Before going to Blog World Expo and PostieCon earlier this month, I ordered business cards. I knew that I’d be meeting a lot of people in a short span of time, and business cards would be the best way to get someone to take home my email and URL with them. Aside from that, expos like this typically do lots of drawing and door prizes, which require you depositing a business card into a fish bowl. Who am I to turn down the chance to win things just for donating a business card? I knew before I ordered that I wanted unique business cards – something...

Ever wondered what Mike Arrington would look like if his picture was put on LOLCats or I Can Haz Cheeseburger? Your days of wondering are over…I’ve done all of the work for you, and you can see it for yourself at my most recent post on Simple Kind Of Life, entitled “How Low Can He Go?” I’ve taken a lesson from Mr. Assington’s…opps, ARRINGTON’s book…and figured out that by insulting him, I can increase my blog’s traffic. After all, that’s why he goes after PayPerPost so often…right?...

Isn’t it amazing what the internet has done for all of us? It’s given people like me a way to meet new friends, be entertained, solve problems, and spend money – all from the comfort of my own home. When I think about how just a mere 10 years ago, I was forced to leave my home to order Christmas cards, or go out to playdates for us to meet new people – well gosh, I’m sure glad the good ole’ World Wide Web is here. And the internet has also given a lot of us the platform to talk about the things we love the most, be it...

We’re slowly but surely wrapping up our Christmas shopping…I know, I know – it’s not even December! I’m never on the ball like this. We purchased Guitar Hero III (with 2 guitars) for the kids, and I’m thinking about getting them Rock Band as well. It’s a Guitar Hero-ish game that has room for a guitar player, a drummer, and a singer. See that – 3 players in the game, and I have 3 kids. Perfect! My only issue is that the game requires a lot of “stuff”. You need the guitar, the drum kit, and...

With each year, my son gets more and more interested in video games. We gave the kids a Playstation 2 for Christmas last year, and while the girls do play on it, it’s my son who plays it the most. On his list for Santa this year, he asked for an Xbox, and I had to break the news to him that Santa isn’t going to bring him a second gaming platform. Santa IS going to bring him more games and gaming accessories though. Last year, shortly after we got the PS2, I bought myself a wireless controller so that I could play from the couch. A few months...

My friend Ang had an article written about her that’s gaining quite a few Diggs. The piece was originally published on CNET News.com, and was republished by a blogger who got it on Digg. Aside from the asinine comments a few assclowns have left on the Digg.com link, it’s a nice little piece, and highlights the fact that it’s not just A-list bloggers making cash online. Many people are paying their mortgage, or enjoying vacations, or having a debt free Christmas, thanks to this relatively new found blogging income!

While I was stumbling last night, I came across a blog entry about Jeremy Schoemaker (aka Shoemoney) and a huge Adsense check he earned 2 years ago. How huge was it? How about $132,994.97? Nice payday, huh? I wondered how one guy made that much cash with advertising in a month, and the answer dropped into my lap this morning. Shoemoney is the guy behind NextPimp.com, a site devoted to supplying users with completely free ringtones. It’s quite the success too, with 3 million ringtones in the database, and half a million users of the site. I’ve...

With vacation and such, I was out of the office for a few weeks. I wanted in this morning, much to the amazement and delight of my coworkers, only to find that some assclown had dirtied up my desk while I was gone. For pete’s sake – if you’re going to borrow someone’s personal space, at least have the decency to throw away your nasty coffee cup, and clean up the coffee rings you left all over my desk! Also, whoever took my wastebasket, please return it. If not, I will begin throwing my trash at random coworkers.

I had the pleasure of calling our pediatrician this weekend, and it was after hours, which means I got his answering service. Why do these companies always make me feel like I’m a pest for daring to call the doctor after 5pm? Just for once, I’d like to get an answering service on the phone that has their act together, and judging from the feedback on this telephone answering service, they’re out to impress. The 1-800 We Answer Answering Service has been in the biz for 35 years…and they’ve impressed thousands of clients, and...

You have to wonder what stupid kids like this did before the internet. Before, their acts of complete stupidity were limited to an audience of a few friends and classmates, but now, with the world wide web, we can all point and laugh. (I’m just happy none of my kids have tried something like this yet!) Kid Sticks Face In Fire Ant Hole – Watch more free videos
