I just watched one of the funniest videos I’ve seen on the Internet in years.  Check out TheWebsiteIsDown.com for Web Dude vs. Sales Guy to get an idea of what the hell goes on when you call tech support.  Note there is some fould language and a possibly offensive graphic near the end.  Enjoy!

I feel like I’ve written a lot about legal issues.  Again, I am not a lawyer so when confronted with these issues be sure to consult one.  However, I deal with this stuff so often, I feel compelled to share.  Ultimately, lawyers help us define business terms in a way that protects us from all [...]

Wow.  I completely forgot how much effort writing all the time can be.  That said, I need to manage my time between my day job, my startup and my family better. This week is off to a roaring start on all fronts.  I’m juggling three different initiatives and all have substantial momentum.  I wish I [...]

This is day job stuff, but it’s good advice.  If you are trading documents between a couple parties, it pays to check the document properties.  This can be especially true if one of those parties is unnamed. Today, I was looking through a contract from an agency that would not disclose their partner prior to [...]

So, I’ve loaded up my first campaign and have some early results.  Actually, I loaded it up a few weeks ago and got a little gun shy before pulling the Adwords trigger.  Basically, I was distracted and came back to it.  Interestingly, I’m actually seeing some organic traffic right in my keyword wheelhouse and it’s converting at about [...]

I love Outlook.  It is probably the best thing that’s come out of Redmond.  Now, with Xobni, it’s even better.  Xobni is now in full public beta.  So, even though I have some invites, it appears you don’t have to ask me for one. What’s it do?  Simple, it aggregates all of your messages and [...]

I had an exchange with a colleague of mine today and I thought it was super important to get the message out that you need to communicate differently based on the communication medium. Specifically, I’m talking about the way you approach people and paper.  When we are introduced to people, we tend to think more [...]

I’m a huge fan of multitasking. At any given time I have ten or more programs, windows and widgets open on my desktop. Although desktop virtualization is common to Linux and Mac users, I didn’t realize there was a windows solution available. That is, until I found Dexpot. Dexpot allow you to have up to [...]

I stumbled across Neilsweb.com a little while ago, I liked what I saw and subscribed to Neil Turner’s feed. I’ve been following his progress ever since. Hopefully this review will convince you to do so as well. Neilsweb follows the story of a Canadian college student pursuing an accounting degree who turned aspiring super affiliate. [...]
