Why I (Almost) Quit Blogging Entirely - http://www.erica.biz/2011...
You probably know me as one of those people who’s a straight shooter. I don’t think entrepreneurship is easy, or that everyone should do it.

In early June, I embarked on a radical experiment: I gave up email for 30 days. Here are my results… When I started the trial, I felt completely overwhelmed by email, and I just wanted a way out.

Dear California: I’m Leaving You. Here’s Why… - http://www.erica.biz/2011...
I’ve lived in California for my entire adult life, beginning way back when I was a naive 18-year-old living in the dorms of San Jose State University.

We Need to Wake Up–or Risk Pissing Off an Entire Generation - http://www.erica.biz/2011...
There is a complete disconnect between people ages 18-25 and the people who hire them (employers–that’s us!)
