For those who like to know what is happening in the tech world, here is your little tidbit of news… Most of us remember the days of Internet Explorer 6 (IE6). Some of us might still be using it. Some of us brave types moved to IE7 because of the “gadgets” Microsoft had added to it. Now IE8 is on the doorstep and will be walking in very soon.

Hey all, I originally wanted to post this early this month, but with my blog crashing and everything, never had a chance to. Now I can, so here it is. Ever wanted to see if you were getting what you paid for when it came to your ISP? Well, Google is working on a tool that will do just that. Now you can see if your ISP is throttling your internet or not.

Yes, you heard me right. This makes me mad to no end. Why? Ugh, don’t even get me started… First off, taxing the internet period is just dumb. Its virtually impossible to enforce, and even if it was able to be, you would have the masses to deal with. Second, how in the world is this going to work? Is this going on your internet bill, or is it being footed directly to the businesses?

Ok, let me get one thing out of the way before I begin. I am opposed entirely to this notion, partly because I am a free market enonomist and partly because I can see right through the red tape in the government. From a general standpoint this looks like a good idea right? True, but here is some history. The money you hold in your hand is worthless , look at what it says, “Backed by the full faith of the US Government” It started when it was taken off the gold standard in 1971.

I said I would explain this quote in the next post, enjoy. In my previous post , I said, “ The best stimulus to our economy is no stimulus at all.”. I am a free market capitalist, meaning that I prefer complete government absence from the economy. Markets and businesses can take care of themselves best if left alone. We’ve never really experienced this yet, but that is beside the point.

Honestly, I’m not trying to make this into a political blog, but this is just too funny to notice. Browsing Reuters, I ran across this article: [link]. I thought this stimulus package was supposed to pull us out of this “recession” and bring everything back to normal? Was I wrong in thinking this? Did we do something worse? Renowned investor George Soros said on Friday the world financial system has effectively disintegrated, adding that there is yet no prospect of a near-term

With 2009 comes another year, and with a new year comes taxes. Time for all business owners to pull out their books and tally up everything. But before you send it into the Fed, here is a tip. Have you checked all your expenses? If you haven’t already, sit down with your accountant to see if there are any hidden expenses that could be reported.

Huh? What’s this you say? If you’re a math geek, you already know this. But if you don’t, let me introduce you to a holiday that occurs only nine times in a century. Tuesday is Square Root Day, a rare holiday that occurs when the day and the month are both the square root of the last two digits of the current year. Numerically, March 3, 2009, can be expressed as 3/3/09, or mathematically as ?

The television landscape is drastically changing as new digital distribution platforms emerge that enable truly personalized television. ZillionTV is one of those platforms. ZillionTV is a new company joining the digital tv age, but this is more than “digital tv” I am actually interested in this service. This is regular tv service, as well as movies, that is streamed over the internet to your television.

Well, very simple. I went to a conference in March of 2006, and there met Ken Pierpont. It was at that conference I first heard about blogging and the power behind it. He also touched a bit on podcasting, which I had never heard before. I came home and purposed at that point to start “blogging” I kept it as a bit of an online journal if you will for a while, then started digging deeper into blogging.

This is fascinating to me. After I had updated (roughly 6 days ago) all the links and other backend things on my website, I browse over to see my website stats. I found someone came from Bing.com, and that was the exact day Bing.com launched. Naturally, I was interested in how they came to my website. I was floored when I saw this (You can click on the picture to see a bigger picture): What do you guys think?

This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while. Everyone has a hero they look up to, someone they admire. The realm I most associate myself with is the new media crowd (blogging, podcasting, internet video). Let me introduce you to my mentors: Internet Business: Jason Van Orden -Podcaster first and foremost, entrepreneur at heart. He was responsible for most of the promoting ideas I’ve implemented on this blog/podcast.

I was browsing my usual flow of tweets from twitter, when one by Mitch Joel ( @mitchjoel ) caught my eye: That video (included below) pulled out a strong reason for why I do what I do online. Actually, it was more of a reminder, but lets continue. For me, the year old media died was 2007. Do you see how powerful this movement is? Do you see the seismic shifts this is having across the globe, impacting every industry?

This is something I am seriously considering doing. It has been on my mind a while, on and off since last year (2008). I’m not going to self-publish it, I plan on getting it to a publisher and go the more traditional route of writing and publishing a book. What would it be on you ask? It might be either New Media, Podcasting, or Young Entrepreneurship.

Yes, and I have to say it. Twitter is dead. I could make the same comparisons about Facebook, but for the sake of this post, I’m sticking with Twitter. It has been my experience that as soon as something, anything , hits mainstream and is “talked up” all the time in the media means it is on the verge of dying out. Completely opposite of mainstream thought eh?

Derek Johnson over at his blog, [link] , has come out with a list of those who are under 30 and running their own successful companies. Derek is a 23 year old CEO of internet startup, Tatango.com and quite successful in his area of expertise. I personally heard of him through Gary Vaynerchuk and Daniel Brusilovsky. I’ve added myself to his list (I’m #29) and if you are a young entrepreneur, go ahead and add yourself to this list as well.

There is a fine line between having an Entrepreneur mindset and an Employee mindset, lets see if you notice the difference: Entrepreneurs are willing to risk it all, employees prefer to play it safe and stay off the radar. Entrepreneurs can’t adjust to what society dictates, employees flow right along with the mainstream. Entrepreneurs make the rules, employees follow rules.

Something has been on my mind for the past several years now. It is in regards to showing you how to take advantage of the tools available to us today. I know I haven’t spoken much on it, and I know a small handful of you are following me like a dog to learn from me. I apologize I haven’t been able to provide this sooner, I guess I needed to be bitten on the rear end to actually put this idea into action!

Yes, if you haven’t figured it out by now one of my favorite online games is World of Warcraft. But not for the reasons you may think, nor am I addicted. When you first start out in WoW, as its called by its rabidly loyal fan base (probably should write another post on that…), you begin at level one. Currently the maximum level you can reach is 80.

For those interested, yes, I finally have my first product to offer this industry. I’ve only taken forever to bring this product to completion. It all started in 2008 at the New Media Expo. I was speaking to my mentor, Paul Colligan , and he strongly recommended that I launch a product. At that time, my podcast had only been around for two years.

I went with a group of friends to see Avatar last night. If anything, this was the one movie on my list that I had to see. I had seen the previews for it, and it sparked my interest immediately. Oddly enough, the day started out with nothing planned, but I knew for a fact that I would see Avatar before the day was out. I was waiting on a call from the friends as to the exact day and time, and when I did check in with them they said it would be that very night.

Ah, the Super Bowl. Sitting around with family watching two teams batter each other for the title of Super Bowl Victor. For me, in years gone by, I used to enjoy watching the Super Bowl for the pure fun of it. I was young, there was food, and something cool was on the screen to entertain me. Then I grew up. I still enjoy watching the Super Bowl and can hold my own when it comes to debating over football teams and players, but that is just side knowledge.

I’ve been reading some very good material around the web recently, and I’ve been coming to realize the difference between social media rockstars and thought leaders, though this can apply to almost any industry. (I love having StumbleUpon to archive all of this stuff…). Tim Ferriss nailed it on the head for me.

It's no secret that social media has created an entirely new marketing category within businesses. Social media has the ability to permeate into every avenue of a consumer's life providing companies with an abundance of opportunities for brand advertising. The rules, however, are far different than the traditional advertising campaigns of yesteryear.
