When Your Budget Gets Blasted (Misc) [Tech Rest]
Sometimes life happens and you find yourself in a nearly instant financial crisis.
Although I’m not an accountant or a financial advisor, I’m no stranger to these situations.
So what do you pay first? Next?
Food. You’ve gotta eat and it’s a mistake to pay bills before you buy groceries.
Transportation. If you can’t get to work, things are [...]
The Power Of Desire X 2 (Spiritual) [Tech Rest]
The power of desire is one of the most powerful forces on the planet. This power multiplies geometrically when couples, teams, or business associates share the same desire.
Recently, I have been profoundly impacted by Stormie Omartian’s The Power of a Praying® Husband. Guys, if you want a happy wife, this one is a must read.

Rebooting Your Life (Spiritual) [Tech Rest]
Sometimes an event or series of events causes you to re-evaluate everything about your life. Recently I had one of those wake-up calls.
So what can you do (and what I am doing)?
Shut down what you can shut down. When life throws you a curve ball, you need as few battles to fight as possible. Shut [...]

Macbook Air – Just Right Or Too Thin? (Tech Thursday) [Tech Rest]
The new ultra-portable laptop was recently introduced at Macworld. Kudos for Apple having the boldness to do something really different. As usual, if I could buy whatever Jobs pitches at a keynote within an hour of the speech, I would. On the other hand, after the effects of the speech wear off, I begin to [...]

What’s Wrong With Annual Reviews And What To Do Instead (GTD Tuesday) [Tech Rest]
Recently I heard a podcast that offered a great alternative to annual performance reviews. It seems that most companies do annual reviews but most people agree that they aren’t very effective.
The podcast was an episode of The Cranky Middle Manager featuring David Maister, author of Strategy and the Fat Smoker; Doing What’s Obvious But [...]
Move It So You Won’t Lose It (Email Monday) [Tech Rest]
When you have more than one screen page of emails in your Inbox, you start to go numb to them. In effect, you lose them.
Many people use their Inbox as a todo list. Since the average person gets over 80 messages a day, the Inbox just doesn’t work very well as a todo list: [...]
Contest: YouTube Your Way To Stress Relief (Fun and Fitness Friday) [Tech Rest]
On a Sunday morning a couple of weeks ago, I was laughing out loud at some videos on YouTube.
If you need some stress relief (and who doesn’t), just go to YouTube, type in your search, and immediately get funny videos for free! One search that works well for me is “clean comedians”.
One comedian I really [...]

Bitwine is a great service connecting consultants with customers. If you missed my post last week about it, click here.
I had some questions and one of their people was gracious enough to spend some time with me last Saturday.
