Everything seems to be in bubble 2.0 mode right now. Venture capitalists have gone cukoo investing in any site with mac syle reflective buttons and missing vowels in its name. They are looking for growth, revenue and IPOs above all else and if they don’t get what they want the bubble will pop like some watermelon bubbleicious [...]

I have been out of school for a while now, but I have cousins that are just graduating and contemplating that jump feet first into the working world. Its a dauting step to take when you’ve spent your past 4-5 years reading, writing and partying like its 1999. The good thing is that there are web [...]

There was a press report that president Bush read 60 books this year and everyone was rather suprised since he isn’t the best speaker and doesn’t come across as the most intelligent person most of the time. I’d like to clarify that he more than likley started 60 books but he didn’t finish them. I know how hard it is [...]

How cool is this? Cold weather soup season is coming up in a few months and this one touch can opener is wicked cool. I think I am going to order a few for the office because we all have soup for lunch here in the fall & winter. It is battery operated, so you need [...]

Some advice from me to you…things I would have liked to have known but I didn’t until it was too late.
Never buy a URL and list it as a business URL. You will get spammed and called by every telemarketer in the book. Especially through godaddy. They’re the worst. They sell their customer lists to [...]

Its the end of the summer. That means the sun goes down quicker, the days get cooler and everything goes on sale. Its a great time to pick up things for your home and garden at great discounts and reduced prices. One example are these garden gnomes. They have been popular again latley due to [...]

Its been a year since the hurricane devistated and destroyed New Orleans and a lot has been said this week about how things not only went wrong when the storm happend, but in the recovery months afterwards. There are still major areas of the city that haven’t been touched, and millions in renovations to be [...]

 I am not sure how often most people look for a job or sell a car, but when you have to publish your contact information in a way that gets passed out to a lot of people you may not want it to fall into the wrong hands or be added to email and telemarketing databases. [...]

The Emmy Awards were last night, and like many people I was oblivious to it. I had family visiting so I was out and about and nowhere near a TV. I heard this morning that Kiefer Sutherland won for best drma actor on 24 and the show 24 won for best drama overall. That’s awesome [...]

I have the luxury of having my own computer and no one else uses it. I know many people don’t though, and its hard to keep track of who does what when and where. Especially for families that have kids that surf the internet and use email. Its risky because there are so many things [...]

I am a big fan of Martha Stewart’s magazines (but not her shows) and I just got the new edition of Blueprint in the mail. I was pleased to find it was just as good as last month and now I’m on a quest to find more cute stuff for my home…

Within this second wave of internet development and boom it seems like evryone has a site they are building and promoting. Sometimes you have a breakthrough concept or technology that makes your site notable and the people just come to you. Other times you have to activley seek them through push marketing efforts in order [...]

I was talking with someone this weekend about “energy” in a very hippie new age kind of way. Although those aren’t two words I would use to discribe myself…it was interesting. I think I am in a situation today where the situation has sapped all my “energy” and I need to find a better way to [...]

There are so many gambling sites online these days its near impossible to figure out which ones are legit and which ones are scams. Its also near impossible to figure out how to bet and win. I know the odds are based on the game you play, but when its on the internet do those odds [...]
