I am a huge 49ers fan…and while it wasn’t pretty the last decade, I have maintained my love for the red and gold. Needless to say, I was jumping around my living room, more than a little excited on Saturday afternoon. This morning, I checked out their website to see what they had done since they clinched the spot in the NFC Championship game. I was...
Last week, I learned about Storify, a site which has just launched into public beta, from a blog post on Simply Zesty. According to Storify, the point of the site is:To form or tell stories of; to narrate or describe in a story. To make stories using social media.I love stories. I love social media. I love writing. Seemed like a no-brainer that I would like Storify...
Every once in a while, I have a very random idea for something (I think would be) incredible.

So save. save. save. and save again. Now...

New ideas are what made me create this site – what started my business – and what will start you thinking about the next steps in your life. Today, I...
Today is the last two-words of 2009…and as much as I have enjoyed the series, it will be the last two-word tuesday [insert scary music] EVER! It is being replaced with a very fun and exciting new weekly short, that will be showing up starting [insert exciting music] THIS FRIDAY!
