Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
As you may have noticed, I have been an absentee blogger, as of late. Why, you may ask? I'm not sure that I can begin to answer that question, but it's due, in large part to the fact that I started my own business last October (right after finishing the web design program at BCIT) …
{Photo via Flickr user Xipe Totec39.} I mentioned at the beginning of January that I wasn't going to drink that month. Well, six weeks later, I thought I would let you know how it went. I decided to quit because late last year I read a couple of articles that encouraged me to try not …
