If you're anything like I used to be, getting regular exercise is a chore that you have a hard time sticking to for long. Hopefully my experience slaying that dragon will help. (Plus, you can download a free script I created to help near the end of this post.)

I'd known for years that I...

Over the past year or two, I've gotten some pretty decent stuff for free: a piano, a 48" rear projection TV, a 17" computer monitor, a file cabinet, some shelves, a couple pickup loads of lumber, etc.

The way I do it is I go to craigslist and subscribe to the "free stuff" category in...

2008 has been quite a year. I wasn't able to finish one big project I'd hoped to complete (I still need to learn to manage distractions better), but the year has seen a number of good developments, both business and personal. Here are some highlights:

My efforts to make "internet marketing guru" contacts that starte...

Russell Brunson's Zero to $100 Million Challenge started last week. I've been (and still am) pretty busy, so I just got around to joining today.

I've been following Russell and his company since last year a little before I launched my Guru Stalker website, and based on what I've already learned from him, I'm very...

I may as well say it before someone else does -- I'm a greedy S.O.B.! And by "greedy", I mean that I'd like to pay off credit cards, family members and medical bills and start saving some money.

Why am I hearing Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick singing "I'm a Goofy Goober" in my head? Oh...

I just got done playing "Olympic Baseball" with my five year old. I hit the ball and he handed out medals.

If the ball (his little plastic ball, pitched by his little popup toy) hit the fence, I got a bronze. If it cleared the fence into the back yard, I got silver. And if...

During the last summer olympics, NBC seemed to think we'd be more interested in watching their biographical vignettes than the athletes' performances. It was the low point in a string of olympics that made me really wish they didn't have the exclusive U.S. broadcasting rights. And I really didn't like Bob Costas.

Based on this...

When a store goes above and beyond the call of duty, I always feel like giving them a shout out.

Today, I finally got around to exchanging my birthday present from back in June (or was it a fathers day present? The two are so close--sometimes the same day--that I forget). My wife had gotten...

It's 1:30 am, and I just came in from checking out Jupiter and four of its moons in my little telescope. It was even cooler than when I first looked at Saturn just after getting the telescope a few months ago.

The moment it appeared in the eyepiece, before even focusing, I immediately recognized what...

I think I got stung by a wasp yesterday. You're probably thinking that's not how people usually describe the experience, so let me explain.

My brother in law brought some fireworks over yesterday including a few of the kind that shoot out parachutes. The two big ones were amazing -- there's wasn't that much of...
