How many of you sit around with your friends and talk a lot of game about how you’re going to go on a road trip across the country? Probably far fewer of you actually do that trip (myself included if you don’t count moving for work).
These cats pulled the trigger on their cross country voyage and are having an awesome time in the process. @instigatingandi@mynameiscolin and @TMFproject just came through Boulder to rock out, network with freelancers, entrepreneurs and locals alike and are heading on their way to Salt Lake City, Utah next to continue their trip Westward that started in New York City.
Check out their blog and send them some support, props and money if you’ve got it!
My girlfriend is all about her Friday Linky Love posts, which she never, ever misses every single week. So this week, I wanted to start a new tradition called “Fresh Findings Friday.” Every week I’m gonna try and turn you folks onto someone or something new and totally ill.
Steve is one of my closest friends from back home and is basically an evil genius. This is the kind of guy who, with no formal training, is able to hack computers, set up small business quality virtual networks and can photoshop the hell out of any innocent enough looking picture. I’ve been raving like a mad man at home for the better part of 5 years to start blogging, but he always said it wasn’t for him. So, I pressured him more and more and he didn’t budge.
Then obviously I was back home for some reason and he casually mentions to me that he has a blog. Hardy, harr, he always has the last laugh on me. As all of you can see, he’s a good writer, funny and really smart. I’m really proud of him for the recent steps he’s taking in his life and career and I wanted to give him a little shine on here.
Hopefully we can get him to guest blog on here sometime soon, maybe even move over to a self-hosted site… and hopefully he won’t leave my personal brand in ruins with his love for exposing the more delicate parts of my adolescence.
Intuition is a tool that most people have, but few people use wisely. I’ve made major life decisions on intuition more than once, fallen flat on my face a few times too, yet I never have regretted any of those decisions. Why?
Why do risk takers continue to take risks repeatedly after they’ve taken a 12 [...]
How many good ideas are formed in a vacuum?
It’s interesting to think about how many businesses were formed by hermits or people who didn’t do much collaboration around the things they were interested in.
I think there may be a tendency to isolate yourself, for some people, when you’re trying to stay true to yourself and [...]
Fighting off the drowsiness associated with good food and beer on a hot summer Sunday afternoon, I wanted to write a quick post about how awesome the concept of a Sunday Potluck is. I am offering a lion’s share of the credit to my girlfriend and her roommate for inspiring and pushing along the idea [...]
One would think that a tried and true introvert wouldn’t want to move out of their comfort zone to pursue careers, romance, social scenes or anything else that isn’t in their own comfortable little bubble. Introverts are weird, silent, misunderstood little people and I count myself among their ranks. How do we get along when [...]
I’m trying to remember the last time I actually physically touched something that I sold. Besides retail (FML), I used to build ventilation hoods and air duct systems when I was in high school. My uncle and grandfather ran a pretty successful sheet metal fabrication business out of some converted garages behind the property where [...]
I wanted to highlight a new feature I installed on NotSoLiteral.com which is a new and interesting tool I wanted to test out with my readers – Kapost, a social content management system.
What does that mean?
Well, basically if you have a blog, you can install this widget into pretty much any content management [...]
Lately I feel like I’ve been tormenting myself. After moving to Boulder, the apartment situation (more like a house) that I landed in that has benefited me greatly due to it’s open ended, contract free terms and cheap rent. The only catch? No dogs allowed! Well, not yet anyways. I fully intend on working the [...]
What’s the dividing line between deeming something as acceptable for the masses to go crazy over and what’s worth investing real time and energy into, regularly, consistently, even when it’s not the easiest or most simple thing to do at first? What feelings do you want to hang onto?
Making breakfast for other [...]
