It's Easy to Forget Milestones

I had to go back and look up the date. A couple of days ago, August 10th, was the first anniversary of this blog! Yeah! Part of me wants to downplay it. I tend to do that with things I value, from a long ago lesson that if I really care about something it will …

After years of scribbling URLs, special offer codes, and phone numbers on scraps of paper and backs of envelopes, then forgetting where I put them, I graduated to creating a draft in Gmail, which at least made a centralized dumping area.

It's Like He Wrote This For Me

I am a person who is great at making lists, but not so great at doing something with the items on my list. Having just discovered Mashable a few days ago, I am delighted that Jordan English Gross is already inside my head with his new article, 5 Steps to Getting Unstuck and Pursuing Your …
