Creative Phone Book Art Is As Easy As A Strikethrough

I have found that it is easy to be creative once you know what you want to be creative with. What I mean to express is that finding something to be creative with is probably harder than to come up with something creative once you have picked your outlet. Art in general has always mesmerized my mushy brain, and I usually get inspired by the great things people send to us on a daily basis. It’s like being part of a well oiled pitching machine that ...

Am I the only one that finds myself thinking about the different paths that the signals from the computer take in order to deliver the packets from my computer to the host of another website or vice versa when I am browsing the web?

Having A Toxic Boss Hurts Your Health & Happiness [Infographic]

I haven’t worked a 9-5 Monday through Friday job in so long, I can barely remember what it was like. Now I work about 14 hours a day instead of 8 (because that is what entrepreneurs do), but I don’t have a traditional boss in an office looking over my shoulder all the time. It’s a trade-off, which is why finding your passion and loving what you do is so important. I’ve often written in my articles that if I got a traditional job now, I’d ...

Comparing User Activity Across Social Services [Infographic]

I think we have all seen the decline of interaction on Twitter, and how the service has become somewhat a little less, well I wouldn’t want to say interesting, but it surely has become less of what it was a couple years ago.

The way that the direct messages are not working correctly is also a big culprit in the decline of the service, ...
