About Jackson: Love the kid. He’s intense, but I love him. And I’m learning that the more time I carve out for him, the better he likes me. We live in a low media house; H and I are on the Internet a ton, but we don’t spend more than an hour a week staring at the tube.
And I spent a lot of time with Jack, but not enough time hanging out with him, doing what he wants, and focusing on him. The point? If you’re a dad, spend one on one time with your kids. Just letting ‘em be kids. It’ll enrich you, bring you close together. Big changes are possible in two weeks. Jack absolutely, positively is happier when I hang out and deliberately carve 20-30 minutes a day for him.
And let’s seriously think about this: Does he need an Ipod? No. Toys? Barely. But he needs attention. I swear that I’ll never molify him with videos or toys. He needs attention, and friendship and love. SRSLY folks.
About BHB: Couldn’t be more stoked to be up there. Thanks to a glowing post by BB about my book that’s STILL just $13.50. But seriously? My bootstrapping ethos is gonna fit in just fine. Market yourself, serve your clients, do things with purpose and not as an echo of a broken industry. Good message.
About SalesTwit: Big post for bill rice coming up in a little bit. Holy crap. It’s cool. It’s novel. And if it throws some todos and someday/maybes in my twitter feed? Crap. Go get to Bill Rice and get him to get you an invite. I can’t wait to see who it connects me with this week. Putting people in your twitterfeed to remind you to ‘go ahead and give ‘em a call.”

I’ve fallen off of the GTD Wagon. I’ve got about 8 books almost finished, but the D part of the GTD stuff is vexing me. GTAD is where I’ve been. (A= almost)
So with that said, I might check in on Mark Anderrsen’s Simplified GTD. I like having a schedule though. It rocks.
And also, my weight loss has taken a turn for the better. I’m back on the wagon and weeks away from unveiling a thinner, happier picture of me. And it might even be in color, who knows. I’ve gotta get seriously fit to win the game I’m entering.

Need to do a weekly review and turn up the heat on churning stuff out. Google Notebook rocks, but I wish wish wish you could hit ALT-N from anywhere.
Also, I picked up scads of new readers. Say hi in the comments.
