I’m sure you’ve heard it a million times, BACKUP YOUR DATA! I’ve heard it a million times and I’ve been telling my clients to back up their data for almost 30 years (am I really that old?) My friend Sallie Goetsch (rhymes with "sketch") is a backup evangelist. She is the queen of backups and More…
I came across an interesting blog post that talked about a trick waiters use to persuade you into ordering a specific dish. The post is located at http://www.boingboing.net/2008/01/28/waiters-use-nodding.html The trick is that they tilt their head about 10 to 15 degrees and smile slightly as they suggest a dish.

I’m convinced that Seth Godin does not sleep and lives on an intravenous supply of energy drinks. How can one person write so many great books and continuously pump out tons of valuable information.
