I have always debated if pride is a positive or a negative trait. One of my principles is Humility, making the problem more complicated. Can I be humble and proud at the same time?

I clicked on Wordful after commenting on a post over at Problogger. I commented and started to scan a few other comments. One comment was by Charles Bohannan who linked to his blog Wordful. Here is the post I landed on. After reading that post, I spent an hour [...]

Nor am I. We are not as good as we think we are. Most people think they are smarter than the average. Most people CAN’T be smarter than the average. Look at the guy in the desk next to you? Do you think you are smarter than him? Odds are you aren’t. I’m not saying [...]

I know, I know a whole lot of little things
And even though I confess them one by one
She would still be gone
Her eyes are blue, her hair is long

Who else is a stat-a-holic? Since I started blogging I’m more consistent at checking my stats than I am at writing content. There is little chance that I am going to suppress my urge to stat watch. It’s too tempting and whenever I post an article it’s just a button away, I’m not nearly strong [...]

I, like so many, use the computer on a regular basis. My current job is 100% computer, and my previous job, was 90% computer. This doesn’t count the fact that my major in college was computer information systems. So imagine my dismay when in the spring of 2007, only a few months into my new [...]
