As I have always said it is good to keep a daily task list. This way you know what you need to get done for that day. When you are running your own business it is very easy to get distracted and forget things that you need to get done for that day. Also it…
Visiting the Justin.tv Office
Since I was in San Francisco for ad:tech I decided I would stop by the Justin.tv office and say what’s up to the Justin.tv staff. It is really cool being able to go to the offices of a website or service you use. The Justin.tv staff was more than happy to let us come and…
5 Reasons to Start Blogging
I started this blog back in 2005 as more of a personal journal, but it evolved from that into a platform where I can express myself, give business tips, discuss issues, and even make some money. Blogging to me is a lot of fun and it gives me an escape from writing all of the…

Get a Larger Monitor, Become more Productive
I’ve always liked larger screens, I mean I work on my computer 6-8 hours a day so the more screen real estate I have the easier it is to get work done. Back when everyone had 17-inch CRT monitors I decided to go out and get a nice big Dell 20.1-inch widescreen LCD. Back then…
Social Networks and their Importance
Social Networks, some people hate them, some people love them, and some people just don’t care. I in fact I use a bunch of different social networks and I noted in a previous post. Now I do use these social networks for personal use (keeping up with friends, meeting new people, etc), but I also…
Checking Out Yahoo Live
As some of you know I sometimes lifecast on Justin.tv. I really like the Justin.tv service, I’ve been with them since beta and they have really made a lot of improvements since that time. All of the chat features and video features are something that you won’t find with other services like this. I also…
Yahoo Turns Down Microsoft
Well this was not the best news to me. I had really hoped if Microsoft and Yahoo joined forces a lot of good would come of it, especially in the online advertising market. As I said Yahoo’s Publisher Network and Microsoft’s AdCenter don’t even compare to Google Adsense, but if they were combined, there could…
ThinkComputers and Thermaltake Giveaway
It seems like it is the time for contests and giveaways. I am giving away some CES Swag and there are a lot of other contests going around the blogosphere. I wanted to let everyone know about a contest we have going on over at ThinkComputers. We have teamed with Thermaltake to give away over…
Revver Looking To Sell Cheap
Revver is a user-submitted video sharing platform much like YouTube. What sets it apart from YouTube is that they share revenue with their users. YouTube has revenue sharing, but only for select publishers. Revver on the other hard offers this to everyone. I really like the service and it gave me another avenue to make…
Microsoft Offers Yahoo $44.6 Billion!?!
You may not think that I follow stocks that much, mainly because I never really talk about them on the blog, but I do follow the big players, Google, Apple, Yahoo, Sony, Microsoft etc. Things haven’t been looking good at all for Yahoo. Their Q4 earnings were down 23 percent and their stock has been…
Bill Gates Last Day at Microsoft
One thing that I always looked forward to at CES was the Bill Gates keynote, not only is he a great public speaker, they was always usually a funny video in there, if sure some of you remember the Bill Gates goes to college video. Since this yeah was his last CES keynote he made…
My 2008 Goals
With 2007 coming to an end it is time to set some goals for 2008. Before I get into my goals for 2008 let’s see how I did on my 2007 goals… Keep Up With ThinkComputers – I think I did a good job with this. ThinkComputers puts out at least 3 or more reviews…
Advertising Types Explained
The world of online advertising can be very hard to understand for someone who is new to it. A few years ago I had no clue about ads and how I was making money off the ads on my site. I just threw up some Google ads and was surprised that I was actually making…
Agloco Dead in the Water
A while ago I made the post “Agloco is Dead”, but a lot of people gave me criticism saying they were going to change things up and the proposed 10-year payment system would be changed, well it’s to late for that. The other day I got this e-mail from Agloco… “Dear Bob, We would like…
