I rarely have the opportunity to play games, but last night I bought Rocket League to go with my Xbox One and played it with Fletcher for a couple of hours. It was really nice to talk to Fletch over the headset while we battled other people in this rocket soccer game. Super fun!

I have a fitbit blaze watch. I am not a huge fan of it, mostly because it’s not very accurate. The GPS always gives me different readings for the same 6 mile run I regularly do, and the heart rate monitor is very slow to catch up to my current heart rate and is often off by 30-40 beats.… read more “Fitbit Blaze Watch Review”

I have been trying to read all non-fiction lately and it has been tough.… read more “Stephen King’s “On Writing””

I have been reading Stranger in a Strange Land before bed each night and am loving it. Great book!

I recently dealt with a difficult libel legal issue in Phoenix, Arizona. I won’t get into it too much, but I hired an excellent business litigator named David Enevoldsen who did a superb job of handling my case.

David Enevoldsen is an attorney with a lot of experience and expertise in business litigation and defamation cases.  … read more “Great Business Litigation / Defamation Attorney in Phoenix AZ”

If you’re looking to build the ultimate online store, you need the ultimate shopping cart solution. Just one problem: They all claim to be the best. Shopify heralds itself as “the #1 eCommerce solution,” while Magento boasts of being “the most flexible enterprise-class eCommerce platform to power your business,” and BigCommerce strives to create “the world’s leading eCommerce platform.”… read more “Shopify vs BigCommerce vs Magento”

  • Median price per square foot: $407
  • Median sale price vs list price: 100.4% (wow!)
