The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
I've been tagged to complete five main projects before the end of January 2009. Almost scares me to think that I would complete a project or two within the next few weeks, but I feel sure it is possible. 1. Create new logo for a new web friend. A little project that was given to... Continue Reading →
Is your daily activity influenced by the name of the day? The reason I ask is because I continuously tell friends that the worst way to die is to live only on the weekends. To me there is no weekend, just week days. Monday to Sunday. I don't restrict the way I have fun, the... Continue Reading →

With a hint of a sigh, the little device said "Get lost! Do I look ready to think about your problems? Your contact list? Take a freaking number... Continue Reading →
