Cotton Rohrscheib

I've been an entrepreneur my entire life and have been blessed to have been associated with hundreds of startups and projects throughout my career. A few years ago I started offloading many of my business interests to spend more time w/ my family and retool my focus toward the agricultural industry, ultimately I landed at Farmers Business Network, Inc. w/ a great team of people w/ shared mission / vision and the rest is history! I still operate my personal website & blog occasionally on topics of interest to me including; parenting, agriculture, technology, and whatever else comes my direction! My blog, cotton.buzz, is the product of over 20yrs worth of content, photos, podcasts, videos, etc., and all of the content I produce is mine personally, and only represent my views and/or opinions on topics and do not represent any of the businesses or associations I'm affiliated with.

I am a little late to the punch on this one but MySpace has launched their own self-serve advertising platform. I am not a huge MySpace fan so this one almost slipped by me. I spent a little time tonight checking it out and I have to admit that their application for building the ads […]

A hot topic in the Facebook Developer Community right now has to do with the idea that Facebook will soon start charging a $375 application verification fee annually to developers who develop applications for the Facebook platform. In exchange, the developers applications will be awarded an official facebook stamp of approval badge and priority listing […]

Verizon Leaks Obama’s Phone Records

November 21, 2008 by Cotton Rohrscheib Leave a Comment

Wow, talk about a breach of security. Apparently some Verizon employees are out of a job following their exploits of dipping into President-Elect Barrack Obama’s cell phone records. I just can’t imagine someone’s mindset thinking that they could get away with something like this. All I can say is that I hope they didn’t jeopardize […]

I just wanted to post a little bit about a project that I will be working on in the coming weeks. My business partner Greg Smart and I were talking the other day about document management inside of MODx and sorting by timestamp. Now, if you are unfamiliar w/ MODx, you should check it out, […]
