My friend Russell turned me on to magicJack about a year or so ago. He also evangelized it to several other people I know and about 4-months ago I decided to buy one myself. I was able to get 5 years of VOIP phone service through my desktop, or laptop when I travel, for under [...]

It’s not often that I share something here that I write for other blogs. I just published a new article on the SharePoint Solutions blog entitled, “Training – Whose Responsibility Is It?” And no, it’s not an article about SharePoint training.
As an educator, I see all types of people seeking training. Even more so, I [...]

When I’m working in my home office, I access my laptop via Remote Desktop (RDP). My desktop has dual monitors and I find it easier to use my laptop this way.

I recently upgraded the hard drive in my Dell Dimension E210. It came with an 80Gb hard drive and it has served me well for the past 3-1/2 years. However, as I’ve been doing more with audio, especially for the Mindful Worship web site, I’ve been filling it up. I was in a meeting and [...]

When I was first started studying these methodologies I became very active on several of the Getting Things Done online forums and even started one of the popular discussion groups. I met a lot of wonderful [...]

Most of my readers know that I’m very active in my local Toastmasters group. We’re trying to get the word out about an upcoming workshop that is open to the public, so I’m posting it here in case anyone is interested. If you have questions, feel free to ask me. I hope some of you [...]

I first met Steve Pavlina probably back in 2003 on the DavidCo discussion boards where many of us gathered to help each other understand and implement David Allen’s Getting Things Done methodologies. I was especially intrigued by some Personal Productivity articles he shared on his Dexterity Software web site. When he started his own Personal [...]

With the current drop in our financial markets, I’ve been considering taking some money out of my IRA to invest in my business. Who am I kidding? I first asked my financial advisor about this about two years ago. She had indicated there was a significant tax hit, around 30%-40%, and I just really didn’t [...]
