Most Children Learn Computer Skills Before Life Skills
This is very interesting to me. It hits home because when I saw my sister and her three-year-old son a month ago, I noticed something that seemed a little strange to me.

Office Kitchen Politics: Does This Happen At Your Office?
The other day I wrote an article about laziness in the workplace. It was really funny to see how many people in Corporate America spend their time during the day. Since I don't work in a traditional office, the whole thing made me giggle. I think it's ridiculous that some people can't access Twit ...
How Lazy Are We At Work? [Infographic]
One reason I'm an entrepreneur is because if I worked for someone else, I'd probably get fired my first week. After all, I like to get on Twitter and Facebook whenever I want, and I like to take as many breaks as I want during the day. Is that lazy? I don't know. I'd like to think it isn't, but ...

Robb Posch is my kinda guy. He approaches food from a ridiculous perspective, and he likes to experiment. Do you remember Nerds? Nerds were popular back in the 80s, as a matter of fact; they were "candy of the year" in 1985. It was a Willy Wonka candy that was kinda like SweeTarts, only way bett ...

So I finally pushed myself over the edge and tried out the heavily successful Angry Birds game on my iPad. I had tried it out briefly before, but this time, I wanted to really get into the game, and I did. The graphics aren't that impressive, and the game play isn't unique after having played Crus ...
5 Lessons A Snowflake Can Teach Us About Blogging
We aren't very familiar with snow in Atlanta. If we are lucky, it snows about two or three days each winter (about an inch or two each time), and it is usually melted after a few hours. However, this week it's very different. It's like we are living in the twilight zone or something. We have a l ...
