2008 has been quite a year. I wasn’t able to finish one big project I’d hoped to complete (I still need to learn to manage distractions better), but the year has seen a number of good developments, both business and personal. Here are some highlights:

My efforts to make “internet marketing guru” contacts that started last [...]

Russell Brunson’s Zero to $100 Million Challenge started last week. I’ve been (and still am) pretty busy, so I just got around to joining today.
I’ve been following Russell and his company since last year a little before I launched my Guru Stalker website, and based on what I’ve already learned from him, I’m very excited [...]

I may as well say it before someone else does — I’m a greedy S.O.B.! And by “greedy”, I mean that I’d like to pay off credit cards, family members and medical bills and start saving some money.
Why am I hearing Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick singing “I’m a Goofy Goober” in my head? Oh well, [...]

I just got done playing “Olympic Baseball” with my five year old. I hit the ball and he handed out medals.
If the ball (his little plastic ball, pitched by his little popup toy) hit the fence, I got a bronze. If it cleared the fence into the back yard, I got silver. And if it [...]

During the last summer olympics, NBC seemed to think we’d be more interested in watching their biographical vignettes than the athletes’ performances. It was the low point in a string of olympics that made me really wish they didn’t have the exclusive U.S. broadcasting rights. And I really didn’t like Bob Costas.
Based on this year’s [...]

When a store goes above and beyond the call of duty, I always feel like giving them a shout out.
Today, I finally got around to exchanging my birthday present from back in June (or was it a fathers day present? The two are so close–sometimes the same day–that I forget). My wife had gotten me [...]

It’s 1:30 am, and I just came in from checking out Jupiter and four of its moons in my little telescope. It was even cooler than when I first looked at Saturn just after getting the telescope a few months ago.
The moment it appeared in the eyepiece, before even focusing, I immediately recognized what I’d [...]

I think I got stung by a wasp yesterday. You’re probably thinking that’s not how people usually describe the experience, so let me explain.
My brother in law brought some fireworks over yesterday including a few of the kind that shoot out parachutes. The two big ones were amazing — there’s wasn’t that much of a [...]

I’m running a one week only special on CaRP Evolution and YesTube to raise money to pay our greedy hospital. I’ll get to the deal in just a minute, but first a little background.
A few months ago, my baby boy, Lincoln, got RSV. He spent 3 days in the hospital just in case things took [...]

My experience with taxes this year was mixed (ain’t it always!)
The bad: The IRS sent my tax return back to me asking me to attach a W-2. All of my income is from self-employment (through my LLC), so I have no W-2 wages. My tax return said “0″ on the W-2 line. My only guess [...]
