There are more and more reasons to skip meetings and collaborate online instead. Time, gas and traffic are good enough reasons on their own to stay put and meet online. I think the reason people still insist on meeting face-to-face for every little thing is because they don’t know what alternatives are available. I don’t [...]
I did this interview a little while ago, but I recently found the transcript which I had promised to post. If you’d rather listen to it, I posted the audio on Google Video before they stopped allowing new content. Here’s the link for that. John Assaraf of OneCoach.com And The Secret John: I’ve got as [...]
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard someone say something along the lines of, “I don’t like Twitter because you can’t have a conversation and connect with people in only 140 characters,” I’d be swimming in singles.

It’s officially HOT in Washington, DC. Has it been a full week of 100+ temps? If not, it’s still pretty darn hot. Of course, the best way to beat the heat is to meet other sweaty people and share cool drinks. To that end, the next DC Tweetup (#DCTweetup 14) is at Urbana DC. From [...]
A year ago, I lost my dog in a tragic accident. As the neighbors helped out by literally picking up the pieces, I wrote this post. My July 4th last year was spent at the farm as my friend Lili literally put the pieces back together so I could bury Punkie under a willow tree. [...]
