http://www.kidmercuryblog.com/images/misc/jesus.jpg Photo by jurek d. Let me begin by stating that I am not a Christian. I am an astrologer, although that is not a religion -- rather a discipline that can be used to understand psychology. I only mention it because some people view...

Like the Internet itself, the 9/11 Truth movement is not centralized or planned. In spite of this, there are 911 Truth groups blossoming all around the world -- quite similar to how Internet usage and publishing continues to grow, in spite of a lack of centralization. In a decentralized...

I should begin by stating that I'm not an SEO. I have, however, spent the past few years studying SEO, and have worked on web projects with SEOs before. So I'm quite familiar with communicating about SEO. How will SEO be affected by the 2.0 revolution? This mini-series will attempt to...

I guess you could call it finance 2.0. "Web finance," if you're not so into the whole 2.0 thing (I find the 2.0 thing to be kind of silly, but it instantly signals "hey, I'm talking about current Internet business stuff," so I use it.) Anyway. Finance 2.0, which is essentially about...

Question: What's Google's biggest innovation? Search, you say? CPC advertising? Adsense? Answer: None of the above. Google's biggest innovation is in management. It is this management strategy that has allowed Google to innovate so quickly and so effectively across a number of niches....

Myths which are believed in tend to become true. -- George Orwell *** Most of us doing business online have heard the prophecy of where the Internet is headed. We're familiar with the buzz words: Peer-production. Long tail. RSS. API. Widgets. Attention economy. Mashup. Open source. ...

It needs no introduction. The disruption of the property rights economy will come as a peer-produced reconstruction of the edge. There you have it: the Prophecy of Web 2.0. Now to many, that sentence might seem like a bunch of hogwash. But those people probably haven't met...

Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning...The adventure of the hero is the adventure of being alive. -- Joseph Campbell *** Consider the Joseph Campbell quote above, and consider it in light...
