Working a Networking Event
by
As much as I do like going out to meet ups and local events, I’m terrible at networking for my business. I suppose I should follow tips like this but it just doesn’t feel like me. By nature I’m not pushy, I figure that my work and clients will speak for themselves. I do good…
Can RadioShack Nissan Trek Survive it’s Dissent?
by
I’ve wondered how things were going with [Team RadioShack Nissan Trek][rns] (RNS) for a while now. Forget the lack of results for the team this year.

Again, Take a Break or Burnout
by

Yet another article form 8bit Dad, though not on parenting this time, has got me thinking about the stupid people that we are surrounded with. Turns out parents don’t think that their children will be able to tug on the cord and wrap it around their necks. Toddlers are never known to tug on anything…
