Steve Poland over at Techquila Shots blog brought up an interesting point. He talks about the advantages of sharing your business ideas with the public. Break-down the wall of fear that “Someone is going to steal my idea if I talk about it!� — IT’S JUST AN IDEA. Go get people’s PRICELESS feedback on your idea, evolve it, and execute. If someone stole your idea during that process, you’re 49 people ahead of them in finding out how to truly evolve it into something that will work. Execution is the key. Don’t execute until you know from 50 people’s perspectives that you’ll be executing properly. I definitely agree ...

Things have been going good so far. Thank's for all the comments in the Part 1. We appreciate all the support! Step 3: Budget yourself This step was probably most fun for me. Call me crazy, but anything finance related is fun for me. It' s my major after all! What started as a couple of simple numbers and calculations in Excel quickly grew into an extensive spreadsheet covering almost every part of our lives. Since my father has humongous Excel spreadsheets for his own finances, he helped me out a lot. Unfortunately, I live at school right now and we barely have enough time to talk about it on weekends. This is where ...

Yes, it's true. My girlfriend Mandy and I will be moving to San Francisco this upcoming summer. School will be finished by the time May rolls around and it's time to grow up. It's time to be an adult, so hopefully we're both ready. This decision was a tough one. San Francisco is over 2,200 miles away from home and the distance will be hard to overcome for a while, but I spent whole summer in California, so it's doable. Having Mandy's support and presence will make it so much easier. I decided to document our moving process both to get tips and to also help anyone else who may be in the same situation in the future. Step 1: Get a ...

Let's begin with this: Reinvigorate is great! Now let's backtrack a little bit. Reinvigorate used to be a very useful website tracking tool. Most importantly, it was free. At this point I'm gonna start making things up. Blatantly. Then it went down and many wept for there wasn't a great tool to see live statistics anymore! I really don't know what happened, but I think the demand grew, fast, and they couldn't keep up (?), so it went down hard. But rejoice! It is back! And apparently it's better than ever! Ok, enough with the exclamation points! (whoops.) The new tool has a plethora of useful ...

I just found this Mac app today and it's pretty interesting (yet simple). If you follow multiple MP3 blogs, this tool will consolidate all of them in one nice interface and allow you to play and download any music files it finds. Think of this as NewsFire RSS reader but for MP3 blogs only along with iTunes interface and simplicity. Looks like it will be priced very nicely at $14.95, but for now you can try it out while it's in beta for free! So get on it and let me know what you think and what MP3 blogs you frequent. Don't listen to any ...
