I love to bass fish and since fishing is more fishing than catching, there’s a lot of time for thinking. Thinking about fishing and thinking about everything else. Maybe that’s a big part of why I like it so much.
I find myself using fishing analogies as I explain business concepts to clients and co-workers. Maybe [...]

I have been having an issue with Worpress publishing a post I wrote. The admin just hangs when I try to publish the post.

I’ve been studying and participating in Web 2.0 social activities for the past 3 years or so to some degree. Most of the time I see the benefits of this movement, but I have to say, Who gives a shit what people are doing in micro-snippets of information. Why are trivial activities interesting? Is [...]
