The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz

In: People, Reading, Reviews

The full title of the book is: The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less, How the Culture of Abundance Robs Us of Satisfaction. Here it is on Amazon.
Devin determined… this book is a must-read. Some parts get a little complicated for just a quick read. But, at 240 pages this is a a fun [...]

Brazen Careerist is a must-read

In: Business, Careers, College, Reading, Reviews

One of my favorite blogs to read is is called Brazen Careerist, by Penelope Trunk. She’s a syndicated career columnist that I’ve been following for a few months now. I point my friends to her articles, cite her ideas in conversation and now I’ve had a chance to read her new book: Brazen Careerist: The [...]

Review: P-Touch PT-18R Label Maker

In: Improvement, Organization, Reviews

Much like Lifehacker has featured some great geek toys lately, I had a neat toy come into my Inbox from ReviewMe (I was paid to review this labelmaker). I chose to play with this labelmaker because a) I needed an excuse to start re-organizing my file cabinet, b) I love to make labels, and c) [...]

I’m sick and drinking tea

In: Business, Entertainment, Fun, Improvement, Reviews

I magically got a little sick (I never get sick). My throat hurts. It’s not good. Luckily I’m a guy and it’s okay for me to clear my throat profusely about a dozen times an hour. Additionally, we’re allowed to spit up anything we find back there. Gross? Sure. Sense of relief? Definitely. Anyway, one [...]

I was pointed to an interesting mobile service earlier last week named MoVoxx. The describe themselves as the “first localized mobile alerts platform that extends traditional static advertising offers to a dynamic mobile network.” What on Earth does that mean…

Joost Review

In: Entertainment, Reviews, Software, Technology

I’ve had the pleasure of testing out a new product (previously named “The Venice Project”) that will, perhaps, revolutionize the way we experience “television” in the coming years. From the creators of Skype (free online calls) comes Joost (free online TV). Is it awesome? Yes. Is it in a closed beta? Yes. But will I [...]

BlackBerry 8100 Pearl Review

In: Communication, Internet, Noteworthy, Reviews

I bought a new toy. I told myself, “hey, you spent a lot of time watching TV and sitting around over Winter Break, you deserve it, buddy.” And who am I to argue with myself? I’ve always been a big fan of bar phones (as opposed to flip, slide, and anymotionthatmaybreaksomeday phones). So, I went [...]

Save Money in College

In: College, Money, Reviews, Websites

I’ve been asked to review (sponsored) an awesome resource put together by Daniel Kovach of Scholarships Around the U.S. First off, his site is an amazing place for students to find information on financial aid. He has a lot of opportunities (Paul won money as a student blogger) and a lot of good information including [...]

Facebook Toolbar: First Glance

In: College, Internet, Reviews

I was greeted with an invitation to install the new Facebook Toolbar (Firefox only). I must say, this is exactly what I needed. I wrote earlier about how to eliminate distractions and this is, ironically, a great way to do it. You don’t spend countless times during the day logging in to see if there [...]

me.dium

In: Communication, Internet, People, Reviews, Websites

David Cohen from ColoradoStartups.com pointed to a neat tool today. It’s called me.dium and it’s a browser tool that tracks your surfing behavior and helps you determine relevant sites near you. While browsing you have the option of viewing your me.dium map. This map shows sites “near” you in terms of relevancy. The relevancy [...]
