Are You an Entrepreneur? What Makes You Tick?
I’m currently reading How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas by David Bornstein. There was a particularly interesting paragraph regarding the need for achievement and its relation to entrepreneursip that was heavily influenced by findings by David C.

Here are the 6th through the 10th sentences on the 56th page: Fertility is … Continue reading
How Does a CEO Survive without a BlackBerry?
I have no clue, but it looks like Barack Obama is going to have to figure it out as President of the United States. There’s a good article in the New York Times that gives some good background.
This is INSANE
I don’t know about you, but I can’t imagine wearing a flying suit and going extreme base jumping. Talk about crazy — it’s about as close to flying as you can get.
Obama to Broadcast Weekly Radio Address on YouTube
This is awesome. Obama is going to put the weekly radio address on YouTube once in office. I love transparency and the government needs a lot more of it — and it seems Obama will give it to us.
