With affiliate marketing becoming so popular people are moving away from Google Adsense, but a lot of people are still dependent on it for income and I am one of those people. Since Google decided to screw us on the clickable area it has been harder and harder to make the money we used to….
Motivation From CES
Besides all of good times at the parties and events during CES the thing that I took away most from CES was motivation. I have been working on ThinkComputers since 2001 and I wouldn’t have imagined that it would be my full-time job that actually pays well and I enjoy doing. I proved to a…
The CES 2008 Swag
Almost every trade show you go to there will be some type of swag given away, usually its t-shirts and pens, but some companies go out of their way to have some really cool swag to make you remember them. This year at CES I did end up getting a good amount of swag, although…
Arbitrage For Beginners
Arbitrage is a word you probably have heard around the blogosphere. So what is it really? Wikipedia explains that arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a price differential between two or more markets. So basically you want to capitalize on the imbalance. Still don’t follow? Ok let’s make this easier, say you make…
CES Wrap Up
As I said CES really kicked my ass! Unlike a lot of people who went for fun, I was there for work. One of my goals for this year is to take ThinkComputers to the next level and with that means a lot more work. So while at CES we tried to cover as much…
Vegas at Night
Las Vegas is an amazing place, of course it is known for its hotels and casino’s, but it is also one of the United States fastest growing cities. I have been to Las Vegas 3 times and each was great, every year it seems like they are building something new. I have never flown into…
The Pens Can Win Without Crosby
As you all know I am a huge hockey fan. Living in Pittsburgh I am of course a Pittsburgh Penguins fan. Friday one of the worst things that could have happened to the Penguins did, Sidney Crosby got hurt, suffering a high ankle sprain. Usually in Hockey a high ankle sprain will take you out…
Sony Online Entertainment Party
As I said before so many parties at CES are the same. Most companies will have their party in a Suite and it usually is the same every year. Well to set themselves apart from other companies Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) has a poker tournament in the spirit of Las Vegas. Now originally I was…
Bill Gates Last Day at Microsoft
One thing that I always looked forward to at CES was the Bill Gates keynote, not only is he a great public speaker, they was always usually a funny video in there, if sure some of you remember the Bill Gates goes to college video. Since this yeah was his last CES keynote he made…
Envy Steakhouse with John Chow
If there is one food I couldn’t live without it would have to be steak. It is probably my favorite food. That is why I was so mad that John was not able to have this years TTZ Media dinner at Envy Steakhouse, as I posted earlier we just went to a buffet. Envy Steakhouse…
Dinner and Phantom of the Opera
There are so many CES parties, but they are mostly all the same. This year LiteOn and AOC did something different. These 2 companies went out of their way to really treat us. First they took us to see Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian. I had not been to a show since high…
Starting Off CES Right!
The only way to start off CES is with a party! This year John, Stephen, and I threw the CES Kickoff Party, but instead of the MGM Skylofts we went with the Absolut Suite at Caesars. The suite is of course themed after Absolut Vodka, what better place to throw a party! The suite has…
CES Kicked My Ass!
Well CES is finally over and I am relieved. I had hoped to give you guys daily updates on what was going on at CES, but that didn’t happen. With all of my meetings, appointments, and partying throughout the week it was really hard to find the time to do work, let alone update the…
My First Pho
I had not heard of Pho until this year. John always talked about going to get Pho and after checking out his posts I was very intrigued to go try it. Problem was there were no places around Pittsburgh that sold the stuff. Well not so in Vegas! As I said in my earlier post…
The NHL Winter Classic
January 1st we witnessed hockey history! The first ever NHL outdoor game in the United States was played at Ralf Wilson stadium in Buffalo. Now there have been other outdoor games like the heritage classic, which was in Canada, but this was the first one in the United States. The 2 teams selected were Buffalo…
