How to remain relevant like Madonna
Why are folks so impressed that Madonna at "her age" has remained relevant for the better part of 30 years? Sure, audiences in the entertainment industry can be fickle, but don't we all face the challenge of remaining relevant in our chosen careers? Last night, I watched her performance during the … [Read more...]
I don't find time to write; I make time

Until earlier this week, I wasn't comfortable answering that question or even quite sure how to answer it. It turns out the answer is simple: I make time to write, I don't find it.

The power of video
Since early 2009 I've been experimenting with video and continue to be impressed with how easy and relatively inexpensive it is to create near professional quality video.

How partnering and giving things away for free leads to success
Recently, I signed up for the free version of TripIt. I liked the free version enough to give the Pro option a try. The first 30 days are free anyway, so my risk was zero.
