It seems that many people are 50/50 on this subject. Many people feel that personal branding is extremely important and can help your business. Others seem to think that personal branding is not important at all and will do nothing to help your business. In my opinion personal branding is important and if done right,…
ColorSplash iPhone App
I’m really not big on paid apps, but if there is one that I think is worth the money I will buy it and check it out. I was looking through my friends Flickr page and noticed a few photos titled ColorSplash and they were black and white with single objects colored in. I noticed…
Celebrating St. Patty's In Pittsburgh
Well St. Patty’s day really isn’t until tomorrow, but the celebrations went on this weekend in Pittsburgh. There were events going on all over the city. We had planned to go to the parade, but we just went to Market Square instead. Market Square is at the intersection of Forbes Avenue and Market Street in…
Follow Friday for March 13, 2009
If you follow me on Twitter you might have noticed that the past few Friday’s I’ve been telling you who I think you should follow on Twitter. Follow Friday started when someone thought it would be a good idea to give a shoutout to the people that they thought were interesting and other people would…
What Gets You Pumped?
Is seems that I talk a lot about motivation on this blog, and that is probably because I do! Motivation is a key thing when you are running your own business. If there is no motivation you tend to not get as much done and you definitely are not as happy. On the other hand…
Working from Panera Bread
I have talked about working from Starbucks before and some other coffee shops, but nowhere else really. The main reason for that is that I usually want coffee when I’m working and in Pittsburgh there really are not that many places you can go, bring a laptop, and get on the internet unless you have…

February 2009 Thoughts
Well if you frequent this blog you know that not much has gone on this month, check out my previous blog entry to see why. This month was a total blur to me, trying to keep up with ThinkComputers and dealing with moving and everything else really made things really stressful. I did make some…
Where Did Bob Go?
Honestly I have been asking myself that same question over and over again. Just a month ago or so I came back from CES and was really charged up to really get things going with ThinkComputers and this blog along with some other things. Well pretty much I’ve had the most unmotivated month of my…
Be Productive on the Road
When I go to conventions and even on vacation I need to have a laptop with me at all times. You never know when the site might go down and you need access to the internet to fix things. Also my sites do not run themselves so I always have to check on things and…
Some Blog Upgrades
The other night started out as finally upgrading WordPress to 2.7, but ended up making some big changes to the blog. The upgrade to WordPress 2.7 went very smoothly, no real issues at all. 2.7 is such a change from 2.6, the entire dashboard and interface is different. It took me a little while to…
January 2009 Thoughts
January was a great month for me, as always in January I headed to Las Vegas for CES. It was great to get away and I had so much fun on that trip. Coming back to Pittsburgh made me realize that I really need to seriously consider moving out to California. There is no point…
Super Bowl Champs!
Although I am a crazy hockey fan, I do enjoy watching football as well. Being from Pittsburgh we usually always have a good team so the games are a lot of fun to watch. This year the Steelers made it all the way to the Super Bowl, the second time in 3 years! Not many…
Working From Home – No Motivation
As I always say there are ups and downs to doing what I do. I work from home, mainly working on ThinkComputers. While to some this may seem like an awesome job, I make my own hours, I’m my own boss, etc. There is 1 thing that is hard to overcome, it’s the lack of…
In-N-Out Burger
In-N-Out Burger is basically a west coast institution, so many people from the west coast are surprised that we don’t have In-N-Out’s here. In-N-Out burger was first opened in 1948 in Baldwin Park, California. Since then it has expanded with restaurants all over California and in Arizona and Nevada too. I was hanging out in…
