I’m a huge comic book fan. And although I don’t use my allowance on comics anymore (what with a mortgage, young child, new house and other assorted fun stuff) I’m still in love with comics. The essence of the comic is the superhero. Really, it’s about lots of different characters, their funky powers and how […]

Does Multitasking Really Make You More Productive?
Can you walk and chew gum at the same time? Of course you can!

What Should You Trust?
Trust your gut. It’s not always easy, but your instincts, those that sit in the pit of your gut, are usually right. Hopefully your gut doesn’t look like that one, but even if it does, trust it.
