Did you know that we used to have an office Chihuahua? Her name was Google. Fitting no? She was really cute. But she pooped everywhere. It made the place smell bad. Then she did the unthinkable and bit a kid. In the knee. So we gave her away. And then that person gave her away …
We had a potential office space buyer come into our office the other day and he posed a good question. He asked me if the infrastructure was included in the sale price of the unit. I hadn’t really put a lot of thought into it either way; just the fact that I hadn’t thought about …
Like many of you have probably already done or are in the process of doing I too am in the middle of thinking about my “business goals” for this New Year of 2K11. The funny thing (and this is of course up for interpretation) is that I can’t really think of anything crazy that I …
Ahhhhhh, so the title really does say it all. I encountered some big blog bumps in the road my friends. My real life essentially got in the way of my blog life. It happens. I know. I’ve talked to others about it and apparently this is a very natural and normal occurrence. Of course I …

Basically, you could draw something with your mouse according to the posted theme and if your drawing was selected you would win $55. It failed. Miserably. F.A.I.L. The only drawings that were ever submitted were drawings …

I’ve written three blog posts, so I am therefore calling myself a ‘mega blogger’ now. I count entitlement as a great quality to have. Not at …
Well so far I have no fans at all not a #1 or a #2, but that’s ok. I’m not going to let my narcissism get in the way of my goals – again. Not really sure what I should talk about today, but let’s go with the iPad. Normally, I hate Apple. I think …
So most people have New Year’s resolutions where they commit to losing weight and giving up vices such as drugs, smoking and the Internets and just generally improving their life.
