Okay guys, if there is one thing that is 500% easier in Windows than it is in Mac it trying to find a Word document. I’ve used Finder’s search feature and looked for *.doc as well as Spotlight and looked for *.doc. Nothing is coming up. Darren recommended Quicksilver but it hurts my brain trying […]

Nice One major quirk: Used and new book sales are counted equally. So an author anxious about his sales ranking could put a few dozen of his books for sale for a penny apiece and ask a friend to buy them all. … Outside the top 1% or so of books, few sell multiple copies […]

Drew put out a call for advice to new college grads: I shake my head at the mistakes the grads make while trying to vie for my attention.  So I decided we (yes WE) could give them a gift that will put that digital camera to shame.  We can help them get that job. 1) […]

CNN just had an article about a guy that runs a gas station and sells girl scout cookies for $4 (when they retail for $3). The hard hitting journalist made him read the box where it says ‘Resale is unauthorized.’ Of course the idiot acts like he’d just now read the text on the boxes […]

Another viral thingy is making its way around the ‘sphere: My friend and publisher Yvonne of Lipsticking tagged me the other day to play the “5 Reasons Why You Blogâ€? tag game.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
