Catching Up

Once I realized I wasn’t going to hit my goal of posting every day this month I kind of drifted off on to other things, but that doesn’t mean I’m still not here. I’ve got a bunch of things in the fire so I thought I’d just do a brain dump of everything here [...]

4 Tips For Getting PR People To Send You Free Stuff

You probably have noticed that I occasionally get free products that I review and/or give away in contests (how cool was that giving away a free bike?!). Steve from Weight Loss Weapons did, and he asked me:
You seem to get free stuff to review all the time. Do they contact you or are you [...]

And Now a Message To My Sponsors

That’s right, to my sponsors. Not only my sponsors but any product company out there that isn’t fully engaged with the web by now. Please view this short video by Gary Vaynerchuk and evaluate whether you are truly working the room with your product marketing strategy:

Searching for Weight Loss

I was playing with Google Insights for Search recently (which I like a lot better than Google Trends, by the way) when I came across this very interesting graph.
What you are looking at (and if you click through on the graph you will see this live on Google Insights) is the Google search history for [...]

Thinking About Vacation

It’s going to be a little strange taking a vacation next week.  It seems like we don’t normally take vacations at this time of year.  Still, I am very much looking forward to it.  I hope I will be able to properly relax despite the meltdown in the economy.

Thinking About Good Decisions

When you make the decision to get back into posting and thinking about what you want to write about what you realize is just how many topics there are out there any given day. You have to move, you have to eat, and all day long you make choices - some good, some bad. [...]

Maybe All I Need is Makeup?

As I am sure any of my readers who are blog owners can understand, I get a lot of spam. I have various methods to minimize it, but some still gets in. Sometimes I keep the comment but remove the link, but usually if it didn’t get caught before I saw it, it [...]

The Power of Documentation

As you can easily see by my graphs I was doing well until the beginning of this year at which point I took a bit of a slide until a month ago, when I weighed in at my highest for some time, 279. I’m now a month in and had an unofficial weigh-in today [...]

Gap Drops XXL Size for Men - and Other Slaps to the Face

What Inspires You?

I have been thinking a bit about inspiration tonight as I read through some of the recent blog comments. What I am realizing is I don’t know that I know what truly inspires me.
Andrew wrote that I have inspired him:
