Prince at the Forum

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 3:06pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Great things:

Prince and his gigantic catalog of hits. I'm sure your aware of it. How many artists and even sub genres have come and gone since he came on the scene?

Prince's sense of showmanship. The stage was shaped like that symbol, there were dancers, hella costume changes, lights, video screens, etc. The guy's a pretty good dancer too.

Happy people act happy. Everyone in the massive crowd was in a good mood and very polite. It is such a contrast…

I'm reading a book called Market Wizards right now and several of the people featured mentioned keeping a trading journal, as did Stan Weinstein in… Continue

#21 Cooked by Chef Jeff Henderson

Posted on June 19, 2010 at 1:30pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

Cooked is about Chef Jeff Henderson, a brother who went from baller status in the San Diego drug underworld to federal incarceration to running kitchens at Vegas hot spots like the Bellagio and Ceasar's Palace and having a show on the food network.

He also goes into that same sort of detail when he writes about kitchens and… Continue

Found this on the flash drive. It was taken from the best of Craigslist, author unknown. I recognize some of the ideas and terminology from Dr. Phil, but who knows where he got it from. Maybe someone else can gain some insight from it...

Strategy: Become one of those who gets it.

It's easy to tell these people apart. Those who "get it" understand how things work and have a strategy to create… Continue

site tech problems

Posted on December 30, 2009 at 2:40am 2 Comments 0 Likes

using a mac with firefox and tonight safari

problems...

sporadic rejection of posts. Sometimes posts show up, other times the spinning icon slows to a speed reminiscent of dialup. I usually give up after about 2 minutes. Tried sending an email related to this, but the same thing happened.

Sometimes when I go to reply to a post, no text box appears and the icons on the page stretch out.

Is it just me?
