The mythical work/life balance

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

I’ve spent the last few months (maybe years) trying to figure out how I could best please everyone in my life. I’ve read blogs, books, magazine articles here and there but it just doesn’t seem to add up. You just can’t have everything at once and, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t [...]

Guy Kawasaki recently put up a post asking if business plans are really necessary and it definitely deserves a read if you’re even considering heading down the path of entrepreneurship. He cites a recent Wall Street Journal article:

A study recently released by Babson College analyzed 116 businesses started by alumni who graduated between 1985 and [...]

Buy me this.

I admit I’m a total sucker for great advertising. And this viral video for Norelco’s new Bodygroom has me, inconceivably, teetering on the precipice of actually buying this @%#$ thing.

I actually feel a little bad because I wonder what it would be like to outsource my entire life too.

The company’s CEO, Vivek Kulkarni, responds: “It would be a great pleasure to be talking to a person of your stature.” Already I’m liking this. I’ve never had stature before. In America, I barely command [...]

As you all probably know, I have been raising money for the Tour of Hope.

Now, if you live anywhere on the eastern seaboard, you know it’s been raining like hell up here. There’s some tropical storm dumping tons of rain on us. Jack and I figured that we would continuously check the website for updates… [...]

Dr. Evil would be excited

Apparently some dolphins with poison darts got out of Lake Pontchartrain with some help from Katrina.

Presumably, the actual firing would be done by remote control, rather than by the dolphins, who may be really smart, but who do not have hands with which to press the firing button for the “fricking darts,” nor, for [...]
