So you got a Business Idea…

I’m not a fan of people who sit around and slack. Moreso, I dislike people who talk about business this, idea that, but don’t actually take action on anything.

Cool Silly, the Brainchild of Tony Chung and Taking the Driver’s Seat

Become a pro. You have a much better chance at sustaining that [...]

As I wrote earlier this month, I bought an iPhone 3G in Hong Kong and have been totally digging the experience.  One of the applications I use daily on my iPhone is Skype.  It is a free [...]
