It’s been a while - I’m moving!

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Time really does fly, doesn’t it? I can’t believe we’re already halfway through 2008 - OK, sorry, I’ll stop rambling.

I’m moving my blog over to Results Junkies so please update your bookmarks and RSS feeds. For those of you that were previously linking to this site, I’d appreciate it if you’d take a moment to [...]

So you REALLY need a business plan?

Friday, January 26th, 2007

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 [...]

How to Kick Ass

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

As you can tell by my asking for a raise and afraid of your boss articles, I’ve been in the improve-your-life/career mood lately. It’s holiday time and everyone’s workload is probably leveling off today before they head into the long weekend. I figured that this is the best time for people to think about whether [...]

Ask anyone I know and you’ll probably find out that I spend quite a bit of time each day catching up on my favorite blogs. Generally, they range in topics from photography to personal finance to entrepreneurship and I do believe that doing all this reading has really helped me take my career to the [...]

Usman goes to DC.

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

If you were at any of the wedding events last month, you would have met Usman. Even if you didn’t “meet” Usman, you probably heard him at some point and he probably tried to dance with you too — even if there was no music playing. I believe this was the first Punjabi wedding he [...]

Buy me this.

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

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.

Click on everything, especially the music video. I can’t believe Philips and Norelco went along with this, but kudos, gentlemen. Please give us more.

If one of [...]

Maxim for India

Maxim? In India?

I see riots and mass social unrest. This should be good.

Readers are also promised information on “100 things you never knew about women”, a “how to” guide on professional begging, and a must-see article on the police inspector in Uttar Pradesh Panda, who fervently believes that he is the incarnation of the [...]

Hindsights

Late Friday nights are generally the most likely time that you’ll make your most important revelations. Or maybe it’s Tuesday afternoons. Or whatever. You get my point. It’s when you least expect it.

I’m lucky. Very lucky.

I’ve got a great set of friends that I’ve surrounded myself with. Some that have taken me under their [...]

Physics of Cow Tipping

Tuesday, November 8th, 2005

Cow-tipping may be far more difficult than dumb jocks might lead you to believe. Zoologists from the University of British Columbia conducted a study on the physics of the activity.

Ms (Tracy) Boechler, now a trainee forensics analyst for the Royal Canadian Mounted Corps, concluded in her initial report that a cow standing with its legs [...]

Shenandoah Century

Monday, September 12th, 2005

Finished up the second Century of the year… if you missed the ride report from the first one, here it is.

We finished this one up in 5 hours 34 minutes… a new record for both of us I believe. The ride went well… the views were awesome.

Here we are at the start:

100+ miles later:
