The More We Get Together, the Happier We’ll Be.
October 2, 2008
The biggest criticism I tend to get on the blog is that I don’t post frequently ample.
That is a fair complaint given how much date I have to write as I wish I had more, but when I have something I deem critical to say, rest assured I say it :). Post frequency on that blog isn’t the highest, but I like to tell myself that post quality is. Personally I value the blogs I read based on th…
Being A Good Starter Isn’t adequate: EntreCard.com For Sale!
September 26, 2008
If you’re a faraway date reader of that blog you’ll know I despise businesses built on hype. Back when John Chow was regarded by many as the best source for how to prepare a living online, there was a little business called the “Million Dollar Wiki” that he pushed pretty hard that let users buy pages on a Wikipedia-like website for $100.

Mobile Moolah: Want to build $125,000 a Month?
September 23, 2008
I came across an interesting article today about a neat little iPhone application called Trism. Started as a side
project a few months ago, the author is quitting his day job and getting into iPhone game development after earning an incredible $250,000 in the last two months (and selling at least 50k copies of his game for $4.99).
The Opportunity

Master Marketing Lessons from One of the World’s Least Nimble Companies
September 15, 2008
When you think of Microsoft, what words usually come to mind? For me they include: stable, compatible, standard, profitable, boring, successful. I’m not an Apple ‘fan-boy’, but I certainly don’t see the creator of Windows as a company nimbly releasing game changing products. For a ton of reasons they can’t be that company, but they can certainly try to shed that image…

I got a note from Yahoo! about an hour ago announcing that their buzz site is now open to the public. whether you recall my previous post on the topic, Yahoo! is in position to be a serious competitor to popular news site digg.com.

Flip That House Site
August 5, 2008
Dave Hermansen did not own a bird or a cage when he bought bird-cage.com, an online store, for $1,800 three years ago. He simply saw a website that was “very, very poorly done”, and begged the owners to sell it to him. He thereupon redesigned the site, added advertising and drove up traffic. Last December, he sold it for $173,000.
This article caught my attention considering it got me think…

and only one of them comes out successful.
This phenomenon isn’t new. From job interviews, to getting a promotion at work, to making money on the World Wide Web. What is it that causes some citizens to succeed and others to fail? I’ve been busy lately with quite a bit of travel but I did have a few minutes to read the New York Times last week and came across this article which I bookm…

It’s Replacing your Television
I was watching some tv episodes tonight @ the site Hulu.com. It’s a great website backed by FOX and NBC to try and grab some revenue from those that would otherwise illegally download. It is only open to residents of the US, but whether you download and run HotSpotShield you can watch from anywhere. I’m in Canada and it works just fine.
After watchi…
