This week the game is Halo 3, done in a unique way. Unfortunately, one of the gamers sealed his fate picking the wrong colored ball. Spoilers within…so make sure you watch it first.

The internet is a place many come in hopes to become rich. It’s their ticket to the good life. A large amount of people not only want to be rich they want to be well-known. I always ask myself if they really know what they are opening themselves up to. I keep talking about this [...]

I read the list. It starts off with Neil Patel at 50 and I had hope. I really did. By the time I got to #1 I was laughing at the ridiculousness of it. If you read the trackbacks and comments it’s pretty obvious the list is whacked. And let me disclaim – no, I [...]

I wrote a series of entries How to Be Big and Fail based off a person in my life. I saw his mistakes and noticed, while going through blogs, the same behaviors carried into blogging.

I am not influenced by one entry but many entries saying the same thing will catch my attention, but I still [...]

Yesterday I questioned what the definition of a network is. Measuring is pointless unless the person measuring discloses:

The definition of a blog
