As promised here are the words which have been qualified and disqualified for the $100 Challenge. The judges are still deciding on the winner of this challenge, but there will be a definite decision by Tuesday’s class. However, don’t forget about the $5 challenge I issued yesterday. This challenge is open to everyone in the [...]
I apologize to Ms. Draper’s students. I promised them that I would blog yesterday about the words which were disqualified for the $100 challenge. I haven’t forgotten, I just haven’t had the bandwidth to go through all the words again, but don’t worry I will get it up shortly (hopefully today).
However, I need to let [...]
Today, without planning it, I issued to Ms. Draper’s class the $100 challenge. What this challenge entails is finding a single word in the dictionary that is not already owned as a dot com. Example: elephant is in the dictionary, if you find that nobody owns www.elephant.com I will pay everyone on that team $100 [...]

Today was our first day going over all the essentials: web safety, the purpose of business, the different types of business, goals, and of course blogging. My hopes for this class is to show that anyone can make [...]
A friend just introduced me to Jott.com, and all I can say is—wow! Okay, I can actually say a lot more about this service. Jott gives you a toll free number that you call and talk up to 30 seconds. Then it emails you the transcript of what you just talked about. All off this [...]
So I have been fiddling with this website called IceRocket. The main focus of IR is on the blogging community. Imagine taking google, alexa, and technorati and rolling it into one big site, you would then begin to understand what IR is.
The first thing that I noticed about IR is how they used google’s clean [...]
Okay I just came across a really cool website, www.GeneralFreeware.com. I don’t think I’ve found a better freeware site on the web. Even download.com doesn’t have as much cool free stuff as these guys do. I was able to find a free chatting software that I will be using for a future project. When you [...]
It’s been a few days since I’ve written, which unfortunately means I have a thousand thoughts that I want/need to write. However, I will only burden you with the most pressing thought on my mind. This deep and burdensome idea came to me this weekend as I ran the Moab half marathon in Utah.
