Keeping Up With the Jones
How do you keep yourself in-the-loop with technology and other business need-to-knows? I won't be able to tell you how entrepreneurs that run their business full time do it. We're boot strapping our company, so the process is a bit more restrictive with our other full-time gigs in the way. For us - at Digital Alias, we use a couple of different tools, such as: Podcasts, RSS readers, and various social media tools to stay on the up n' up!
Following Accurately in Twitterville
This topic may have been talked to death already, but I accidentally learned something the other night and would like to share it. There were two events being held and I could not attend any of them.

At the time of writing this post they're up to 10 episodes and I'm in a mad dash to catch up. Like most other folks, trying out a new podcast, you'll listen to the latest episode and if it fancies you - you'll then start from the beginning and work your way up.
