I travel well over half the year in my business. While it is important to have internet access, it is even more important to have battery power for all of my devices. I carry a cell phone, an IPOD, a laptop and even an Emwave Personal Stress Reducer. All of them run of out juice …

I usually don’t like a band’s follow up record as much as their smash debut. They are often cobbled together too quickly and lack the life experience of their breakthrough record — which ususally came from years of thinking and writing.

I just love it when a ten or twenty year old band releases a vital record that vibrates with energy. Mostly, you have to rely on fresh bands and their debut albums to experience the urgency that makes rock music great. Three elders of rock have moved me in the last year. Each record reconnects …

Luckily for me, I finally sat down with my family and watched The Secret last night. We couldn’t watch anymore news coverage or mindless sitcom or reality programming. The Secret’s concept is simple: Think thoughts that are positive, focus on feeling good. If you do, you’ll attract good into your life. Focus on what you …

NBC did not do the socially responsible thing with their prize package (the video manifesto of the killer). One expert calls their decision a “social catastrophy” — read the article here. Now Cho Seung-Hui’s video is being played millions of times on TVs, laptops and PCs, some of them owned by future school shooters. He’s …
