The other day I noticed that SportsIllustrated.com has an awesome feature on all of their stories: a bulleted list of “story highlights” in the upper-right hand corner of the page.
SI.com is owned by CNN, so CNN also has the same “story highlights”. I’m actually surprised that more news sites don’t have this feature. I normally [...]
This past week I noticed that the gym was noticeably emptier. In fact, it’s been getting less and less crowded every week for the past month or so. This is perfectly normal, because it’s March, and March is just about when everyone who made a New Year’s Resolution to get in shape is starting to [...]
Did you ever discover a piece of software that is so simple and so useful that it almost seems amazing that it isn’t standard on everyone’s computer? This past weekend while reading Lifehacker, I saw a reference to a free text-replacement tool called Texter that they created and were hyping up. After reading all [...]
About a year ago I ditched my index card method for daily goals in favor of using my task list. I’ve always had an electronic task list going back to college – first it was in Outlook, then in Thunderbird, then iPrioritize, and now Remember the Milk (only because it integrates with my Pure Adapt [...]

The first hasn’t had their first customer yet. He has spent countless hours and dollars on market research, developing and re-developing his website and logo, projecting revenues and costs, and developing procedures for future employees. He wants everything to go perfectly.
The second is a seasoned business owner. He has been in business for [...]
Since we made the decision last week to launch our revamped Detailed Image by early April, I have been programming my brains out. I’ve probably worked more hours in the last two weeks than I have in any two week stretch since 2007. While there’s definitely some stress involved with that, there is also a [...]
It took two weeks, but Greg finally hunted down a copy of the Autoweek article where our E-Z Detail Brush was mentioned. The detailer who scanned us a copy also told us that it is a subscriber-only magazine, which would explain why scouring every Barnes & Noble and Borders in upstate NY was a fruitless [...]
