Do you ever feel like someone slipped an invisibility potion into your morning cereal? I think it's happened to me this week. Texts have gone ignored, emails unanswered, phone calls unreturned.

[Photo by JJ Ying on Unsplash] or pique. In my recent newsletter to my adoring fans, part of the subject line read, "and a first peak at the sequel!" Ugh. I am the kind of guy who rereads emails ten times to make sure every comma is in place and there are no misspellings or other egregious errors. …
[Photo by Savannah Walters on Unsplash] I love reading. It is such a part of who I am that it seems silly to even mention it. But apparently there are a lot of people out there who don't.

I actually haven’t told ANYONE what it’s about yet. Not even my wife. Not even my brother. Both of whom I share just about everything with. I …
Photo by Steve Halama on Unsplash Just a quick update today. I have added a Now page to my site. This is a simple page where I can put what I'm working on and thinking about right now. It also has my current reading list. The idea is Derek Siver's and he has a site dedicated to it …
OR Tossing Random Thoughts into the Void Photo by Ian Baldwin on Unsplash I had a talk with my boss the other day at my “real job.” He asked what the point of Twitter was. He just didn’t get it and thought it was a waste of time. I found myself trying to defend it, trying to come …
OR How to Not Be a Moron Photo by Brad C. Wilcox It still baffles me how utterly clueless people are sometimes. I was just looking at a book on Amazon, and there was a one-star review that said, “I thought I was ordering a paperback.” That’s all it said. Because this person was too …
