Deflated but not Defeated at Thruxton
I have had so many rollercoaster rides in the past few weeks that I am thinking about buying my own theme park. It is fair to say I can add rounds five and six at Thruxton to my list of ups, downs and high-speed action in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB.

It had started as a weekend of consolidation after the rough rides at Brands Hatch and Donington Park.
10 Little-Known Apps That Entrepreneurs Can't Live Without
Recently something terribly obvious--yet powerful--occurred to me: If you want to achieve things that no one else has done, you need to do things no one else does.
So, I thought, who achieves things that very few do? I made a list of the top 10 entrepreneurs that I learn from daily. Then I thought, which things are they doing that could really help more people? When I emailed the idea to my Fast Company editor, she came back with something I found valuable:
“One of the problems that crops up is that a lot of people get back with “I love Twitter, Dropbox, and Evernote!” Those are great tools, but might not add that much value for our readers.” I thought that observation was spot-on. So instead, I asked my favorite entrepreneurs their absolute favorite, yet very little-known tools, they use to achieve everyday tasks.
Building Points at Donington Park
We knew it was going to be a tough weekend at Donington but the Celtic Speed boys can be very proud of their performance in rounds 3 and 4 of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB.

It would have been easy to feel sorry for ourselves after the six-grid penalty handed out at the first round at Brands Hatch. But we turned in a performance while overcoming a whole host of extra problems thrown our way.
I am very happy to have walked away with more solid points in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB.
How to attract freelance Drupal work
Freelancing is a very satisfactory way of earning a living. The money can be quite good, and the freedom you get is priceless. In a time where job security is an oxymoron, freelancing is sometimes the only avenue, even if temporarily.
For most freelancers, the primary concern is uncertainty of the income stream. You are not being paid a regular income each month. Instead, you need to go out and look for work, and sometimes things may be dry for a few weeks, which can be very stressful.

Drama at Brands Hatch!
The 2013 season opener at Brands Hatch certainly provided a real rollercoaster ride! It was typical Porsche Carrera Cup action with a little SNOW thrown in.
While I was after podiums in the first round of the season, I have to be happy to head back to Scotland with solid points from two fourth-place finishes. But the results do not even get close to telling the story.
The Celtic Speed boys had done a terrific job with the car, we had real pace from the second we rolled it off the truck. We topped the time sheets in the first session on Friday, then finished fourth quickest in second free practice just a fraction off being fastest again.
Intrafusion - life in the fast lane!
As you can imagine I spend most of my day behind a computer creating and building websites for other companies however, I have a secret ambition…racing cars. Not having the time to race a car myself, nor the youth, I have been sponsoring a rising driving star, called Rory Butcher. Born and bred in Fife Rory is taking the racing circuit by storm.
An instructor at Knockhill, Rory has won several awards including the Scottish Young Single Seater Award, Scottish Young Saloon Car Driver of the Year Award as well as making it into Motorsport News Top 50 Drivers to Look Out For. Rory also finished fifth in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB Pro Championship in 2012 (including 2 wins, 2 pole positions and 9 podium finishes) and second in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB Pro Am 1 Championship in 2011.

Whether you've already decided to go responsive or you're still considering a responsive site redesign, there are some things you'll need to look out for from an SEO standpoint.

How E-commerce Startups Are Marrying Content & Commerce
Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram have given rise to a new age of content creation, and while ecommerce startups are typically focused on selling online, increasingly they’re turning their attention to content as a means of building an audience. Content and commerce are no longer mutually exclusive, with companies profiling designers, blogging about how to use their products, and generally providing a more editorial slant to ecommerce sites.
