OK. This is morbid and funny. My friend Joe just put up a blog that will feature all the ways you can die. I don’t know why, but I laugh just thinking about it. I must be in that kind of mood. Oh yeah, and it’s titled: Death, Death, Death That’s just hiliarious. The other…

I have this peculiar habit when I’m feeling down. It’s going to be hard to describe specifically. But it’s something along the lines of: no one else must ever feel this way. No one else must be worried, weak and just mired down in it. No no. That’s not quite it. Scared, alone, not effective,…

In today’s New York Times, they covered corporate blogs. They mentioned Bob Parsons’ blog. It was interesting in the story because he didn’t pull any punches in his blog.

Here’s a pretty interesting general marketing blog I just came across. Seth Godin: Agent of Change
