Was it a good idea to build a lens on Squidoo.com about me and my search for employment?  Well thus far the answer would be "Yes."  Launched just days ago, http://www.squidoo.com/davidebowman is currently ranked  #125 in popularity.  To add perspective to that, there are reportedly about 20,000 lenses currently up and running in Squidoo, so 125 is pretty good in my estimation.  I would consider it to be a hit so far.  Hopefully that base …read more

Well I may not have a job right now, but I will be able to spend some of my time off reading  my free copy of  Paul Ardin's "Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite," thanks to InBubbleWrap.com. This marks my third time in the IBW winners circle, and I must say that it feels just as good as the first two times. What the heck is InBubbleWrap.com you ask? It is only one of the …read more

So I tried Firefox. At first I thought, "OK, so what is the big …read more

Imagine my dismay when just over a week ago the brackets were released, and I discovered that my beloved Tarheels and my equally beloved Buckeyes would be playing right up the road at the UD arena. “Why would you be dismayed Dave?” “That sounds like good news.” The dismay came from the price of the tickets and the fact that while on the search for a job, it probably is not a good idea to …read more

Malcolm Gladwell has a great post on his blog about the danger of statistics. He has an uncanny ability to look at a situation or problem from a unique angle, and he demonstrates it again in “The Pit Bull Paradox.” Are Pit Bulls more dangerous? I have a friend who has one that is a great dog. She happens to be a great dog owner, which may actually make a bigger difference than dog type. …read more
