I don’t rally behind too many political causes, but I’m fervently opposed to censorship: http://americancensorship.org/. Don’t let the US become China. Make sure you call or email your congress person today.

One of my greatest strengths (and weaknesses) is my passion and intensity. When I endeavor to do something it consumes me. The subject in focus gets all my attention, time, money, and effort… at the expense of all other areas of my life. This has helped me accomplish great things throughout my life. Continue reading
Successful affiliates stand out from the competition.
The most common question I get from affiliates is “What should I promote?” Unfortunately, most of the people asking this question don’t understand what it takes to create a successful affiliate campaign.
People want easy answers. I often hear things like “Just tell me what works”, or “What merchants do you make the most money with?” The problem with this thought process is that it’s not enough to understand what campaigns are profitable; you also need to understand why. Continue reading

Most people using public Wi-Fi have a false sense of security while they’re connected. Many think the sites and applications they use our secure.

I bought my iPhone nearly 2 years ago. In that time, my phone has become a part of me (literally). I take it everywhere I go – home, the office, my bed, the bathroom, the movie theatre (silent mode of course). No place is off-limits… except the shower; Apple hasn’t found a way to water-proof the device yet. Continue reading
Breaking news – Congress has fixed the economy, ended two long-standing wars, and reinvigorated the US education system. With those pesky problems out of the way, they’re now turning to more important matters – protecting your ears. Continue reading
Mint.com sold to Intuit for $170 million (in just 2 years)
I just finished reading a great article on Inc.com about my favorite personal budgeting software – Mint!
In typical magazine fashion they published the article as a slideshow (to increase pageviews/ad revenue). Despite the article format, I found the information fascinating.
The headline reads “How this Kid Made $170 Million in 2 Years“, and documents 5 keys to building a great company. Continue reading
