The Four Steps to the Epiphany by Steven Gary Blank

Great book, but it isn’t really a book. It’s a manual for startups. I know this book has already been reviewed a lot and it deserves its 5 star rating on Amazon. However, I’d like to point something out: reading this book cover to cover like a book is a waste of time. Skim it the first. The start of each chapter and then look at the processes. Then go and actually do it! Start at Chapter one and actually go out and execute the processes he outlines. Otherwise you’re just wasting your time.

Now to go follow my own advice.

I’m in a mood.  The weather has been awful and I’ve not been able to get on the track this entire month.  Saturday looks possible, but my daughter has a soccer game in the morning so I’ll go to the track afterward.

I’ve always thought of Texas as a dry desert like place.  I did not realize I was moving to a swamp.

Today I’m putting up some book reviews for books I have read so I’m actually on my web-site.  For some reason my installation of blogengine.net does not like Windows Live Writer so setting the publish date doesnt always work as expected.  Like this today.

So I’m in the control panel making sure my stuff is working and what do I see?  4 other posts that never published!  Being the big blogger I am I’ve done 6 posts this year.  Two posts were immediately published and the others had the publish date set.  They never published.  They’re up now, but geez.

Oh, and I see that the spam bots have visited.  I really need to add a captcha to the comments thing.  Luckily comments have to be approved so nobody sees them.
