I have to say, with all of the hype surrounding the iPad, many people forgot that 2010 was also the year that Apple introduced the latest and greatest MacBook Air. Now, I may be late to the game with this review, but having just picked up one, I can’t help but put up a quick [...]

I’m inspired to write this post heavily by Seth Godin’s Linchpin. In this book, [...]

by Pete Czech on 14 March, 2011 in Personal, Work/Industry
I was watching 60 Minutes tonight (not the night this post will appear) and saw a segment about homeless children. Basically, there is an ongoing problem where kids are suffering with their parents and losing their homes. They are then moving into motels or even living in cars while still attending public schools. It’s a [...]
Are You Looking To Do Something Or Looking For Something To Do?
by Pete Czech on 6 March, 2011 in Work/Industry
The absolute most irritating thing I’ve ever seen in business are those that are playing “businessman” instead of actually accomplishing anything.
