Well it’s 2010 and what do we have to show for technological advances? Remember all the movies that thought we would have flying cars, spaceships that can take us to other planets, etc.. etc..? Anyways even though my title says all that I’m not gonna blabber on about it.. I guess I just wanted to update everyone that reads this blog.. maybe 2 – 3 people, if I’m lucky about 2010 and where I am at in life.

So what’s new in 2010? My wife left me, my daughter lives with her, I barely see them anymore.. but I guess that is in part to something that is actually good in my life.. I was just hired by a company called Stonecrop Technologies that recently took up the WiMAX project set out by Clearwire, so my best friend Cory and I are the ones.. literally the ones that will be getting your 4G (WiMAX) setup for 2011.

WiMAX is 4th Generation Mobile Internet, using Wireless Microwave Technology you’ll be able to use your mobile device to do things you could only do in the comfort of your own home or at your local Wi-Fi, this is possible due to the fact that WiMAX is 4 times faster than 3G, so if you thought 3G was fast wait until you see 4G. To put it in perspective 3G internet speeds vary from 700kbit/s – 1.5MBit/s, where 4G (WiMAX) will offer speeds anywhere from 3MBit/s – 6MBit/s, I have seen faster connection speeds with WiMAX but I’ll just give you the average speeds so I don’t excite you too much.

One thing to note is that Clearwire has some pretty cool partners such as; Intel, Sprint, Google, and Cisco. I believe Google actually made an investment into Clearwire of 3.2 Billion dollars which is the largest investment Google has put into a company other than itself, I would say that’s pretty cool!

So I have this really awesome job, I like what I’m doing, I get great pay with even better benefits so I’m doing good in that area, now as far as free time goes.. not so much. I work M-F from 8a-5p, the job includes a lot of lifting, not very heavy things but just a lot of lifting, so I am pretty exhausted by the end of my work day, so it’s hard to spend time with the people I want to spend time with, but that will change after I get into the swing of things, my body is in physical shock, I mean it’s been a while since I had a job like this that I have to do so much physical work. I mean it’s great I don’t mind the hard work, it’s definitely worth it, and it’s a great job so I’ll just leave it at that.

Even though somethings in my life aren’t so good I’m going to stay positive, live my life to the fullest, keep my head held up high and be as nice as I can be to the people that matter in my life.

Isn’t the world wide web just wonderful? I remember the days of using Lynx a text only browser that I used when I was using an ISP named prodigy, the WWW has certainly changed hasn’t it?

Well you can do almost anything on the WWW now, you can order from your favorite restaurant, file your taxes, and the most popular thing “Make Money” the WWW has been a cesspool for scam artists trying to make a buck. I have been the scamee and the scammer, mostly just not realizing that is was a scam I was offering, hence me being the scamee, anyways I have done a lot of money making things on the WWW in my day.

For a real legit way to make money I think I have finally found a few ways, and I can guarantee you this, these way will make you money and you’ll feel better wheeling and dealing these than any others you have before .

First thing: CafePress.com; You can create your own t-shirts and then offer them on the CafePress Marketplace.  As of right now I have made around $120 and it’s only been about a week, so there is money I didn’t have before just by making a t-shirt.

Second thing: Zazzle.com; I did the same thing as I did on CafePress with Zazzle but I get more commission with Zazzle than I do with CafePress, see with CafePress users have to purchase your product from you shop (ex: http://www.cafepress.com/mj_piano) in order for you to get full commission, because if your products are bought from the CafePress Marketplace you only gey 10% of the markup.  With Zazzle.com no matter where your product is purchased you’ll always make a similar commission, depending on what country the person is buying from, if they were referred to your product by another, or if they use a coupon, those might make a difference in your commission.  But as of right now I have made just over $750 and thats over the same timetable as the CafePress.  So obviously Zazzle is the way to go, but it’s always good to have more than one place to sell your products!

Third and last thing: BLUeCIGS.com; So it’s finally here, a way to still smoke, get your nicotine, and have that same habbit of placing it in your mouth, inhaling smoke/vapor and having that same sensation as you do with a traditional analog cigarette, that’s right they are called “e-cigarettes“.  The most popular and most affordable brand I found of these is called BLU, you can buy a starter kit for $59.95 which comes with everything you would ever need to start using an e-cig, details below;

* 2 BLU electronic cigarette batteries
* 1 BLU Self Cleaning atomizer
* Exclusive Pack that charges your blu on the go and carries 5 tips
* 1 Wall charger PLUS 1 USB charger
* 25 BLU cartridges in the flavor & strength of your choice
(equals over 350 cigarettes!)
* The best value in the industry all with a money back guarantee

.

