Facebook Page for David Seah (Dot Com)
February 17, 2011Read moreI’ve just created an official page for this website on Facebook, so those of you who would like to keep connected with what’s going on behind-the-scenes can heckle me from a safe distance. Bring it! :) I plan on posting some more works-in-progress thoughts there, and I’m hoping it will be easier to interact with people there than it is on my Twitter. So if you’re using Facebook, check the new page out at http://facebook.com/DavidSeahCom. Thanks!

Review: The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman
February 17, 2011Read more
I’m a reluctant business person. While I’ve had the notion that I could somehow parlay my interest in making/writing into some kind of sustainable lifestyle, it’s only recently that I’ve even started to think about this in business terms. It’s perhaps not that surprising since I’m a preacher’s kid, and I grew up in an environment where discussion about enriching one’s self was not a topic of discussion. Those idyllic times are long past, and today I’m very interested in making money, because I’d like to have the freedom to do what I want in the greater context of achieving personal excellence.
My review copy of Josh Kaufman’s The Personal MBA arrived at just the right time. For the bulk of 2010, I’ve just been getting used to the idea of being a business entity. To give myself some structure, I took a pass at outlining agency processes and drawing maps of my overarching goals, but I must admit that I was still feeling a little lost. Happily, The Personal MBA is the much-needed atlas of the business world that I needed, and it’s helping me understand what I’m up against with greater clarity. (more…)

Book Review: The Personal MBA
February 15, 2011Read moreI’ve just finished my review of Josh Kaufman’s The Personal MBA, which joins my short list of foundational awesome books. I’d received an advance copy back in 2010, and had intended to review it earlier, but got swept up in the holidays. You can read my review in the new “information wing” of the blog; pardon the dust and please watch your head :)

Fountain Pen Notebook Update
February 15, 2011Read moreI’m thinking the initial run will be between 4×6 and 5×7, use double-wire binding, heavy covered board covers, and smooth paper stock that is thick enough to not bleed through or feather using a Lamy Medium Nib w/ Noodler’s Bulletproof Black. Fine Point Sharpie will be the acid test that would be nice; it’ll depend on the paper samples that come in and the cost. Also will investigate the rounded corner option.
I’m expecting to get some paper samples this week from the rep, and am testing various inks and pen combinations. If you have a suggestion on inks to test with, let me know your recommendations. Thanks!

Rainlender Skin for Compact Calendar
February 13, 2011Read moreI got an email from Jorge Luis, letting me know that he’d made a Rainlender skin based on the Compact Calendar. From what I can tell, Rainlender is a desktop calendar app for Mac, Linux, and Windows that appears right on your desktop. I haven’t tried it myself, but it looks like a neat idea.
