Something to think about…

Look­ing for some­thing to spark your cre­ativ­ity; some­thing to give you a lit­tle inspi­ra­tion? Try read­ing Paul Arden’s newest book “What­ever You Think, Think The Oppo­site.” I was for­tu­nate enough to have won this one from In Bub­ble Wrap (best site on the web), and I thor­oughly enjoyed it. The book is short. I am …read more

Keep an Eye on Bausch & Lomb

The best known brand in the con­tact lens indus­try has a prob­lem. Bausch & Lomb’s Renu with Mois­ture­Loc has been linked to a seri­ous eye con­di­tion knows as Fusar­ium Ker­ati­tis.

Noise, Noise, Noise, Who should you listen to?

Cre­at­ing Pas­sion­ate Users is one of my favorite sites on the web. They reg­u­larly use sim­ple pic­tures and graph­ics com­bined with funny cap­tions to make rel­e­vant points about busi­ness. They typ­i­cally fol­low up the fun with a very insight­ful expla­na­tion of the con­cept. This pic­ture is part of a post about lis­ten­ing in rela­tion to …read more

Con­grat­u­la­tions to Cory Booker, the new mayor of Newark, New Jer­sey.  I first learned of Cory Booker from the PBS doc­u­men­tary “Street Fight” which chron­i­cled his last attempt to become mayor.  Though he nar­rowly lost to then incum­bent mayor Sharpe James, his deter­mi­na­tion, pas­sion, and ded­i­ca­tion were inspi­ra­tional.  I am excited to see what is …read more
