Cube Escape has a couple of changes coming soon. First, I’ll be finding a new theme for the site. This theme has been pretty good to me, but I think I want something a little more flexible. Instead of spending the time to edit this theme or write my own, I’m just going to find [...]
Running a business isn’t for everyone. Some people are scared to death of it — the work, the responsibility, the investments. Others are just comfortable in their jobs and don’t want to leave. Some think that they are so far in debt they feel they can’t afford to take the risk of running a company [...]
If you want to jump in the business of ecommerce, opening up an online shop might be the thing for you. Many successful (and a few flat-out rich) internet entrepreneurs got their start selling goods online. Some started with eBay, while others opened up a shop that catered to a niche they really like.
Think it’s [...]
I picked up a 16gb iPod Touch this weekend. I got it basically to be a PDA with great music capabilities. I wasn’t really sure how the PDA functionality of it would compare with a traditional PDA. After using it for a few days, I can already tell that it will be invaluable as a [...]
Working for yourself is great. I recently read an article in MacLife (I think that was the one — it was on a stack) that said a bad day working for yourself is better than a great day at the cube farm. That’s paraphrased, of course. While that is not universally true, I have found [...]
A week ago, while eating pecan pie, I had a revelation. For it to make sense, however, I’ll have to explain something. You know all the sports that so many people in this country seem so obsessed with? I don’t like them. I find them incredibly boring. I never knew why, exactly. All I knew [...]

I haven’t written anything here for a while because I’ve been working hard on a project. Too hard, any observer would say, but it had to be done.
I’ve finished the first development milestone (which was also the biggest) of the redesign of my career education directory. All other projects went on hold until that milestone [...]

Not all work places are created equal. Here are some signs that it might be time to leave yours behind. Disclaimer: I have not personally experienced all of these, but I have experienced some of them. Others I have just observed or thought up in my brain.
You count the days until the next weekend, but [...]

I’m 31 and I’m going to retire this year. Bold claim, isn’t it? Well, it’s true. But let me back up just a moment so you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. In general, the American work force is completely lame. Now, I’m not talking about any individual workers or groups of workers or anything [...]
