Week one of the run­ning pro­gram is offi­cially in the books, and I feel really good about it. While the first week of the pro­gram involved a lot more walk­ing than run­ning, the hard­est part came long before I laced up the Asics, strapped on the I-Pod, and hit the side­walk.

Check out the newly released Google Help page. It has tons of infor­ma­tion on all things Google, and there is a lot more to the Big G than sim­ple search.

The pro­gram is sim­ple, and involves 30 min­utes of walk­ing / jog­ging a […]

Next month Seth Godin’s new book Small is the New Big will be released. It is a col­lec­tion of great blog posts, excerpts from mag­a­zine arti­cles, and other assorted gems penned by Mr. Godin. I am look­ing for­ward to read­ing it, (again). I have already read most of the con­tent by fol­low­ing Seth’s blog, where […]
