• Monkeying Around May 13, 2012
  I read an article the other day that really grabbed my attention. It seems that there is a growing trend among zookeepers to provide their incarcerated families of orangutans with iPads. The primates use the cutting edge tablet computers to—among other things—communicate with each other. For the record, they also use the iPads to draw, learn, and well, enter […]

• Working Relationships April 7, 2012
  A sad but true aspect of human relationships is that, more often than not, they don’t last forever. A relationship that is going to work requires a lot of work, by everybody involved. If you don’t put the required time and effort into it, the relationship ends. There’s not a lot of mystery here—that’s the way it is. There are lots of reasons for this. First […]

• Creatures of e-Habitat March 23, 2012
  Everybody knows that human beings are creatures of habit. Over time, we create routines for ourselves, and then we typically follow them precisely—out of habit. Our daily routines—and our weekly, monthly and yearly ones as well—are comfortable for us. They enable us to deal with an uncertain life in an uncertain world. We never know when the next problem wil […]

• My Fountain of Youth Formula March 14, 2012
  Yesterday was my birthday. (In a minute I’ll provide you with an address so you can send me a belated card and the obligatory check. Just kidding—let’s just have a mini reunion instead, if you’re interested.) Back to my birthday. There was no real celebration—the big parties stopped, what, several decades ago? I spent most of the day in my office, and frankl […]

• Hanging Out At Google March 2, 2012
  This is just what we need. Google recently unveiled a new service targeted at people who apparently have a lot of time on their hands. They have created an online “space” that they call, appropriately enough, Google Hangouts. Like I said, this is just what we need, particularly for anyone with a ton of extra time to spare who wants to sit in front of the com […]

• Old Opportunities February 20, 2012
  As an entrepreneur, I am always working—and I am never working. For many years I have enjoyed the luxury of earning an income doing the things that I thoroughly enjoy on my own schedule and at my own pace. Many of my present business adventures are all based on the Internet, which allow me the flexibility to work anywhere I happen to be, any time I want to w […]

• Hug Your Valentine February 14, 2012
  Today of course is Valentine’s Day. Don’t forget to give your Valentine a big, big hug. I’ve always wondered about this day. It’s certainly a day that everybody recognizes—we all know that today is Valentines Day—but it’s not really a holiday. All those people who know that it’s Valentine’s Day know it from work. Now don’t get me wrong here—I basically like […]

• A Heck of a Long Time February 8, 2012
  While doing some research for a report I was writing recently, I stumbled upon some amazing facts about Facebook. Now before I tell you what I discovered, I’ll admit that I’m fascinated—and a little bit dismayed—by the amount of time that people spend online in general and on social media sites in particular. The Internet is a powerful tool that has changed […]

• Who Needs Enemies February 5, 2012
  Imagine having a friend who never called or wrote to you. They never sent you a text message or an email. Or worse, suppose you were sitting at a restaurant and this “friend” was sitting right next to you, but didn’t say anything to you. In fact, they didn’t even acknowledge you–mainly because they didn’t really know who you are. Would this person really be […]

• A Meeting of the Minds February 2, 2012
  In my business there are still things that I insist upon. When there is something that needs to get done, we do it in person. Of course I am aware that there are plenty of technical options available, all intended to keep people from having to get together in person. Granted, there are times when people have to share ideas and information remotely. There rea […]
