You’re driving me to excess!

Posted on January 26, 2010July 19, 2011 by Jacky Hackett

Or eat as the case may be.  You know when you have a really long day at the office or home with the kids?  Makes you just want to saddle up to some fattening comfort food and a tasty cocktail. Though in the back of your head you KNOW you should instead head to the gym…

Random Pods

Posted on January 13, 2010September 10, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

Lately I have been listening to more Podcasts. I know, late in the game on this. Pursuing iTunes I notice that Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel is the #2 top podcast. This is so wrong for many reasons. 1) There is only 1 podcast. It is a 1 minute clip of the film. 2)…

Get A Life!

Posted on January 6, 2010July 19, 2011 by Jacky Hackett

As far back as I can I can remember both of parents worked full-time. It never struck as odd that my mom was at work rather than home with us kids. We were busy anyways, that was back in the day when you could play in the neighborhood from dusk to dawn with no phone…

This time of year always comes at me like a category five storm I am not sure I will survive.  Honestly I have come to dread the “holiday season”.  When did Christmas become a whole season that begins about Halloween and last until early January? Or in some cases June when the neighbors finally decide…

Like it or not, Money = Success

Posted on December 7, 2009December 15, 2011 by Jacky Hackett

I finally finished reading Outliers by Malcom Gladwell.  Gladwell was one of the keynote speakers at a Salesforce conference I attended last year and he spoke about the book.  It took me an embarrassingly long time to get through the book.  I tend to use my commute as my reading time, but lately I have…

Posted on November 19, 2009July 19, 2011 by Jacky Hackett

Here is proof Google does in fact make us dumber.  No time now to get into why I was “Googling” 18 inch hair extensions.
