I understand your point, what I'm saying is that even after following all of PayPal's instructions, re-verifications and talking to customer services - as well as telling them (as the buyer) that the transaction is legit, I wasn't able to s

I agree that email is a tool and that the way it's used is most of the battle. But I feel, more and more these days, that email is a heavy chain around my neck throughout the day. Actually, email is really only a delivery method, just as fa

One of my fav Jobs quotes (not catchy, but practical) is: "...there needs to be someone who is the keeper and reiterator of the vision..." If you have your own project/startup, then that's you. Even if you just reiterate it to yourself. It
