Today I ran across a new blog written by web comic Howard Tayler. I wrote a blog post on TheLatest.At/Wikipedia about his refusal to help raise money for Wikimedia, the organization over Wikipedia. He’s trying to start a revolution to make Wikipedia more diplomatic and to make deletions the exception not the rule. This guy […]

I loved this quote by former journalist and now a consultant for Wikipedia:

Journalism is not a profession: it is not like being a surgeon or a lawyer. There was an uneasy attempt to professionalize it with the advent of j-schools etc., post-Watergate. But at its heart, it’s just a craft. And that means that it […]

I love this account from Jim Forbes about his short evacuation from the California fires with all his high tech paraphernalia and his dog. It just has nothing of feeling sorry for himself.

Ancestry.com was acquired by their biggest investor, Spectrum Equity for $300 million. The story looks to have broke on TechCrunch and I didn’t […]

I wanted to see what people in Utah were searching for online. I was surprised how many people are searching for cars like jeeps in Provo, Utah. I have a blogging solution that can help Utah car dealerships get some of that traffic to their web site. It’s saving businesses loads on pay-per-click advertising. Note […]

I met Teresa Tao at CJU this year. She was gracious enough to answer a few questions about her award and the affiliate program at ShoeBuy.com. The program is just two years old and she won a 2007 Commission Junction Horizon Award for her contribution to the industry. They have also been honored by Shopzilla, […]

I’ve never been to a First Friday that started or ended on time. The problem with this one (my second) is that I couldn’t hear or understand most of it. And I was sitting on the second row. It wasn’t loud enough and covered so much ground that it was tough to follow.
