The Subsidized Xbox 360 →

This seems like a pretty smart move by Microsoft. Even though basic math shows that the current full-price Xbox 360 + Xbox Live subscription is a better deal, people are going to look at this and think: “Oh! $99 Xbox...

I have been bouncing around with this thought in my head for years. I think its about time that independent music artist start to become more like Internet information marketers. Its one thing that info marketers do that I fail to see most new upcoming music artist do, and that’s build a solid email list.
Almost anyone on the internet who is making real money from pushing their own...

Some of you suck at networking
I recently had a great conversation with my good friend Richard Bailey on being an entrepreneur in 2012.
