Kind of a random quick spontaneous post here.
This past week has been the most fun I’ve ever had running a business. Part of it is seeing the positive results of what we’ve done. We’ve accomplished everything as a team, and accomplishments are always better when you have people to share them with…especially when you all [...]

Just Having Fun
Consistency = Success = Happiness?
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 [...]
There’s No Replacement for Hard Work
Mark Cuban is doing something awesome. He started The Mark Cuban Stimulus Plan – Open Source Funding, where he has decided to help stimulate the economy by investing in ideas and companies that he believes in. He’s still accepting requests via comments on that original post (almost 2k comments and counting!), but today he [...]
Accomplishing a Daunting Task
Our ‘09 goal to revamp our e-commerce platform and build what we consider to be the all around best e-commerce platform on the web is obviously not an easy one. In fact, it’s a really really challenging goal. Most notably, because of our lack of resources available (money, people, time, etc). It truly is a [...]
13 Ways to Find More Time in ‘09
A while back a friend of mine asked me “how do you do it all?” I kind of looked at him perplexed. “All of the websites, your blog, reading books and blogs, getting to the gym on a routine basis, spending time with friends and family, etc.” Not knowing how to reply, I just said [...]
Prioritizing Work – Part Deux
Oke from Life is What You Make of It (one of my favorite blog designs, by the way) left a really interesting comment on my last post about prioritizing work:
I got a question for you. I am having a problem with this myself and do a shitty job on getting back on track. How do [...]
How to Invest $15
Seriously. I see these little cards every month and think to myself “what a steal”.
One of the best uses for your money is investing in your own personal development. Reading offers the most bang for your buck – you can literally learn anything you want by picking up a book. Back in January I wrote [...]
More on College as a Results-Only-Work-Environment (ROWE)
I’ve referenced Tim Ferris’ awesome blog post about Best Buy’s Results-Only-Work-Environment before, but it bears quoting again:
ROWE stands for Results-Only Work Environment. In a ROWE, each person is free to do whatever they want, whenever they want, as long as the work gets done. Currently, there are two authentic ROWEs—Fortune 100 retailer Best Buy Co, [...]
Bootstrap Yourself
While we’re on the topic of Mark Cuban posts, there was something else I wanted to comment on from that same post. As he often does, he included a “classic” Mark Cuban post at the bottom of his current post. In this case it was a post from earlier this year entitled The Best Equity [...]
Building Something
I was having a discussion with a friend the other day about his job hunt. It’s not that he doesn’t like his current job per-se, but that he feels like it isn’t offering any growth opportunities – financially or otherwise. We discussed how frustrating it is to go to a job every day and feel [...]
