One of the most interesting points Gary Vaynerchuk made durring my interview with him was that he predicts Social Media is entering a “bubble” much like the web did just before the “dot com crash”. Right now, everyone thinks they “need social media”, but few even know what that means (or just how wrong it

Resolutions are a funny thing. People are amazing at convincing themselves that “tomorrow it will be different”, that “this year the weight is coming off”, and that magically their lifestyle, choices, and general habits will just *poof* change… just like that.

There is something about learning a new skill. When beginning there is no way to anticipate the trips, stumbles, and hang-ups that will undoubtedly find their way to the path in front of you.

As a result Firefox crashed in a way unfamiliar to me. As I began to tinker with the two fresh problems that materialized from nowhere an all to common ‘WOOOOM’ chimed from the laptop speakers informing me that I had under 10 minutes of power remaining unless I plugged it in.
