is that good?
This has always puzzled me… Why do people tell you the price first when they are excited about something they’ve bought? And when they do tell you the price, how often do you answer with “Is that good?”
I suppose this is where the idea of “sale” first originated as no one could tell whether $80 […]
“old” means “less”
Special K is spending money. They are running a campaign promoting the Special K 4 Week Challenge. One would assume that this challenge has rules, tips, competition (with either myself or with others) and any other resources that would help me complete the challenge.
Volvo is spending money - and giving some away as well. They […]
the universe
Here is your box. Notice the dimensions. Please place your thoughts within the box. This is THE UNIVERSE in which you will operate. The failure rate grows with each deviation from the center. The letters after your name will dictate how closely you can approach the edges. You are not the first person to inquire […]
potential
Everyone has an idea, or at least the ability to generate an idea. You can’t help but walk around for a day and hear the genius of people as they candidly throw ideas that could have a tremendous impact on the world around them. We log these ideas in our memories and if we ever […]

i hate you, but don’t leave
I’m a smoker - it’s a conundrum.
I don’t smoke that often, but in truth, I do enjoy a cigarette on a sunny afternoon. It’s as social to me as a beer is to others. The conundrum comes from my desire to live a long and healthy life.
I’ve quit before. 4 months here, 2 months there, […]
everybody has a top 10
I’m no different in that regard. Check out my inspired take on entrepreneurship.
i = x
I’m on the brink of bringing some clarity to the direction of this blog. Seth Godin made a great point recently about describing yourself in too many ways. I tend to agree with him but that doesn’t mean it’s any less demoralizing to anwer the question “So, what do you do?” with a one-dimensional answer. […]
who’s keeping score?
I watched my poor Toronto Raptors embarrass themselves again on Sunday against the hated New Jersey Nets. By the third quarter the Nets were up by 30 points and the game was clearly over.
It was then that my friend Aaron commented on how they weren’t showing the score on the TV screen as they’d been […]
