I thought it would be fun to put together a list of the top 10 technology gadgets I would like for Christmas. When viewing this list, keep a couple of things in mind. For starters, I already have a bunch of cool technology gadgets like TiVo and a Flip video camera so this list isn't necessarily what I think are the top 10 technology gifts this holiday season. Rather, it's a list of the gadgets I would like to have that I don't already have. Also, I'm not really this material of a person or at least I try not…

Everyone I talk to seems to be getting really excited about the upcoming deals at most major retailers this Friday (known as Black Friday). I am no exception to this excitement.

During a 1-on-1 coaching session this morning, my client told me he would like some help picking out a new television. He told me that he had DIRECTV but wanted to make sure he had his new television in time for the transition to digital television next February. I told him flat out that there was no need for him to get a new television. That's when he said that he thought everyone needed a new television. As frustrated as I was that this message is still getting across to people, I did my duty as the founder of Noobie…