Here is a video:

.

So how do you make money off of these? Well BLU offers an affiliate program where you earn 20% of every sale, so if someone buys a starter kit and they came from your link, you make $11.99, unless they buy extra atomizers, batteries, or cartridges you get even more depending on what they purchase.  Also a nice thing about it is if the customer returns to buy more product you get 20% of whatever they purchase for their entire time they are customers with BLU.  I have made about $85 from BLU so far and so can you!

So that’s all I have for some legit ways to making money and the wonderful world wide web, have fun be safe, oh yea if your going to make a t-shirt please, please make sure you own the image, unless you have permission from the copyright owners, because it would suck if a lot of people liked your t-shirt and your making $100/day and all of a sudden they delete your shirt and you get nothing, just read the policies and the terms of service and you’ll be just fine, I just wanted to give you a fair warning!

Stumbled upon this site the other day: www.Bragster.com

My first dare:

Enjoy!

Well I just signed up up over at eHow.com I wrote my first article on “How to Connect a TV to a Home Theatre System” eHow.com is a great place to write articles and make money at the same time, just make sure you have a lot of friends to pass the word along to, so the article gains it’s popularity. I am going to post on craigslist how to make money this way, and see how it goes.

So life has been okay, a little bumps and bruises here and there but nothing to big, the only thing I guess I will bring up is the lack of consideration a person has for another, I just want some consideration, that’s it. If plans change tell the person, we live in a digital world there is NO excuse, again NO excuse not being able to let someone know if your plans change.

Well that about sums it up for me right now, I’ll post more later.

Well so far my day has been quite interesting, I woke up to the sounds of snowplows and looked outside and saw a bobcat and truck with a large plow on it plowing away all the snow, I felt relieved because that meant I wouldn’t have to go outside and shovel all of that snow, I mean it was like a foot deep!

So I slumped out of bed into some jeans and a t-shirt, dropped the kids of at the pool, watered the lawn, and brushed my teeth, I made my way out to the kitchen, I was thirsty so I poured myself a large glass of 2% milk, I LOVE MILK, drank it all like in 1 minute… ahhh so good.

I arrived at my computer, checking my e-mail while still listening for my daughter Aurora to wake up, my wife emerged from the bathroom looking pretty hot for a business woman I might add, and continued to put on her coat, we said our goodbyes and she shuffled out to the garage.

Next thing I hear is “Sean!” I’m like now what? she yells “they did a real shitty job plowing this morning!”, she also asked me if I would shovel later and I said ok… a few minutes later she calls me and says “I’m stuck” I’m like wtfgrrbbqsauce, I tell her I’ll be right down, so I grabbed my jacket, threw on some boots, and made my way into the garage, lo and behold pure poop was a way to sum up their plowing job, so I get outside the snow is so deep she can’t even open the drivers side door hence the reason she called me.

Here I am freezing my butt off, shoveling thru several feet of snow to get this damn car out so she could go to work, I get enough snow out of the way for my wife to get out just in case I need to get in and do some abrasive maneuvers, to get the car out.

My neighbor opens her garage door and she was smart and had her car facing outwards, which is something I should have done the night before but I was lucky to even get in the garage as it was, anyways so she starts to shovel her way out as well because not only did they not do their job right they didn’t even plow our driveways, after she is done with her side she lends me a hand and starts to shovel from the front of my tire while I shovel from the back, we finally give enough leeway to free the tire from the hard packed snow.

So here we go, I get in and start my Minnesota heritage “getting the car out of snow” maneuvers, I get it in a position to make a long run threw the snow, no go I jammed the car into more snow I didn’t even see before… another neighbor stopped by and helped us make a nice rut to have the car slide threw and finally I was able to get it out, signaled the wife to get in and our job was done.

I thanked my neighbors for helping us and went back inside and started to get Aurora up and ready for the day, so that is what happened so far, I’ll post a little slide show of all the snow that was in my way, so look at these and while my day progresses I’ll add more to today’s blog.

This is my first entry on the B-Spot, nothing too much to talk about here but this will be my home for a while, I was getting sick of the old website layout and wanted to shake things up a bit.

So this is what you get, thank you to the guys that created wordpress it just frickin wicked and also the creator of this theme for wordpress is pretty awesome, sorry to all of you that may not like vista, but this is my site and I like it so that’s what you’ll see for a while until another theme catches my eyes.

Anyways I just wanted to welcome everyone to the site, I’ll be adding some cool things here and also be blogging from day to day ( or month to month =) ).

Thanks for stopping by,
