Annual Life Change

It's odd, but it seems that every year in November/December, I make a decision that vastly changes my direction in life.

It's a good thing. It's a great thing.

2007 will be amazing.

Unnecessary Censorship

This made me cry uncontrollable... due to excessive laughter. Thank you Jimmy Kimmel!




There is a lot more of this. Just put on your laughing hats and search for "unnecessary censorship" on YouTube.

Why I Switched to Bank of America

I've had my personal account with Bank of America for a while. Their online bill pay is 10 times better than Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo, and CitiBank.

But this video is why I decided to switch my business banking to Bank of America (you can skip a few minutes to get to the good part:

So Sharp the Blades of Clocks

My one desire recently has been to slow down. Time is on fast-forward and I'm caught in a vicious cycle of wake up, work, sleep a few hours, repeat. All the schedule pressures and stress are causing me to start resenting what I actually enjoy doing.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who experiences this, and I can't help but feel that I am not doing something correctly. There has to be a way to balance work and life, even while expanding a startup.

I read about the CEO's of well established companies and become envious, but not because of their money. I envy the low-stress, high output lifestyle they lead: Wake up and go for a run, read a new book every week or so, visit different cities, write articles about where they want the company to go. I'm sure they have to deal with a lot of pressures, but that's the difference: They know how to deal with it without letting it affect their passion or life.

By the end of the year, I need all this figured out.

and now it has passed. I am officially 22 years old. What has changed? Nothing. Let's hope this year of age shall be filled with wonderful and exciting things, like cottage cheese. Yeah... I haven't had that for a long time.

No More Ads (Mostly)

I've removed the affiliate ads at the top and to the right of my blog. They weren't doing anything for me (bringing in a few dollars a month) and were an eyesore. It's amazing how easy it is to get into the mindset of trying to monetize everything. Some things are better left alone.

I think there needs to be a revolutionary change in ads soon. We have so much information about people and their habits, is there really no way of aggregating all that data to make advertising more effective? I am more than willing to look at a relevant ad for something I actually need or want, but if that ad is shown in the middle of hundreds of irrelevant ads, then what's the point?
