  • An Important Rule In Business – Don’t Talk Smack About People

      It’s important in business to make sure you always put your best foot forward. Sometimes someone who you deal with professionally might rub you the wrong way, but under no circumstances does it warrant bad-mouthing them to others. Remember this is a professional setting, not junior high. The reason why I’m writing this is…

  • Star Wars VII – Some What Full Of Spoilers

    I finally saw Star Wars Episode VII – The Force Awakens. It was a decent movie, by itself. Though there was a bit too much rehashing of Episode IV a New Hope.

  • The Power of Blogging

    Blogging can at times be a tedious task. It can be a real bear when ideas for topics don’t come easily. Yet even with the clear obstacles, there is a power to blogging, which no other Social Media platform can’t provide. You own and control your content. You own the discussion. You control the conversion funnel.…

  • Are New Years Resolutions Worthless?

    Are New Years resolutions worthless? How many do we actually keep? We all need to work out, get more sleep, spend more time with our loved ones, save more money, etc. But how much of this do we actually do. Instead of focusing on overarching, year-long goals, we should focus on more immediate and relatively…

  • WordPress Calypso: Improvements Needed

    I’ve been using the WordPress.com new Calypso desktop app and LOVING IT. But it needs some improvements. Here are my thoughts.

  • Open Source vs. Close Source

    I’ve been thinking about open source lately. I’ve always been a big proponent of it, but now with Google, Facebook, Automattic and others releasing their software, hardware, and other stuff into the open source community, it’s got me thinking. Why wouldn’t you want to open source your software and hardware? First off what is open…

  • WordPress.com the other Medium.com?

    With the new WordPress.com and Calypso, I’m noticing something I haven’t before. WordPress.com is really the other Medium.com. There is a vibrant community on the system and with Calypso and the new WordPress.com, it’s easier than ever to dive in and read some great stuff. Being a Web designer and only using self-hosted WordPress, I’ve…

  • Using Calypso Right Now To Post This

    This is very cool. I’m using the new Calypso engine to post this post to this blog from my desktop. I can definitely see the benefits to having this as my interface, but I also realize it’s still very much in beta. Have you tried Calypso yet? Thoughts? If not, give it a whirl here.

  • Oh that crazy thing called a trainer

    So… I finally got back on the trainer again yesterday. I did 4 miles and called it quits. It’s so boring and dull. I watched a podcast, but still got bored. Suggestions? -Seth

  • I’m Jewish

    (This piece was originally posted on Medium) I’m Jewish. I didn’t live through the Holocaust, but growing up it’s part of my education to NEVER FORGET. I’m Jewish. I don’t hate Muslims. I don’t think they should be banned from the US. I don’t think they should have to register or have to live in…
