Taking Sabbatical!

31 07 2007

I looked up the word Sabbatical and its definition pretty well describes what I am going to be doing.

A sabbatical year is a prolonged hiatus, typically one year, in the career of an individual taken in order to fulfill some goal, e.g., writing a book or traveling extensively for research.

Well, I guess it is time to finally fess up that none of this stuff out here on the internet really works. I would like to say it is just me, but unfortunately there are a large number of us out here that are now realizing that None of this is really all worth it.

I will be taking a sabbatical to work on my next book that I will be outlining all of the fallacies of the internet…until then you may want to check out my other book to catch up on what is going on.

You can check out the periodic blogs I will post over at my main site, IBGS Blog. Hope you enjoy the archive of blogs I have posted here.





Video-roma: What a day

30 04 2007

OK, I got a lot done today…made no money, but got a lot done.mr-business-golf-in-the-library-cropped-small.jpg

brightcove.gifSpent several hours getting my BrightCove account set up and posted a couple of my creations…still have a lot to do as far as quality of the video and sound, but that is all be set up in Bagroom 1 and 2.

golf-girl-full-length.jpgGolfGirl gave me a hallar…seems she also will be doing videos soon. And of course Rex Dixon is out pitching everyone who has a good deal to everyonerex-dixon-9-20061thumbnail.jpg who needs a good deal.

After getting through my TDL and two of the PL’ I went over to GiveMeAfrigginBreak.com WordPress gmafb-inital-green-g-flat-black-small.jpgsite and sent out a reminder that the site is still in Alpha…if there are any developers out there who want to make it happen, RD and I are looking for someone to help get it where it should be.

Worked on the BlogLog a little while….wanted to shack the Google tree on the videos coming…

Emails: got an email asking what happen to the Ask Mr Business Golf Show..ask-mr-business-golf-flatw2.jpg.well it is coming back as a video…I have been waiting to get the video editing program and get to where I could use it effectively before going in any directions…these shows will be located over at Brightcove Studio…the site that has some really good quality videos.

Well that should hold ya until I can get another report on what is not working out here in cyberspace…but it is all worth it sometimes.





Getting After It! TDL and PL’s

30 04 2007

mr-business-golf-in-the-library-cropped-small.jpgWorking on my To Do List (TDL) today.  I was multitasking working on a few tasks at the same time and talking to Rex Dixon via email about the finerrex-dixon-9-20061thumbnail.jpg points of managing a TDL…

I finally got a version of the video introduction finished and uploaded it to my  Brightcove.com account.  Looks good…placed the code on my VideoCasting page plus launched a blog announcing what is going on.

Then I was off to do some offline projects on the Project List (PL), like repairing the tile on the kitchen countertop. 

Got that done in short order so now I ma back here checking emails.  Received an answer from BrightCove.com on how to get into their Studio where can set up my videocasts and rent them to viewers….I was getting an error message so I asked for help.  I got help but we are still talking via email.

Cruised around looking at my stats and saw where people are hitting my Club Corp & KSL blogs on both of my sites, so I called for another strafe run on the subject and blogged more information I dug up during the rounds of golf I played at the club this weekend…didn’t take much since everyone at the club is in a WTF mood and some or selling their homes on the course an moving off to private clubs where they have a say in what the club does….

Put out a blog announcing the videos I am producing…hope to get some more out soon.

Getting things set up to do some videos this evening…guess I need to get ready for that…
