She pulled in more revenue off my bags this year than I did!
I honestly wish she had more. I’ve had dozens of people emailing lately about them. But that’s why the search continues to find the best means to relaunch the line. Fingers crossed.

Molly, a crazy potty-mouth blogger out of LA, always posts what’s honestly on her mind. Some of her rants I skip, but the ones I read through always make me laugh.
This one in particular is pretty funny. What will our kids think about Top 40, auto-tuned pop?

First, I love your blog!! I'm not sure if you've already answered this but how did you go about becoming a spin instructor? What sort of certifications do you need and where did you get yours? I'm interested in becoming one.
Thanks

Click the link to see Mike McCue, the founder of FlipBoard, show Robert Scoble how to use this really cool new app.
After watching the video I’m a little overwhelmed, but I think after I use it a couple of times, I’ll be singing this app’s praises.
