The Google Operating System

Not long ago Google released their mobile operating system called “android”. I used it for a while on the first release of the G1 with T-mobile and although it was new and cool it did lack many features and was sub par compared to the iPhone (which I currently have the 3GS). Now, today Google releases that they are in the process of creating an operating system! This could change the world as we know it… Article Link

The Google Car

Next, we have the possibility of a Google car!! The car is not going to have a seat, steering wheel, etc. It is supposed to be comfortable with bench style seating and confronting you with “Where would you like to go” when you first enter the car. Electric at its best…

Do you think Google will take over insurance as well? Will Google reimburse me when the car gets in an accident. Will you only be able to have Google insurance? Lots of questions in my mind. Article Link

Today, I started posting quotes (motivational and otherwise) on twitter for my followers to think about. The quote today is ”Some people have greatness thrust upon them. Very few have excellence thrust upon them.” - John W. Gardner If you have a twitter account, click the logo on my sidebar and follow me for the updates. I always like to start my day with something to think about… even if it is a question which doesn’t have an answer. If anyone has a favorite quote please contact me so I can put it on twitter.

Hi!

Ya, I don’t update the blog often anymore after all its been up forever now! Just wanted to go over a few things in the industry and life of me… (my blog eh)

First, yes I finally moved into my new house and its been really exciting although a ton of work so far. I think (hope) it makes me more productive and really motivational!

Next, facebook seems to hate me lately and I just keep having to adjust the few campaigns I got on there as the change their rules. FTC has a press release coming out tomorrow about all the grant offers on fb. Not sure exactlly what its going to say but I stopped running my cheddas blog etc.. Also, on wf they said all the auto rebill offers are going down asap! This means most everything you currently see on fb so start expanding your ads!

Then, I also have been working on two new ideas I had. One will help me to go into the advertiser side of affiliate marketing for the first time and the other idea is a new website (which wont be ready for a while) but will hopefully take over its niche… all around seo and ppc etc!

Until next time. Hit me up on aim or send me an email!

As a follow up to my September 15, 2008 article Louisville Power Outage, I am sad to report that Louisville, Kentucky is once again without power, on quite a large scale, due to ice storms which ravaged the city on Monday evening. Early estimates say that Louisville, KY and Southern Indiana have over 500,000 homes and businesses without power, which is the largest power outage in Louisville history. The Courier-Journal has quoted Louisville Gas and Electric (LG&E) officials as stating that we can expect for most of the coverage to be out for 7-10 days. That is a chilling thought considering the average daily temperature is only 24 degrees.

What’s even more chilling is that this the second time Louisville residents have been without power on such a wide scale in less than sex months!! See Louisville Power Outage. However this time the outage is not as depressing for me because we have power at my house. On the September 15th outing, we were one of the last houses to have our power restores – 7 days without electricity in the middle of summer!

Here are some photos of the ice in Louisville, Kentucky:

Wow, so I could have split this post into like 5 posts (see nickycakes blog) but I really don’t feel like typing that much. In short I thought Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas was amazing and althought I met not have learned as much as some of the other Affiliate Summits, I sure had a blast seeing all the people I knew, my blog subscribers, affiliate managers, etc.

I have like 1,000 pictures in crazy high resolution but I am uploading like a dozen I had time to shrink for you all. I had never been to Vegas before so Jonathan and I stayed at the Venetian and out of pretty much all the hotels we visited we agreed besides the Bellagio the Venetian was by far the best themed hotel to stay at! Here are some pictures of the hotel and our hotel room:

The first night we went to a party sponsored by Wickedfire and someone else (whom I forget) at a mansion. The pics are of the indoor pool..

Then I took Jonathan around shopping to buy a watch and low and behold you can’t take him anywhere without running into trouble. He was looking at the watch he liked and he amazingly gets it stuck on his jacket! It was quite hilarious at the time!

The rest of the pics are of company booths, eli doing the crab, and some lambos!

Also, last but not least let me shout out to Jeff at Copeac for taking us out to a private asian themed lunch and showing us a good time in Vegas. You are the man and your company knows how to throw a party. Signup for copeac if you havn’t already and make some money!
