Just in time for the holidays, Instigator Blog has it’s very own line of clothes!
OK, that’s not entirely true…but check out these Instigator Pants a friend of mine, Alistair Croll, found at a store recently. He thought of me, snapped a picture and sent it along:

No surprise, these are top of the line pants…with articulated knees no less! I’m not much of an alpine climber mind you, but I’ve yet to find any pants with a cooler name.
Happy Holidays Everyone!
I want to wish everyone a happy holidays and a great New Year. I may be posting tidbits throughout the holidays, and then ramping it up again in January. 2009 is going to be an absolutely insane year.
Best wishes to you and yours. Have fun, be safe and keep instigating…

Experienced entrepreneurs (who have “been there, done that”) often ask the question, “So, what keeps you up at night?”
Short answer: My kids. And more specifically, my younger son, Quinn Alexander Yoskovitz, who recently turned 1 year old. He’s been a bit under the weather, teething like a werewolf and grumpy like a seriously-constipated old man (and if you’ve ever met one of those, you know what I’m talking about!) This all translates into a complete lack of sleep. For the past year I’ve lived on about 4-5 hours of sleep per night. Some nights are better. Some are worse. A couple nights ago I got a grand total of 2 hours of sleep! The night ended (and the day started) with me driving Quinn around the city so he’d sleep in the car. A large coffee, bagel, triple shot cappuccino and chocolate biscotti later, I dragged my ass home, exhausted (having driven around for 1.5 hours), with a vicious stomach ache. That was some day!
On a positive note, look how freaking cute he is…
