The MySpace portal bores me and I really never use it. Not to mention it’s just riddled with spam. Currently I am on Facebook along with many of my friends.

I am really enjoying the social networking aspect of Facebook and I see a lot of potential for small businesses to jump in. I really love the cliques that are forming such as Web 2.0 (Entrepreneurs)

Currently I have it set where we need to actually know each other for you to access my profile. I do this for two reasons,

1. Not to be an ass but if I have no idea who you are then reading updates about you is a real waste of my time.

2. I was not selective with whom I befriended on Myspace. Perhaps this, along with reason #1 was why I got so bored with it. I figure if I keep my social network tight with Facebook I maybe more likely to engage myself.

I do not think Myspace is dead. I know a few people who are in the music industry and they do quite well with it. In fact, some labels will ask to see an artists Myspace page before seriously talking with the managers.

While watching a movie I was struck by this quote.

Our Deepest Fear
by Marianne Williamson

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

When it’s triple-digit temperatures I can think of nothing better than heading out to the Southern California desert to roast my ass on scorching aluminum bleachers. (more…)

We’re talking days people… Days!

My “Embed YouTube Videos In WordPress” blog post generates a ton of traffic to this website every day. What I have found interesting is that so many people have trouble with such a simple process.

Well, recently I have found out not all web browsers are created equal when it comes to operating the Wordpress Admin, specifically certain browsers that operate on a Mac.

For some strange reason certain versions of Safari on the Mac do not allows users to change from the Visual Editor to Code View when managing or writing a new post. I now also have seen this with certain versions of Firefox on the Mac.

My suggestion, if things are not working like they should in the Wordpress Admin , make sure you have updated your browser to the most current version. If things still don’t work, switch to another browser.

Even the new air conditioning unit is having trouble keeping the house temperature to a respectable level.

We had to do something, especially since my wife is 9 months pregnant and she is naturally several degrees warmer than I am.

So we picked up a Vornado for a hundred bucks as it claims to circulate the air. I kid you not, we have this fan on its lowest speed and our bedroom is probably 10 – 15 degrees cooler than any other room in the house.

The fan points towards the ceiling thus creating a circulating air effect that covers every spot in the room. It actually cooled the room so much; we turned down our air conditioning.
