That’s the ultimate questions for 2009. I have long said turn off the TV. There are enough great blogs linking to what you need to know that you should save lot’s of hours, headaches and money as we head into 2009 after the most brutal year in stock market history. I am working on a …

I have been in a little writer’s block period for the last month. It’s over now. It’s no fun writing about the broken stock market and the blame game is now at an all-time high mode. This is typical end of bubble bullshit. Fancy editorials about the people and the crimes AFTER THE FACT. But …

I love surfing the web and I love selling. Today my friends are launching Zentact (a Firefox application) which combines the two in a more seamless way (I am an angel investor). I spend all my time on the web and don’t use a CRM or sales product anymore – I used to live on …
