To me, “business is life and life is business.” Business has become the primary vehicle for my growth and contribution. It’s the vehicle that has taught me more about human psychology, myself, connection, people, values, courage, creativity, meaning, self-empowerment and even sexuality than anything else. My parents were the reason I went into business

Nowadays, trying to track a large inventory of products manually is unnecessarily wasteful. Barcodes, originally pioneered by grocery stores (we’re all familiar with the barcode scanner at the checkout line), are being used in warehouses everywhere to better track and better understand their inventories. How does barcoding help you better track your inventory?

This is just a quick entry to thank all of you who responded to my recent travails as I once again got into a death match and barely made it out intact.. well, sort of. I now sport a new right jaw that almost matches my former “new” left jaw and incredible swelling that will take a few weeks to subside.

Crystal Reports has been a part of Visual Basic since 1993, and a part of Visual Studio since its first release in 2002. Crystal Reports has been a very successful component of these products. With the release of Visual Studio 2010, SAP and Microsoft have mutually decided to change how we deliver this important component to the .NET developer community going forward

One objection that people always raise against Ajax applications concerns browser history. Because an Ajax application updates its content by performing sneaky Ajax postbacks, the browser backwards and forwards buttons don’t work as you would normally expect. In a normal, non-Ajax application, when you click the browser back button, you return to a previous state of the application.

Today, in continuation of my impromptu celebration of the end of all things, I want to discuss the many different images of the end portrayed in movies. So many times over the years a new movie is released that *gasp* is about the end of the world as we know it. And I gotta tell you, I fall for it ever time. I guess there is just something fascinating about the idea of the destruction of our many accomplishments. Well, fascinating enough to make movies about it. Many, many movies in fact. The first post-apocalyptic movie I remember seeing was The Road Warrior staring a very young Mel Gibson. I know technically Mad Max was first but, lets be honest, that movie was pretty boring. I can hear people disagreeing with me already on that point, but I am gonna stick with it. Anyway, for me the post-apocalypse meant long desert roads, punks with mohawks and football armor, a sawed-off shotgun, and Mel Gibson looking like a freaking badass, even when he gets all messed and limps around with one eye swollen shut. And the car! A modified 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe (an Australian car) complete with a blower and side pipes. My blood starts pumping just thinking about it. I even had a Matchbox car that I used to pretend was Max’s, although it was actually a 1970 Dodge Challenger with a huge and unrealistic blower sprouting from the hood. I can’t tell you how many times I recreated (with Matchbox cars) the many different scenes from The Road Warrior. Yeah, I loved it that much. The next movie that comes to mind dealing with the end of the world is The Terminator, with my all-time favorite action star, Arnold Schwarzenegger. As everyone knows (if you have never seen this movie, or any of the sequels, shame on you) the end of the world in The Terminator is brought about by mankind itself. In what would become a very popular storyline, mankind creates artificial intelligence which then gains sentience and immediately begins the eradication of humanity. I mean, it really is the only logical thing to do. And sentient robots are, of course, completely logical beings. In The Terminator, and all of the sequels (except the last one), my favorite parts were always the flashbacks (or flash-forwards…time travel makes my head hurt) where the fight against the machines were depicted. For years I wished for a movie about the actual war with the machines, not the war between two machines that were sent back in time to the present. Well, I got my wish finally with Terminator Salvation. Unfortunately, as often happens with big budget, over-hyped movies, I thought it kinda sucked. I mean, after watching the trailers I thought the movie was gonna be mostly about John Connor, not some other guy who, surprise surprise, turns out to be a machine himself. If I were to judge on acting skills, I would have said that Christian Bale was the robot. I did think that the CG Arnold that appears near the end of the movie was pretty cool, especially since he seemed so much bigger than Arnold ever was. My favorite part of the entire series, however, was at the end of Terminator 3 when the nuclear war actually happens. In my mind that made all three movies up to that point kind of pointless since the nuclear holocaust they were trying to prevent happened anyway.

I just reviewed the line – up for UFC 112 on April 10 th . I’m excited again! As usual, the UFC has delivered another great night of stellar athletes to entertain us in the octagon. This event takes place in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This is the first event that will take place out in the open. Will sandstorms or stifling heat interfere with the fighter’s cardio or focus? At first, I thought I’d seen enough UFC with 3 major events already since March 21 st , but then I remembered that Anderson Silva and BJ Penn are showing up on the same card.

Semen is a subject that everyone can relate to or at some point has thought about it. This post is all about semen and the source is a wonderful website called onlineschools.org. Perhaps an alternative name for this terrific site could be, “Things they should have taught you in school but didn’t.” With the subtext being, ”learning in an interesting and exciting way.” What I learned about semen after visiting onlineshools.org: 1

We have seen a lot of inspiring galleries featuring letterpress business cards on white card stock. And we fully agree that they look stunning and very elegant, especially those that make use of the minimalist approach in design. To balance the equation, we decided to come up with our own gallery of letterpress business cards printed on black stock.

When I travel, I use my laptop to work; I write, I diagram, I create presentations , and catch up on email. The iPad, however, was announced as coming with (or having available) software for word processing (Pages), diagramming (OmniGraffle), presentations (Keynote), and email (Mail).

All these thoughts about a Zombie Apocalypse have got me thinking. Of course, the fact that the mini-series The Stand was on the other day might also have something to do with it. Plus I watched a teaser trailer for the up and coming Fallout game New Vegas. Ah, the end of the world. There’s nothing better to dedicate my thoughts to on a lazy day off than the end of the world.
