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 […]

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 […]
