Working from home can also be frustrating
Yeah, I’m having one of “those” days… Earlier this week, I got wind of something that really tripped my trigger. I didn’t bother to read the whole e-mail as I knew they guy who sent it to me was really on top of things. ...
So, how do you like the new look?
I think this is look I’ve wanted for some time. But you, the reader will tell me what you think of it. To help things a long, I have one 125×125 spot on the left sidebar that I’ll award to a random commenter on 12/12/08. I’ve a...

Whoa! I nearly got blindsided by my own actions…
Yeah, looking back at my last four posts (three weeks time), it appears I’ve been obsessed with Entrecard. Well, yes… I have, but now I’m over it and ready to move forward. No, I’m not leaving Entrecard, I’m simply worki...
