I was finally able to watch episodes 5-14 of TAC over a 3 day stretch last week. Overall I was pretty impressed with the show, even though my initial impressions left me wanting more. The acting got better, and they actually showed how some things were done, and some of the contestants shared [...]

When I find a new blog that I really like or think has some good information I usually want to read the whole thing, and in the past, I've been frustrated by how annoying it is to do it online. I just want all posts in one document, free of ads, that I can [...]

I've finally got the chance to view TAC episodes 2, 3, and 4 along with reading other people's comments of the show. I really don't want to add to the negativity of the show that seems to be in everyone's posts because I really don't see the point. I mean, yeah, the production [...]

I just finished watching the first episode of TAC and I think it is going to be a pretty interesting show. I live in Lincoln NE, where it is being filmed, so it is pretty cool to see my hometown as the backdrop for this show. My first impressions were that I expected a little [...]

Tonight was the Google Ad Manager Nebraska People Making Money Online meeting presented by Tigh and Jeremy at the new SMG offices here in Lincoln. It ended up being the best meeting that I've been to yet because only 5 of us were there (Jeremy, Tigh, Browie, some dude, and me)...it made for a [...]

About 6 weeks ago, when my darling little girl was born, I had this grand notion that I would quit drinking Mountain Dew. After all, my 3-or-4-can-a-day habit was getting kind of expensive with the skyrocketing prices of 24 packs and gas. And I figured that I was probably better off not drinking [...]

I sure would like to win another ipod nano. I really enjoy the one I won last time, and having a second one would alleviate the problem of having to lend mine to my kids. So happy birthday Browie and thanks for offering this contest. Check out the contest on his personal [...]

I haven't blogged for the past week and for good reason...my wife had our third kid on Thursday the 17th and I pretty much didn't turn on the computer for 10 days. Olivia was born at 7:56am, the same time as our son was born. For those of you that don't know, babies are really [...]

I signed up for Google's new Ad Manager about a month ago and received my invitation to join the program last week. I finally got around to playing with it tonight and have to say that I'm pretty impressed. All of the ads on this site are now set up with Ad Manager [...]
