Don’t Fail Your Employees

Last night I finally went on to the CBS website and watched the first episode of Undercover Boss. The premise of the show is pretty interesting – presidents/CEOs of large companies go “undercover” and work as front-line employees for their own organizations. The assumption being that they’ll see things completely differently if they [...]

The New Brazen Careerist Launches Today

Young entrepreneurship blogging networks are an interesting concept to me.  Over the past several years of blogging I’ve developed a lot of great relationships with other young, passionate business owners.  When I sit back and think about it, I’ve met the majority of them through one of the blogging networks I’ve participated in, primarily either [...]

My freecycle Experience

During my tour of our warehouse I mentioned that we made the switch recently to anti-static biodegradable packing peanuts.  Part of the reason was to protect our products better.  Part of the reason was to create a uniform packing process (previously we had just been re-using all sorts of packing material from our vendors).  And [...]

Google Chrome Initial Thoughts – WOW

 
When I woke up today and combed through my morning email I was shocked to see that yesterday Google announced that they would be releasing a browser today.  Usually these things leak out sooner, but I hadn’t heard anything other than the same type of vague rumors that you hear about a gPhone or gOS.

Linksys WRT54G3G / Sprint Mobile Broadband Review (Hint: Well Worth Every Penny)

Start-Up Junkies: Must Watch TV (or Hulu I should say)

Hulu has done it again: the TV section has introduced me to another show I never would have known about otherwise. The show is called Start-Up Junkies. On TV it can be found on the HD only channel MOJO, which to be honest I’m not even sure if I get or not…let [...]

Wow – Grooveshark Could Revolutionize the Music Industry

In college, I downloaded music from our school’s network and used Winamp to play my music. I swore I’d never be one of those “fools” who actually paid for music and fell into the iTunes/iPod trap. Then I got an iPod for Christmas one year and realized I should start paying for my [...]

My Thoughts on MyLiveSearch

Remember MyLiveSearch, the company that Google supposedly has had their eye on since its inception?  They’ve taken a lot of crap the past few months for delaying launch and for garnering a ton of hype without anyone actually seeing what they’re working on.  They promised “real-time indexing” of the web as you search.  Naturally with [...]
