  • More Cats Go Blogwild!

    Monica write in: I got your book a while ago and devoured it as soon as it came in the mail. Thank you for such valuable content. I ran across this picture and wanted to send along to you because I assumed (from your blog picture) that you too are a cat lover. My cat, […]

  • Ornery Grampa Goes Blogwild

    Another fun success story: I am very ‘untech’ and owned the book for months without finishing it. I decided that the way for me to get through and have a functioning blog was to read 5 or so pages, highlighting what I wanted to do, and the ‘how to’s’, and sit with the book open […]

  • Some Holds Barred

    I was wrong. About a week or so ago I decided to experiment in blending my profesional (andywibbels.com) and personal blogs (andymatic.com). I thought that combining my passions would make my coverage of marketing, technology, politics and my personal life all co-amplify. It didn’t. I got watered down. My political blogging was toned to be […]

  • Another Take on The Secret

    From The Simple Dollar: Look, here’s the real “secretâ€? to getting rich: find something you love, find a way that it can make money for you, and then push with all your might in that direction. If you’re doing that, you’re rich already – and money will follow you. Even if what you’re doing right […]

  • The Secret and the 2 Systems of Success

    Eskeptic on The Secret: The deeply offensive racial overtones are hard to ignore, as are the sexist slurs — for instance, during the delivery of the above quotation, the visual is of a boardroom full of white, cigar-smoking male executives. Evidently social inequality and injustice, a lack of resources, several thousand years of patriarchy, oppression […]

  • Chainsaws and Manatees

    Sitting here at the cafe. Almost 9pm. Ron is on his way to Amsterdam. I’m my father’s son: I spent my walk around Lakeview (to Home Depot) calling everyone I could think of. My dad usually does this on Sundays when the coming work week is approaching (granted, he’s retired now). Had a fantastic slice […]

  • Future Eugenics Program: Speed Dating with Greedy Whores and Shallow Assholes

    Another type of attraction: A few weeks ago, when we first reported about a nauseating Manhattan speed dating event that would require male participants to meet an annual income threshold of $500,000 (with at least a million in the bank) and females to submit five pictures to prove their hotness, we wondered, "What kind of […]

  • Upside Down Face

    This is one of the funniest swatches of The Family Guy I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve watched it at least five times already.

  • Melinda Doolittle on American Idol

    Yes all the white girls are boring as hell – and half of them look like variations on a theme: fried hair, vacant eyes, affected cuteness and faux-quettish. Lakisha has a powerful voice but lacks charisma. Stephanie is doing good but I just don’t know why I don’t graft on to her. And that Antonella […]

  • The Secret Sequel and Science of Getting Rich Program Announced with Bob Proctor, Michael Beckwith and Jack Canfield

    From the grapeinve, a link to the mastermind Science of Getting Rich package: In fact, a sequel to movie – The Secret: The Next Step will begin filming in Jan 2007 with a release in August/September 2007. The course includes 10 CDs, an MP3 with 15 hours of audio, plus a ‘generous two-tier affiliate program’. […]
