Need a Push?
Awesome! I spent last evening at NetSquared listening to the most amazing force of a woman named Angela Wrigglesworth. She was letting us know about the Ms Wheelchair Tx organization. There will be no stopping Angela. She has amazing stories and after overcoming so much in her life, will now be overcoming her timidness of technology. I left last night’s meeting uplifted, inspired and...

Overextended with GTD
I have been thinking very much about GTD and implementing chunks without the full system yet. There are inherent benefits to simplifying and managing tasks right away to reduce brain clutter. Kind of like Simple Living for your head. But, the system has it’s limits. This is one I probably knew, but hadn’t really realized until some thoughtful person verbalized you can overextend...
Dogs think about Vick →
Let your little ball of fur dream and slobber away happily while thinking about Vick and retribution. Yes, he is innocent until a dog gets hold of his leg. Hopefully, they will figure out the donation squabbles, in the meantime, my pups will get a chance to strengthen their teeth! ;-)

Murdoch Rules. →
Do you think Rupert stands on a balcony yelling… “I am King of the World!” Somehow I feel he is creeping past good business decisions and into meglogigantorness. Hope he uses his outreach for good as well.
