Sex Sex and More Sex

January 29th, 2006 · 2 Comments

Dave commented that it was odd for Google to show an RSS feed in their search results, because they are supposed to be “invisible” except for their express purpose. He is correct, so I went back to Google and did the same search again and the RSS feed still shows up number two, but the [...]

January 28th, 2006 · 2 Comments

January 26th, 2006 · 1 Comment

CORRECTION: I need to make a correction about the source of the Peter Drucker Tribute held yesterday.
I attributed it to Dave’s B2Blog, but it was at Troy Worman’s Orbit Now. Both are sites I read every day, so I was did a bad, bad thing. Sorry guys for the confusion.

The Determination Factor of Motivation

January 25th, 2006 · 2 Comments
