How many photos from business magazines can you remember? Execs fuss over their ties, their hair…and their photos are forgotten in a sea of sameness.
Not this one:
I heard Jeff Bezos (Amazon’s CEO) say, “The only real problem in life is to be ignored.” I love this shot of Ahnold because it’s different. [...]
My heroes are entrepreneurs. I went to work for NeXT years ago because Steve Jobs was CEO and I wanted to live what I’d read in the books.
What could be more exciting than building Cold Stone (yum!) from scratch?
Never did I imagine that our story would end up alongside the stories of my heroes [...]
Research firms like InfoTrends say the #1 thing that influences consumer choice of photo sharing sites is whether they’re free. Makes sense.

Fortunately, thanks to our customers, we do: themes & customization.
Many thanks to families like Lee Shepherd’s, who designed several [...]
Once upon a time I founded Fatbrain.com (because great minds think a lot), took it public, and later sold it to Barnes & Noble. It sold books to geeks, along with other stuff geeks needed like Sun and IBM manuals, training CDs, etc.
What made Fatbrain as good as it was is that Amazon was [...]
Oh. My. Gosh. If you haven’t tried Dan’s Chocolates, you haven’t tasted True Decadence.
A wonderful customer suprised us with a Dan’s box with this message:
