    How to Survive on the Ever Changing, Ultra Competitive Internet

    February 18th, 2008 | Business Rants, Marketing | Giovanna | 8 Comments

    The business climate on the Internet is TOUGH!!! Books that were published a couple years ago on traffic, conversion and SEO are now mostly outdated. In 2004/2005, you can rank really well just on reciprocal links. If you wanted one-way incoming links, all you had to do was submit your article to submission services. There […]

    The Business Book Buying Binge

    Ah, so many books so little time. It would be totally awesome to have a Spring time book reading retreat in the Swiss Alps. It’s not going to happen this year but maybe in 09. Anyway, I thought it was time to refill my mind with new knowledge because change is faster than ever before and old […]

    Wanna Make More Money, You Poor Piece of Sh*t?

    February 5th, 2008 | Business Rants | Giovanna | 6 Comments

    I’m rich and you’re a loser. If you want to get laid by the prettiest girls, then save the weekly allowance you get from your grandmother and buy my products – you rotting pool of pus. Sound Familiar? I get irked when marketers lobby their products and claim that their strategies are the only valid […]

    R-E-E-E-J-E-C-T-E-D!!!

    January 29th, 2008 | Business Rants | Giovanna | 5 Comments

    That was my favorite word to yell out when I was cheering for the team. I played and watched a lot of basketball back in school and for some reason, I would get more excited when shots were blocked than shots made. I would scream…R-E-E-E-J-E-C-T-E-D with so much glee and enthusiasm. I was a point […]

    2008 Trend Report

    January 27th, 2008 | Marketing | Giovanna | No Comments

    I was able to finally review the contents of this package. I’ve always been a fan of trend spotting due to my fascination on how ideas spread and the creative minds behind them. It also delivers a wealth of ideas for future business pursuits. The section on open source footwear and ubiquitous e-commerce got the […]

    No Golf for 6 Months

    January 26th, 2008 | Golf | Giovanna | 3 Comments

    I think the last time I swung my clubs was back in August 2007. I miss playing it but I expect to be a little rusty the first few games. The farthest I’ve gotten was 215 yards with a men’s Big Bertha 2 Plus Driver. That was my best but I average around 185 yards […]

    What Happened to The Mighty Greenback?

    January 26th, 2008 | Business Rants | Giovanna | 2 Comments

    When I started working after college in my early 20’s, I was very proud of the United States’ progress and the strength of its currency. I have traveled to pre-Euro Europe, Canada and Mexico. The U.S. Dollar went a long way back then and everything seemed “cheaper”. What happened? Aside from the devaluation of the […]

    How Mista Wong Changed My Life

    We argue a lot over petty things and you easily get excited causing you to raise your voice. Sometimes, we behave like undisciplined children. But beyond that, you have opened my eyes and showed me how to love and commit. The best way to show someone that you really care for them is to love […]

    Final Fantasy 3 DS

    I got this game for Christmas and I’ve been playing it for hours each day. I’m so hooked, too bad I’m almost at the end of the game. I love the Final Fantasy series and prefer RPG games over any other genres. The best feature of FF3 DS is the classic 16-bit style of play. […]

    Why It's Healthy to Have NO WORK Days

    January 10th, 2008 | Business Rants | Giovanna | No Comments

    We’ve all been burnt out at sometime. If you’re self employed, I think it’s healthy to have days where you do no work at all. Don’t get me wrong, I love and enjoy the challenge of my job but we all need time out. Feeding ducks at the park, visiting friends and family or just […]
