I have been working on Apple equipment since the Apple II+. I ran a Mac computer consulting company for ten years. I have seen much of the good and bad that has come from Apple over the years. I think that this Operating system version is the best Apple has ever released.

I read an awesome book recently that made me rethink many things about location, work, and business. It was Tim Ferriss’ book which I highly recommend.
“ “The 4-Hour work Week: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich” (Timothy Ferris)
I recently had reason to head to Paris for [...]
Here are two interesting articles: one from Glenn Kelman, and a follow on from Guy Kawasaki on why serial entrepreneurs might not in fact be the best bet for funders. Interesting perspectives and I recognize some of Guy’s cautions from my own experience.

Today was my first weekday in the city. Unfortunately, there are no Crossfit gyms here in Paris. Seems like a business opportunity to me. There are about 30 gyms in downtown Paris, 22 of which are one chain.
The first gym I found was actually a combination gay sauna, bar, and weight [...]
Hi all,
Here are some pictures from Day 1 in Paris. I’ll be working and living here for the next two weeks. My blogging application is acting a bit weird so the images are all really small. I’ll try to fix it for the next posts.
Here is Olivier at the Eiffel Tower. [...]
Last night, my good friend Ean Jackson and I had the pleasure of speaking at the Canadian Public Relations Society on PR 2.0.
