I’ve had a cold the past few days. I’ve only been able to mentally handle a few hours of work per day. I’ve been spending a lot of time sleeping, reading and watching TV (and by TV I mean a little Hulu, some DVDs, and Sports Center).
Lucky for me I’ve been enamored with a [...]

Another Business Magazine Bites the Dust
Last night I picked up the latest issue of Fortune Small Business magazine and started flipping through. I almost never read the letter from the editor, but the headline ”Hail and Farewell” caught my eye. I thought maybe the editor was leaving and moving on. Turns out that this would be the [...]
snailmailr is Brilliant!
I recently discovered snailmailr, a nifty website that lets you send real mail (i.e. “snail mail”) online for only 99 cents per letter, postage included. As you can see from the picture, the interface is dead simple. You can write your letter with their online editor or you can attach a Word Document, PDF, Powerpoint [...]
I Just Tried Google Chrome OS And…
I think people are kind of missing the point.
If you haven’t had a chance, watch the short video below and read the live blog of the event from TechCrunch.
I installed it as a virtual machine using VirtualBox, as you can see in the picture above. Given that there aren’t any guest additions, it’s somewhat [...]
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 [...]
Computing in 2019
On my way to work I’ve been listening to a bunch of the Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leader Podcasts. They are all fascinating. I feel like it’s such a better use of my time than just listening to music. I actually look forward to my drives because these talks just turn my creative [...]
Z.ips.ME Launched!
After URL shortening service tr.im closed and then re-opened this week due to the public backlash, I thought it would be a good time to release Z.ips.ME, the URL shortener for PHP & MySQL that I started working on a few months back.
We’ve been using it internally for our Twitter accounts and it’s [...]
Announcing Z.ips.ME – Your Very Own URL Shortener
Background
When I started using Twitter, one of the first things that piqued my interest was URL shorteners. Not only does it make no sense why Twitter doesn’t officially have their own URL shortening service (although bit.ly is sort of official now), but it really made no sense to me why everyone used either bit.ly [...]
Why Don’t All News Sites Have This?
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 [...]
Will Twitter Replace…
No. The answer is no. Twitter won’t replace blogging or anything else. It is it’s own medium, one which I recently found was very helpful and decided was worth my time. But the idea that it will replace blogs is a little crazy in my opinion. Just like it’s crazy to think that blogs replace [...]
