Cancer and a bike ride.
I’ve got a little ride plannedin the Rockies on the 14th and 15th of July with my mate John. For the cycling types, the ride is roughly 120 miles a day, with over 10,000 feet of climbing per day. I figured it would be good idea to combine it with a dose of fundraising, but I’d not [...]

Book Giveaway : Blogging to Drive Business
I have 12 copies of a new book, in fact I don’t even think it’s available thru Amazon yet, Blogging to Drive Business. The name makes it pretty obvious what it’s about, so all I will add is that I read it and thought it was pretty good, very actionable stuff.
I used to do these [...]
