Ok, I must rant today.  I was reading Leslie’s article, “Busy vs. Productive” and it resonated with me.  Maybe it will with you too.  Is our culture obsessed with getting more stuff done and not with actually doing something with a point?  Maybe.

This year I decided to walk a half marathon.  This won’t be my first race, or half marathon, for that matter.  The difference this time is that I’m actually training for it!
I got myself a schedule to follow, so I had a roadmap to follow.  Now the confession: I haven’t done every training day.  I [...]

With my laptop fan running pretty much constantly these days, I’ve been looking around at other laptops.  My dinosaur will need replacing in the near future.  I’ve got everything backed up (thanks to Carbonite), so no worries on that end.

A while back, I started using Google Grand Central for my business line.  To say that I love it is an understatement!  Then, this morning I read that they were upgrading the service, and it will be called “Google Voice”.  That’s the good news.  The bad news?  Yeah, if you don’t already have a number, [...]
