Tonight I’m having my first party in a long time. Yesterday preparing for it I had one of those insecure moments most people have at some point in their lives. Did I pick the right food? The right drink? Will my costume be ok? Does the house look ok? Maybe the music isn’t diverse enough…I [...]
I know, it’s hard to believe but I swear Steve Rubel said something relevant. He’s dead on and it reminds me of his writings from a couple of years ago. I would have missed it completely if Dave Winer didn’t link to it. What a great way to start the morning.
The bubble really began in [...]
The internet has become a very social place in the past year or so. Social networks are popping up, tools are being created to communicate quickly (but not necessarily more efficiently), and the options on where to communicate are numerous. From these interactions friendships, romances, business partnerships, etc. are being formed. No matter what the [...]
With the launch Ali2 I noticed my daily tasks changed…a lot. I needed to take an objective look at what I needed to accomplish during the day and organize things a bit. I noticed my tasks fell into four categories:

From time to time the guys and I talk about what we want in life, our goals, etc. Sometimes it comes up in Notes. Last month in Notes, there was a discussion about life plans. Mike wants to travel and be a millionaire by 25. Scrivs wants success and a cool family. I want success, [...]
When I talk about things I might compare them to online situations but in truth, these things can be applied to many aspects of our lives. I prefer tactics that work in more than one place.
If you understand who you “really” are, and you realize to reach goals it takes discipline and ambition…how can those [...]
Seems like an odd question, doesn’t it? Who knows you better than you know yourself, right? The easy questions are sometimes the hardest to answer. Most people “think” they know themselves but are not honest about who they truly are. Why? Who they are and who they would like to be clash.

If you write long enough you’ll get to a point where you might get tired of talking about the same thing, your focus has changed, you matured, etc.
That is where I’m at in my life, again. Finding my “voice”. I want to talk, I have a diverse range of interests – yet when I write [...]
