Robert Di Nero has a great scene in the beginning of the movie Ronin where he checks out the back of the restaurant he is to meet people. He later confirms that he never enters a room without knowing the way out. This should be your approach to technology. Technology by it’s very nature is [...]

This is my first Webmaster World conference, and it’s been really great so far. I had pretty much given up on the some other conferences. Ad-tech and Search Engine Strategies just seem to be more about after parties and selling stuff than about educating people. A couple years ago I discovered SXSW, which made me [...]

Back in early 1999 I was working as a loan officer in Chicago. For those of you who don’t know, being a loan officer in the mortgage space is basically a sales gig. We sell money, and the person with the best rates wins. I was pretty good at it, and I had some decent [...]

I work a lot. Right now it’s almost 2am, and I’m just now taking a break. Sometimes the only thing that keeps me going is the idea that maybe I’ll get to retire young and do all the things that I would like to do. So while I take a break from the daily/nightly grind, [...]

A couple years ago, I started to play a lot more poker. I played online, I attended the World Poker Tour Boot Camp, and I have played in a couple tournaments in Vegas. I have seen a few articles about poker strategies in business, and for the most part I didn’t find them to be [...]

Yesterday’s announcement from Apple was probably the most blogged about press release in history. As you have probably already heard, you can now easily run Windows on a Mac. This of course if not the first time this has happened. True cross-platform integration has been the holly grail of Mac users for some time. Even [...]

In his more lucid days, John Dovorak made what I believe to be one of the best statements about people who use Macs. He said, “There are two types of people using Macs. Those who don’t know any better, and those who know more than the rest of us.� I’d like to believe that I’m [...]

Being in the business world, I come across unethical people often. Most of them seem to hail from Boca Raton. But there is one organization that trumps them all in the world of short sighted, unethical behavior. I can’t say their name because they are very litigious, but it’s a major brand. This organization was [...]
