(9+2)*5 a slightly more productive hack 1

It’s been one of those weeks, 16+ hour days, nose to the grindstone, no time to think about anything but the work that’s due RIGHT NOW kind of weeks, but thankfully it’s Friday - I think I’ve discovered one of those personal productivity gem that only surfaces when you’re busy.
All week I’ve whittled away at […]

Nonstop workout mixes Comments Off

‘T’ and I are going to brave the heat (and pollen) and start walking outside again tonight - we’ve been a bit occupied with the house remodel and haven’t done much walking as of late - I decided to pump up my workout with some new music - I discovered the amazing podcast ‘PodRunner’ a […]

ISO Buffalo Wings Comments Off

Confession time, I’m a buffalo wing lover - I spent a substantial amount of time seeking out the tastiest buffalo wings in my little hamlet of Philadelphia — generally the wings I found sucked, but I also found some awesome wings, and like a good wingman - I’m going to hook you up.

The Lost Art of Customer Service 2

This post was born from aggravation over the last 4 days ‘T’ and I have had some of the worst customer service imaginable, you really have to wonder if a store or restaurant wants your business at all -
Our first stop is (of all places) The Apple Store (King of Prussia Mall) - Standing […]

Workflow redux 3

On any given day I have 100 things I have to remember and keep track of, projects, phone calls, email, appointments, conference calls - it’s a constant battle, I’m a devot ‘Todoist’ user (www.todoist.com), have been for at least 4 months, now that may seem like an insignificant amount of time but in the world […]
