I was reading this post this morning by Seth Godin wherein he talks about wearing more than one hat. I have been thinking a lot about this recently for myself personally, particularly around the idea of an entrepreneur being only an entrepreneur. Can you be both an employee and an entrepreneur? Or does it have […]

Porting your mobile voicemail to Google Voice
Google released a new feature for Google Voice wherein you can now forward your mobile phone voicemail to Google Voice. Google Voice is a service that allows you to have a phone number “in the cloud” ( to use an over-hyped buzzword ) that you can then control all of your inbound and outbound call […]
My initial review of Google Wave
I have been using Wave for the last couple days, mainly for doing project and task planning with our offshore developers. I have also used it just to goof around and generally insult others that are on Wave as well, all in good fun. Here are my thoughts so far: Good: The real time editing […]
Read ‘Free’ for free
I just got done reading Free by Chris Anderson. I got my copy for free from Michael Hyatt at Thomas Nelson for posting on his blog about why I wanted to read the book. I am going to do the same thing to continue on with the experiment. Post a comment and tell me why […]
Money or Happiness ( Or Both )
I ran across this interesting graph in another article I was reading this morning. The theory behind the graph is that money and happiness are inversely related.

I have been following the story regarding Rush Limbaugh and his pursuit of buying an NFL franchise, the St Louis Rams. Rush was approached by the owner of the St Louis Blues and asked if he would be interested in buying the Rams. The reaction from both other owners and the NFL brass was less […]
“Now I’m Just A Manager”
I played tennis on Sunday with a guy that works in the server hardware group over at IBM. We were in between games, and chatting about our respective careers. When I asked him what he did for IBM, he said “I am an engineer by trade, but now I’m just a manager.” This is one […]
Idol worship?
It’s not popular ( or maybe it is ) to disagree with Mark Driscoll, the high-flying pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA. He has become the spokesman for a new generation of Christians and holds tremendous sway within the Christian community. I recently watched a segment on ABC News Nightline where Mark was […]
