … [Read more...]
Hard work doesn't kill you – boredom and disease do

I love to work hard. I love it when there's a project that I'm so excited about that I pop out of bed with a spring in my step. It seems to be less and less common to hear people talking about how they love to work hard. I'm not talking about working 20 hours work days (read: working for face … [Read more...]
3 Ways to Streamline Your Message
October 14, 2008 By 1 Comment
Even though we write more and more. It's ironic that what we tend to write looks more like a vanity plate, than an old fashioned letter. The most powerful messages aren't full sentences at all - think of "I like Ike" When it comes to effective communication - short beats long. Always. … [Read more...]

The title of this post was a tasty little tid-bit of advice from Gary V of winelibrary.tv fame. Gary blasted this perfectly thought provoking comment during his killer key note presentation at the Web2.0Expo in New York. The audience erupted. We were eating out of the palm of his hand. I … [Read more...]
