Well it&#8217;s official, or at least it feels that way.  I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re going to ever sell the GJG directly to users profitably.  It doesn&#8217;t mean that GJG is a flawed concept, it just means that Chris and I are unable to sell it effectively with our approach.  And [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m very happy my gym has  flat panel tv&#8217;s called Cardio Theater hooked up to all cardio equipment so  I can watch cnn, espn, or sometimes cnbc while either running or exercising on the elliptical trainer.   I am not very happy, though, at how crappy and unreliable the Cardio Theaters seem to be.  [...]]]></description>

I recently finished Thomas Friedman&#8217;s latest book: Hot, Flat, Crowded and I loved it.&#160; He does a great job describing the major problems facing our increasingly hot, flat, and crowded world, which include booming population growth, more energy demand, a changing climate, and rapidly accelerating biodiversity loss.&#160; (Rapidly accelerating biodiversity loss is a topic covered [...]]]></description>

Olivia takes some steps

Originally uploaded by dputty123


This is my niece Olivia working on her walking.  It&#8217;s amazing how quickly big things become little in our daily lives.  I walk a lot, every day, but I know that it has been a very long time since I was this excited to take a few [...]]]></description>

I thought a lot about my mom today.   Julie and her friend were talking about something that happened a few years ago, and they couldn&#8217;t remember what year it occurred.  I said &#8220;well that was before my mom passed away, so it was early 2005.&#8221;  It was strange how normal that statement felt to me.  [...]]]></description>

A friend of mine called me the other day to discuss his plans to leave his job and start a business in a year.  I could feel his excitement, and supported his decision.  But the truth is I didn&#8217;t really believe in his plan, and I don&#8217;t really think he did [...]]]></description>

I think we&#8217;ve all been inspired or excited by some of the many, many stories of people overcoming obstacles in their lives on their way to success.  Thomas Edison&#8217;s 1,000 failed attempts at creating the light bulb is a famous one (&#8221;I didn&#8217;t fail 1,000 [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve written on this speech one, two, or ten times already but for some reason it resurfaced this morning for me. I thought about it a little differently today.  Steve pleads eloquently in the speech for us to blaze a path of passion in our lives:
