Great Scott!
Posted on October 30th, 2009 @ 9:28 am
One of my programmers just told me to check out today’s xkcd comic. He claimed it was curiously appropriate for me, considering I’m dressed up as Marty McFly from Back to the Future II for Halloween.
Not Doc Brown
Random BTTF related funny story: I came home one day and my kids were running around saying “Great Scott!” I thought it was hilarious, Leann didn’t. Turns out the got it from Oswald, and not Back to the Future. Ah, well.

I need help from business owner bloggers
Posted on October 4th, 2009 @ 6:25 pm
I need help from some business owner bloggers for my blogging book. It doesn’t matter if you have already blogged extensively, or have just barely set up a blog.
What you have to do:
- Blog on an assigned topic
What you will get out of it:
- The blog topic
- Free copy of my book
- Free publicity in my book
If this is something that interests you at all, and you are a blog owner with a blog already set up (does not matter if you have an entry already or not), contact me and send me the following:
- Your blog’s website address
- A brief description of your business
- Why you should be included
I have no clue what the response will be to this. I have a limited number of chapters to fill. It’s possible some people will help with multiple topics. It’s also possible I’ll have to turn some people down.
Thanks in advance for all the help!
Efficiency of hairstylists
Posted on October 1st, 2009 @ 10:46 am
This was Josh's first haircut by Hether, back in 2005. For some reason, I don't have an extensive gallery of pictures with myself and Hether in them.
Over a year ago, I stopped cutting my own hair and started going to a hairstylist. There are huge advantages to both a stylist over a barber, and definitely a stylist over myself, especially with the place I go to.
- I can make an appointment. No waiting, and it just fits easily into my schedule.
- It’s (now) less than a five minute drive from my office.
- Hether, my stylist, washes my hair too, so I’m good to go for my next meeting without going home to shower.
- It took me about 20-30 minutes to cut my own, including shower and everything. I’m only gone from my office for about 15-20 minutes, total.
- The price isn’t too far off from a barber.
- My wife pays for me when she goes in. So technically, I never pay for a haircut anymore.
- We won’t get into the waxing…
Of course, a disadvantage over cutting my own as home is that I can’t get a haircut in the buff. At least, that’s what Hether told me this morning.
