Pictures tell all
In the past few weeks, I’ve come across 2 VERY interesting visuals.
The first is a visual guide to where your federal tax dollars go. If you click the image or here, it will link to a larger version online. You can even buy a print version. Cool.
Next is a visual showing how the GPD’s of COUNTRYS match up to the GDP of STATES in the US. You can click the image for a larger version. This post
talks more about it.
Hat tip to Blake Snow for pointing the GDP map out.

Digging Out
Last week, while gearing up for my trip to the Wind River Range, I wrote about the burden that accompanies preparing for time spent away from the office.

To satisfy anyone’s curiosity, I haven’t [stopped coming to work, that is], but if I ever did, it would probably be because I found a dark spot on the map and I’m staying put!

For now, after having recently spent five hours on a plane flying back to Utah from Boston, I’d choose a dark spot close to home, like further west here in the Beehive State or somewhere up in Montana. How about you… where is your dark spot on

Entrepreneurship, it’s an adventure of self-discovery
Most bloggers start off on day one with one of those typically lame, “Well, I’ve finally decided to join the blogosphere” posts, as if to suggest that their first run at blogging is as a blogger. The truth is, even though this is my first blog entry ever, I’ve been a part of the blogosphere ever since Jonathan Last of The Daily Standard first coined the term back in April of 2002.
The great thing about blogging—and I don’t mean to position myself here as some sort of blog evangelist, because I’m not—is that whether you write for one, read one, or comment on one, you’re part of the blogosphere, and therefore you matter. Yes, I said you matter; which is to also
