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.

Tim Bray of Sun Microsystems delivered an awesome keynote speech at the Future of Web Apps Expo 2008. Unlike many keynotes (which generally tend to be upbeat), Tim spoke about the economic tough times ahead, and what you can do to get though them. There’s some very solid advice in this presentation.

Yahoo Email Vulnerability

This is yet another reason why premium email solutions, like those offered by Pleth Networks, are a wise investment even for personal usage over free hosted email solutions. I ran across this security notice this evening on Pleth Networks, LLC, who sells a premium email solution for individual and enterprise level accounts. If you are […]

Acxiom Reports Earnings

I thought that it was interesting that even during an economic downswing that Acxiom was able to post a 20% Increase in earnings this quarter. They released their earnings today, and ACXM Shares closed today slightly higher, this will definitely make the shareholders happy given that just about everything in their portfolio has taken a […]
