I’ve been into music for as long as I can remember. In my youth, I spent more time memorizing the names of the members of Aerosmith than I did memorizing the names of the presidents in History class. That would come back to bite me later, but let’s just say I really loved music (and [...]
I’m not a professional affiliate marketer. I’m a user of several networks, but it’s not my goal to be the top dog in that industry. Obviously, I’ve got advertising on my little site here. It’s pretty minimal really, compared to some. If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s being beaten about the head and [...]

Over time, you expand your business into other areas – you make your own computers maybe, or perhaps a line of digital music players. [...]
I have a collection of bookmarks that I load as a group every day and woot.com is on that list. Not familiar with Woot? Skip the list and read my review of the site. Those that are "in the know" might dig this list: my "Top 10 Signs You’re Addicted to Woot.com" 10: You check [...]
The following was stolen from the trash can of Nathan Metzger, he of NotSoBoringLife.com fame. Apparently he’s a writer of some kind. Not So Boring Life: The Movie (Screenplay) Written by Nathan Metzger, Produced by Nathan Metzger, Directed by George Lucas. Opening: we see our two protagonists (Donny and "Bonzo") on a fishing boat in [...]
