So I went ahead and jailbroke at 3.1.2. If you are not an iPhone user this means I upgraded to the latest firmware (I was at 3.01) and then jailbroke my phone so that I can install other applications. What is the big deal? Well it isn’t a big deal really since I used blackra1n.com [...]
I do not claim to be very educated in the liberal arts and sciences, in fact I play down any education I may have picked up over the years in my BS and MBA or “reading” books as I do. I recently chanced upon a blog not unlike my own where the “author” was reviewing [...]
I started using Google Public DNS the day I found out about it from DLS here. I have used open dsn in the past and I use that as my default at home. Why use both? How? Why use both Open DNS does a lot of protection stuff. It protects my 8.75 year old from [...]
I have a machine at home that I treat as a “server”. It does all of my torrent downloads, hosts all of my remote desktop sessions, it checks my devry email and forwards it to gmail, as well as converting anything I download to iPhone format. My intention was to make this machine a bit [...]
Man can .vhd or Virtual Hard Drive files get big! At my day job we use a lot of Virtual Machines that run on Virtual PC. This is mainly my doing. The rest of the company mainly uses vmware, but I start with Virtual PC years ago at Business Integration Group and it just stuck. [...]
So I have a few sites that use amazon ads for their mains source of revenue. http://rvgadgets.net is one and http://www.kidstoysquad.com is another.

You can express complex calculations using the application. He made lots of money selling the app. So if you type in Jason you will get [...]
So I started a website called http://KidsiPhoneAppReview.com and so far the response has been very good. I have found that there are a lot of developers out there that just need their app to be reviewed. You can pay a few sites to do it — I am told — but I do it for [...]
Making Money When I was starting a few of my sites I had the temptation to add pop-ups and link ads and all sorts of stuff to my site to generate revenue. You want to earn as much revenue from your visitors as you can right? Sure. You have costs to pay after all. What [...]

Stealing from customers? Who would do that? If you really want to alienate your customer base you could try stealing from them… It is not a new idea mind you: Look at the names on that report. Buy.com, 1800 flowers.com etc. You have visited these sites and they have tried to steal from you by [...]
I will be tweeting some photos, but so far we have driven to San antonio Texas. We ate at chicos tacos in el paso, koa’d in Van Horn and visited the Sonoran Caverns. Swimming pool was nice too. About 1000 miles in two days. Fun! Alamo and river walk tomorrow. Perhaps the zoo.
