Risk as a downhill ski run, Bode Miller style

February 22, 2010

I was reading my Wall Street Journal today, page after page of blah, blah, blah and then I came across this story on page B8. It stopped me dead in my tracks.

I am not following the Winter Olympic Games nor am I really a fan of Bode Miller. I didn’t even read the article, but [...]

My.Alltop.com is like looking through the world through a paper tube

March 19, 2009

I’m a bit torn on whether or not I like the new my.alltop.com feature. On the one hand, it saves me from hunting through the various topics at Alltop.com, trying to find the best blogs. I can gather all of the “must read” blogs on one page and then go through and read the new [...]

I love Groundhog’s Day. It is a silly holiday that you can just hype up and people giggle at.

Got me thinking about all sorts [...]

Half the failure Guy is

November 10, 2008

My dream is to become only half the failure Guy Kawasaki is!

I still have not written the two books banging around in my head. But, I figure if I blog almost every day, that kinda counts?
Love that “big pile of nothing.” To misquote Emily Dickinson very badly, “I’d rather be sitting on my own big pile of [...]

Being authentic

October 12, 2008

Guy included me in his Alltop magazine rack early on in the site life (pets.alltop.com) and I’ve been a fan since. Actually, I have always been a fan of Guy. When Neenz sent a Facebook message to the Alltop group about getting some cool Alltop stickers, I was there. Sent my mailing address in and [...]
