Last night, Dave and I attended ACE at the Washtenaw CommunityCollege. It was a great experience both on an intellectual level, aswell as on a practical level in terms of business executions.We arrived on time to grab some food before the program officiallybegan in the auditorium. The first order of business was their keynotepresentation, Hybra-Drive Systems, by CEO Rick Goldstein. This is

For the benefit of the many young or new designers and developers getting started in creating webpages, I would like to share some personal experiences. Historically, I have been dabbling with web projects since as far back as 1994/1995 when the Internet was still in its infant stage. Back then, the easiest and fastest way to get started was to get a Geocities account and set up a simple homepage

The Florida Gators can easily be considered a premier athletic powerhouse now, with a convincing victory over the heavy-favorites Ohio State Buckeyes for the National Championship of the BCS. It isn't hard to recall that only 9 months ago that the basketball Gators enjoyed a glorious March Madness and went on to defeat the UCLA Bruins for the National Championship.In light of such great

One of the most memorable episode from the Dot Com Boom of the late 90s for me was the luxury of being paid for the time I spent on the Internet. AllAdvantage was a wonderful service that displays ads in a sponsored-viewbar sitting on your screen as you go about your usual routine on the Web. For the most part, this sponsored-viewbar was really unobtrusive. It has never interfered with anything

Happy New Year ! Welcome 2007 !!One of the biggest and most significant technology events of 2006 has to be Apple's move from PowerPC to the Intel architecture. I am very happy that Apple made that switch to their entire product line during the year. I have been struggling to convert to a Mac for a few years now because of my job ties to Windows. It is difficult to justify buying a Mac for the

Merry Christmas !This Christmas season would be the battleground for video game console companies to duke it out, as each of the Big-3 have gotten their gears together in front of game-hungry consumers. Microsoft's bad boy has been out there the longest, the XBox 360 had a year-long headstart in this race. Nintendo and Sony sent out their best efforts almost within days of each other, with the

It has been 3 years since I moved to the Detroit area. This city has been a city of discovery for me and my family because there is a lot of diversity and variety in every facets, ranging from racial composition and dining options to socio-economic status and cultural events. In 2006, I believe Detroit cannot possibly have imagined the windfall from sports. Early in the year, Detroit hosted

During the holiday season, there is usually a lot of time to reflect. I have been looking back and wondered about the significance that 2006 has brought. As we approach New Year's Eve and 2007 in another few weeks, it is certainly important to feel grateful for the many significant events that have left an impression in me throughout this year. I will highlight one event each week for the next 5

I have been exploring real estate investing for at least a year now and I am confident that the ability to make good money is very real. However, I am also careful about the pitfalls. The risks can be overwhelming and financially painful to bear. As the following article illustrates, there can be some extremely costly mistakes to make.http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/housing/2006-10-22-

I have been programming for a long time, since 1993, if I am correct. Back then, my formal programming courses were in Pascal and Fortran. I also took the initiative to enroll in a couple of elective classes in C and C++ in order to have an edge. Well, it seems like I am always behind the curve and after more than a decade chasing a moving target, I finally came across a website detailing the

It has been quite an eventful weekend after all.Friday evening was quite a treat. I met Rodger and the rest of the ladies at Doc Watson's at about 5:30 or 6 PM. Played pool and had a few drinks. A little later, we decided to have dinner at Loma Linda's. I was starving by the time we waited and got a table. Anyway, the food was good. Can't complain much when you're so darn hungry.Saturday - Spent

I have been kinda' lazy with blog entries, as usual.Anyway, I rented the '8 Mile' DVD this past week. After watching the movie, it gave me a brand, new level of respect towards these rappers who have been through the school of hard-knocks. Obviously, they worked hard to achieve the success that they so deserved. On top of that, it is also very clear that Eminem is a brilliant person in his

After the LLC papers arrived, I had been looking into the next important steps of setting this operation up in the right direction. One of the initial course of actions include obtaining an EIN(Employer Identification Number) and establishing business credit. I filled out Form SS-4 on the official IRS website and received a provisional number on the spot. I also visited the Advanta website

I have made some substantial strides this year. As we celebrate Christmas tomorrow, I can truly say that I have initiated the birth of my own company as well. The 'Articles of Organization' for my LLC(Limited Liability Company), was mailed to the state of Michigan on November 11, 2005. On December 9, 2005, I received the document back with official filing stamp/seal. I am very glad to have taken

Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s;I have long wished and wished and wished to establish a business that I can call my own. But it takes more than just wishful thinking through the years in order to realize such an aspiration. In fact, the process itself is gradual and more of a journey, rather than an event.I have been planning to build a technology start-up company for a while. The

It is about time ..... to start this roadtrip, and to document the ups and downs - the failures and the successes. I will share my thoughts, my opinion and reflections on a variety of issues in my daily life and in a multitude of subject matters, especially with regards to business ventures and entrepreneurial activities.

Ever since the summer of this year, I have been a huge fan of CSI. When I was in Malaysia for the summer, my brother Jason introduced me to the TV show. As I sit down and actually follow the series on CBS every week, it became more and more apparent that the stories are highly addictive. On Mondays, I now watch CSI: Miami on CBS at 10PM, and then follow up with CSI: The First Season on TNN.

I know ... it's been months since I blogged. In fact, it probably seemed like I haven't blogged during the entire winter season for that matter.Well, it's Spring time ! And another week to go, before I get 1 week off for Easter break/Spring Break.No trips to South Padre Island. No trips to Panama City Beach. No trips to anywhere at all. Been there, done that. I guess it is just not a good

The sports marketing and advertising business never seizes to amaze me.Last week, we witness an endorsement deal beyond human comprehension. Yes, I am talking about LeBron James and his Nike deal worth $90 Million !!! According to sports experts and analysts, to put that into perspective, that amount is more than first endorsement deals signed by Michael Jordan(1984:Nike:$2.5M), Shaquille O’

I just thought I'd get myself into the habit of blogging.I've previously tried blogging before, but it wasn't very exciting. I hope this time around, with the vast community here, the experience will be much better. As always, if you're here, feel free to comment or send some props my way.
