I know, I know. You’re stuck in a job that is driving you nuts. Underpaid, overworked, working a horrible shift, who knows what it is. You know you’re worth more than what you’re in right now. More than likely, you ARE worth more than your current situation (of course there are those delusional people that [...]

October 9th, 2008 · No Comments · Business, Other, Rant, Technology, mobile phones

Keep Those High Expectations
August 26th, 2008 · No Comments · Other
I posted something very similar to this on Wax Porhetoric but that had much more of personal slant to it, one on how to live life. Yet when we think about this, it is very relevant when searching for a new job, a new opportunity, or even associates in which you would like to do [...]

Wishing the U.S. Patent Office Wasn’t So Slow
August 4th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Business, Business Practices, Inventions, Inventions, Legislation, Other, Other, Rant, Rant, Technology, emerging markets, entrepreneurs, start-ups
We’ve heard over and over again how painfully slow the U.S. Patent Office is. I was reminded again today as I was copied on an email to a patent attorney regarding an application we sent in THREE YEARS AGO. What the hell? This wasn’t even a very complex product that we are dealing with here. [...]

New Revenue Models For Big Oil?
July 24th, 2008 · No Comments · Business, Business Practices, Other, Revenue Models, emerging markets

June 18th, 2008 · No Comments · Business, Other, entrepreneurs, start-ups
Being an entrepreneur affects your life in so many ways. There are the obvious ways…different hours, different stresses, a different work day…but then there are other ways that some people don’t really think about. The biggest thing that being an entrepreneur has done for me is giving me the ability to handle a multitude of [...]

East Coast, West Coast, and Being an Entrepreneur
June 4th, 2008 · No Comments · Business, Business Practices, Other, Rant
First, I apologize for my lack of news and insights here in Chia Town. As the contract I am working on comes to an end I have been scrambling to find a new gig to pay the bills. Needless to say, I haven’t had the time or the mindset to report on the more interesting [...]

Delta Needs to Revise Its Inflight TV/Movie Proceedures
March 4th, 2008 · No Comments · Mergers/Acquisitions, Other
Returning from a trip recently I had the joys of experiencing Delta Airline’s ridiculous TV/movie viewing program. Here’s what you get…a screen on the headrest in front of you that allows you to choose from a number of “free” TV shows or pay $5 for a movie. Why do I have the word “free” in [...]
