The Great Global Warming Swindle

Published on March 13, 2007

Got a free hour and fifteen minutes on your hands? If so, I highly encourage you to watch this BBC documentary on the global warming movement religion. OK, I know you’re busy. I would at least encourage you to watch the first eight minutes of this documentary.
Don’t get me wrong, I consider myself an environmentalist. [...]


Using iTunes to build a nuclear weapon. Wait, what?

Published on March 9, 2007

I blogged sometime ago about the problems I’ve had with my iPod booting up. Looks like I’m not the only one who has had this problem. Check out Matt Hickey at TechCrunch give some instruction on how to do major home surgery to an iPod that won’t boot. Pretty cool stuff.
While I’m on one here check [...]


Tracking Success Paths

Published on March 8, 2007

I have always found it interesting that you can track back your success to a single event, thought, decision or introduction in your life. Let me give you some examples from my own life.

I graduated in 2004 and was invited back to teach entrepreneurship at Westminster.
I applied to [...]

I own a business so I’m an entrepreneur…right?

Published on February 12, 2007

I’ve made the case before that the word “entrepreneur” is an abused term misunderstood by most people. I keep coming across people and their blogs who claim to be “entrepreneurs”. In most cases I would beg to differ (but hey, who am I anyway?). I work in a start up and I consult on the [...]


Simplify!

Published on February 8, 2007

About every five to six months I go through the same cycle. It starts with me figuring out that I have overloaded myself to the point of burn out. Then I sit back and make hard decisions on what I need to dump from my life in order to make things more simple and be more effective.

Work, school and the changing dynamics of pay

Published on January 29, 2007

When you were growing up you probably had someone tell you to be a lawyer or a doctor. The idea being that these professions pay well and are stable - which they do and are.
Market demand has created an environment and new economy that is rewarding performers - not just the highly educated. I have a [...]

Published on January 25, 2007

I just completed reading China, Inc. I wasn’t too impressed with the book - I thought it was poorly written (but who am I to criticize another for that). Here are some interesting facts from the book:

China must build urban infrastructure equivalent to Houston’s every month in order to absorb the three hundred million Chinese who [...]
