It’s time for an airline passengers bill of rights!

Published on February 15, 2007

It’s happened again. This time passengers were trapped on JetBlue flights out of New York for 10 hours with no food and limited bathroom use. A similar incident several months ago prompted passengers to create a petition for an airline passengers bill of rights. It’s way overdue. The airlines are getting away with murder and it’s [...]


I have a patent question - can you help?

Published on February 13, 2007

I am doing some research on a company and came across a “Patent Pending” notice on their Web site. How do I uncover information on this patent pending? Is there a useful Web site out there? Where is the best place to go without using an attorney?
Thanks in advance!


Global warming crowd goes loony for Valentines Day

I grew up in Oregon and got plenty of environmental indoctrination in high school. I believe we need to do our part to protect the environment. I believe in recycling. I think deforestation is a bad thing. I’m concerned about pollution.
But the global warming rhetoric has reached an absurd level.
Environmentalist are now taking aim at Valentines [...]


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 [...]

Published on February 9, 2007

The January/February issue of Launch is now available. It’s a great issue except there are too many quotes from some dude named Chris Knudsen. They need to ban him for a couple of issues.  


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.
I [...]


Using Linkedin Answers

Published on February 7, 2007

I want to put in a plug for the new Linkedin Answers service. Answers works by allowing you to pose questions to your network. Hopefully someone in your network has the answer to your question. I used the service last night. At about 10 pm I asked my network if anyone knows who American Expresses [...]

Three things that really irk me

Published on

I’ve been sitting around all day trying to figure out why my hair is falling out at an astronomical rate. I think its because I’m sick and tired of all the crap in the world. I’m in a mood to pick a fight so sorry in advance if I offend you.
SEO is not about computer programming 
I sat [...]
