As mentioned in yesterday’s post, I wanted to see how long it would take to teach Google the term “failure germaphobe.” It only took about 24 hours. This site now ranks #1 on Google for “failure germaphobe”. As an unexpected side-effect, it’s now also #1 on just plain germaphobe.

If you work really hard to achieve your goals but don’t enjoy the journey, you’re delaying the essence of life. Committing to your goals doesn’t mean you slave away at work you dislike, celebrating only the destination. A real abiding commitment means that you love what you do each day. You are […]
Thank you to Arthur Langereis for helping me discover and fix a Firefox compatibility issue this site was having. It was ultimately caused by an outdated doctype tag. I just checked the site in the latest versions of Firefox and IE, and everything looks good now.
