by Adam on 12. Sep, 2009 in Business, General

It was a long time coming but I finally decided to switch up my design for a while. It was hard to part with my much loved Thematic Theme, but I have heard many good things about Woo Themes.

The Beginning of my Minimalist Lifestyle: Starting with the 100 Things Challenge

by Adam on 09. Sep, 2009 in Lifestyle Design

I’ve never been one to throw things out – or to go without for that matter. I’ve always been surrounded by “stuff” growing up and although I’m in no means complaining about that, I have recently been admiring many people who live a much simpler life. People who are able to up and relocate without [...]

I’m Back! And ready to rumble.

by Adam on 07. Sep, 2009 in General

I looked at my last post date and was quite disappointed in myself. Two months to the day.
In my defense, I had an intensely hectic and busy summer. I’ve relocated to South West Ontario (London to be exact) and am slowly deciding on and preparing for, well, “the real world” – if you will.
Well, now [...]

by Adam on 07. Jul, 2009 in General

I expect it will be a little while before I get a chance to become active blogging again – I have a move coming up in a couple months and a lot to work on and take care of before taking off. I’m sure I’ll toss up the odd post here and there and have [...]

Live happier: A different look at friendships and relationships.

by Adam on 21. Jun, 2009 in General

I recently listened in to a call on the importance of building strategic business relationships versus general networking. The authors and entrepreneurs Keith Ferrazzi, Tim Ferriss, and Guy Kawasaki had an open conversation on how they were affected by having a close-knit group of strategic relationships and how to go about finding them.
Although this call [...]

How to travel across the country for free: Ride Sharing

by Adam on 15. Jun, 2009 in General

Last March I took a trip half way across the country. I spent a week visiting friends and loved ones, interviewing, and apartment hunting, among many other things.
The catch is that I did it all for around $40 – including gas, food for the week, and even a St. Patty’s day celebration.
There are many things [...]

by Adam on 06. Jun, 2009 in General

Many people struggle with installing and setting up third-party gallery applications and although there are a couple popular image galleries that most web-hosts offer as an easy-to-install application, they can still be frustrating and pose many security issues for the inexperienced.
With the growing popularity of using Flickr to manage photos, more and more people are [...]

Become a Knowledge Expert in Anything in 6 Months.

by Adam on 30. May, 2009 in General

When I chat with people about personal branding a common theme surfaces in most young new graduates, students, and entrepreneurs – not enough experience. More importantly than not having enough experience is not having a way to stand out in the crowd – or the industry in which they are or wish to be working [...]

by Adam on 28. May, 2009 in General

If you’re looking for tickets for the Cirque Du Soleil performance in Halifax, Nova Scotia there is still time. I had the opportunity to attend the opening night’s performance on Wednesday May 27 and must say it was amazing.
Unfortunately we weren’t able to snap any pictures – mainly due to our constant state of shock [...]

Spend money guilt-free on whatever you want: Be smarter about your finances.

by Adam on 24. May, 2009 in Finances

When was the last time you spent even $100 and didn’t feel any guilt?
If you know me, you know I have a “spending” personality. I enjoy spending and typically have lived such a way. Unfortunately, being a student for most of my life, every purchase was full of guilt. Do I really need this? Should [...]
