And ... http://yamabe.net/2008/07/06/my-brother-is-married/ Escape from Cubicle Nation is a blog I read because it focuses on helping employees become entrepreneurs (my goal). It often becomes "new age" self-helpish. I guess that's to be expected because when you start to from the perspective that you're going to do it all yourself, positive thinking and ... http://yamabe.net/2008/07/02/escape-from-cubicle-nation-sick-of-feeling-stuck-focus-on-the-greater-good/ I often wonder if my kinder graduate listens to me.

I met the my 3 girls in the parking lot and the Medium ... http://yamabe.net/2008/03/14/thats-what-im-talking-about/ I've dreamed for a long time about running my own software business. I've kicked around lots of product ideas, and I've even implemented some of them. But I've never hit on anything that would generate an income that would support my family. The success literature I've read says that turning your ... http://yamabe.net/2008/03/11/a-goal-is-a-dream-with-a-plan/ I found a page that list some of the more common "Japanese" words that are used with babies.
