Whole Latte Love has awesome customer service

Over the past 3-4 years I’ve pretty much ordered a case of Illy coffee from Whole Latte Love every 6 months. They always send super nice email newsletters and sale notices and there is always, always some sort of discount code. Recently I found a Minneapolis coffee roaster that the Illy beans just can’t compete [...]

Mac App I Can’t Live Without: info.xhead

I have 63 username/password entries in info.xhead. How is one supposed to remember 50+ logins to different sites? And those are only the ones I have to write down because for whatever reason they wouldn’t let me use my usual username/password combinations. Anyway I couldn’t live without info.xhead.

Running on the Beach

Is going to be my new phrase for work that is hard, and probably harder than it needs to be but is rewarding and worth it in the end. I’ve been running on the beach most mornings in Cancun and it’s very hard but it feels great when it’s over. I always thought people running [...]

Elite Retreat 2009 Post-Post

Elite Retreat was truly an incredible event this year, again. We say it was better than last year every year not to diminish the year before, but because the quality really does rise significantly every time.

In case you don’t get it… Charge Back Guardian is a company that processes credit card payments and helps to prevent chargebacks. Presumably if you’re selling an iffy product you’d want [...]

Late to the Party Part 6, I discover Del.icio.us

So I know I’m late to the party. Really late. I was cleaning up my desk the other day in preparation to move, and I found this fantastic article about olive oil sitting on my desk. My Dad had given it to me, and I wanted to save it but I didn’t want this thing [...]

Borrow My Copy of The Dip

Seth Godin made a post today asking people to share their copy of The Dip. I can’t think of anyone locally to pass it to, and I liked this post by Bob Poole, so I’m going to send my copy to the first commenter requesting it. Same rule applies though, that you agree to pass [...]

How to Get Less Email

I’ve grown tired recently of my phone constantly beeping because I’ve got new email. I’d say about 50% of the time its some newsletter or something I don’t care about. The thing is…the solution is so simple. I’ve started unsubscribing from all the crap. Really, it’s easy. For a week or so, make a point [...]
