• My 2009.1 Goals

    That’s not a typo. I just read over the last couple years of goal posts and realized something,I need to be working on my goals in smaller chunks because my life changes too quickly for yearlong goals. As one guy said in the comments last year, I sorta suck at goal setting. So this year…

  • Every Day is Equal

    Yesterday was Christmas. I spent it in New Jersey with my parents, sister, aunt, uncle, and three of my cousins. We played board games (Scattergories!), ate Christmas dinner together, and I “helped” my cousins play with their new toys they got for Christmas. And then, in between those events, I did two hours of Japanese…

    The Books are Here

    If you ordered a book, it will be shipped tomorrow morning. If you didn’t order one, then you can buy them on Amazon now. Thanks a lot to everyone who ordered,I hope you enjoy your book! Here’s a picture I took before packaging them up (and spending forever signing them and writing on the envelopes).…

  • Notes from Seth Godin’s Site

    My sleep schedule is unusual. I generally go to bed an hour later each day until finally I’m going to bed way too late and I end up just staying up a full 36 hours or so to reset the schedule. And that’s where I’m at now. So to fill my day and keep myself…

  • Waiting for the Perfect Moment

    Everyone’s waiting for the right time for something. The right time to quit their job, the right time to ask her out, the right time to travel, or the right time to start a new project. In a little over a week I leave Austin until June. I have a LOT to do. More than…

  • My First TV Interview!

    I had the foresight to go to bed early last night so that I’d be well rested for my interview. Then I stayed up until about five am tossing and turning, imagining her questions, and answering them. “Well, Jenny…” When my alarm went off at 8 I bolted up. I drank some delicious acerola cherry…

  • Outliers

    I just finished Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Outliers. I always like reading Gladwell’s books, but mainly as entertainment. It’s that sort of smart writing that makes you feel like you’re learning something important, even though the main purpose of the book is for entertainment. Still, with any book I read I generally try to come up…

  • Make Her Chase You is Now a Paperback

    Make Her Chase You is Now a Paperback

    I’ve finally finished making Make Her Chase You into a paperback. I’ve been selling it as an ebook for the past year and a half or so and refining it and adding to it. After one last edit I finally felt like it was good enough to be put into a permanent format. I also…

  • Judging

    A couple weeks ago I was waiting at the bus stop to go to the airport. A two businessmen were joking around on the bench. I stood nearby, practicing Japanese on my phone. One of them gave up on the late bus after a while so I started talking to the other one. He was…

  • My Sites Will Be in Good Hands

    Ever since my last post e-mails have poured in and I probably have about 4-5 solid contenders for each site. A lot of people have mentioned recently how much they like Best in the Land. The good news is that it will definitely be started up again soon, as will Daily 15. The only bad…
