GTA IV To Have âHot Coffeeâ? -I’m not one to spawn rumors around the masses of the Internet for self-glorification and e-penis enlargement. But I did come accross some interesting (yet, based) rumor the other day: that Grand Theft Auto IV (for 360 and PS3) could possibly have the infamous “Hot Coffee” mod built-into it. And might not be [...] more »
Hard Drive Crashed, Dâoh! -In a surprising chapter of events (or not so surprising, given how perfectly working things tend to fall apart on me all the time), my main desktop’s hard drive crashed on 4/4/08. It was a three-year-old Western Digital 160 GB 8 MB cache IDE hard drive, originally purchased for well over $150. At [...] more »

iPhone developers, unite! -A few months ago, after feeling the initial rush of getting a million users of our Facebook app We're Related in just 29 days, I set up a Facebook group with an admittedly dumb name: Utah CEOs With a Facebook Strategy. It now has 488 members. We met a couple of times in Provo earlier this year. Jason McGowan and Michael Jensen from our team at FamilyLink.com shared with about 30-40 attendees more »
Top 25 Facebook App and hybrid business models -I remember when I first learned about LinkedIn.com, and was the 4th person to sign up for it in Utah County. Soon I got into a competition with two friends to see who could end up with the most (real) connections. I finally won that competition, but we all ended up with hundreds of connections. But I remember when one of my friends knew they were losing on the connections number that they claimed to be winning on "endorsements." They changed the more »

Lloyds is pants -I saw a TechDirt story on TechMeme this morning about a bank in the U.K. that changed one of its members' passwords -- because his original password "Lloyds is pants" was insulting to the bank. Wow. They changed it to "no it's not" and also prevented him from changing his password to both "Barclays is better" and "censorship".

Every day I write the book -Starting a new chapter in one’s life is always a bittersweet experience. The feeling of leaving something behind is often a difficult one, but the knowledge of continual growth and evolution more than makes up for the wistful feelings of nostalgia of turning the page.

New theme again -I got fed up with the old theme, so I decided to try something else. I’m pretty pleased with the result. Only thing I’m not liking so much is the sidebar. The archive list is getting a bit too long and without it, I’ll have to put something else in the sidebar or move it [...] more »

Of course, the Super Bowl analysis will be on two fronts - what happened between the lines and what happened during the commercial breaks. Here is my all-time favorite Super Bowl advertisement.

Prime Angus Filets: Links this Week 1-11-2008 -More on Twitter
Sam Harrelson mentions my Twitter post in his daily Affiliate Fortune Cookie podcast and provides some great insight on how he uses Twitter as a communication tool. My takeaway from his recommendations are that Twitter spam and self-promoting broadcasts are the same unwanted communication as the telemarketer that calls you during dinner.
