You know, blogging is bigger than ever these days. Everyone knows what a blog is. It’s happening. It’s big and it’s set to grow even bigger. But here’s even better news…people can get fired for blogging! Shocked? Don’t be. Usually it happens when you are working for some company (hence, you are an employee) and [...]

I loved this piece. It was sent to me by a good friend, James. Once in a while, I need this kind of heartwarming inspiration. Thank you James! Read on… This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005 [...]

I don’t know about others but I do my best thinking (and get the strangest ideas) when I am alone, in the mornings, in my bathroom. I can be taking a shower and suddenly this hot, new idea pops into my head. Or I can be washing my face, shampooing my hair or staring at [...]
