What Excites Me About The 4 Hour Work Week?

  • July 13, 2010 8:59 am

What excites me about a four hour work week?  A four hour work week vs. a 40 hour one, hellooooo!  Tim Ferriss’ book, The 4 Hour Work Week, has revolutionized my thinking.  The premise of the book is that we can do more with less effort and less time invested.  Tim writes with a decidedly Eastern bent, which, challenges my Western mindset when it comes to how I understand Life’s daily grind.  Self help gurus and propaganda repulse me.  My radar is set on a hair trigger.  This is not a self help book, but a text book for streamlining life, both business and personal.

This started out as a brief recommendation of Tim Ferriss’ book, The 4 Hour Work Week, but then I found I could highlight a few other of my favorite things through our Amazon affiliation.  They provided the widget below which I was able to customize.  I’m sure this list will continue to evolve.  You can read a few pages from Tim’s book there or check out some of the other items.

Let me know what interests you.  What are your favorite movies, bands, books, and gadgets.  Let me know in the comments.

This graphic is from an InsideFacebook article about Facebook Connect, but for me the picture spoke more than the article.  It was a visual punctuation of the ubiquity of Facebook.  It goes with us on our mobile phones, it's our companion on our gaming consoles, it's a stand alone application on our desktops, and it's there for us on the web like a trusted friend as it has been from the start.  It will be exciting to watch the socialsphere as more and more seemingly non-related entities integrate aspects of social media.

What is Google Profiles?

  • February 1, 2010 5:04 pm
What is Google Profiles?  Profiles, simply put, is a way for you to summarize yourself and your online activities into a searchable biographical brief. Google describes it this way:

A Google profile is simply how you present yourself on Google products to other Google users. It allows you to control how you appear on Google and tell others a bit more about who you are. With a Google profile, you can easily share your web content on one central location. You can include, for example, links to your blog, online photos, and other profiles such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and more. You have control over what others see. Your profile won't display any private information unless you've explicitly added it

Below is a screen shot from the Google's Profiles page.  You should really go there and soak up every little detail.  Google has so much to offer.  It's free.  How nice it that.  I'd love to hear your comments on this after you look this over, so hit me up.  I want to hear your voice on this.

  1. Receive messages.
  2. Add photos.
  3. Create a page about you.
  4. Add your contact information.
  5. Add links to your other profiles and sites.
  6. Show your location.
