Technically Speaking

One of my sponsors, Innovative Business Golf, is conducting a survey. I hope that you will Participate in the IBGS survey.

For those that do not remember, I did do a podcast review many moons ago on his book - How To Play Business Golf.

You can also hear an interview with Mr Business Golf (Scot Duke) that I conducted, as well as the last podcast Coffee with Rex Dixon we did with Paul O’Flaherty.

Technically Speaking, Thanks in advance for helping out.

What power is that? To use the internet to make more money at your job. The sites the NY Times are mentioning today are great sites when you go in for that next annual review. Now if you are like most people, there are good chances your company will refuse to pay the market rate for your job. Most companies are like that. In fact, most companies will tell you how much money they made last year, and then slap you in the face with a standard 3-4% raise.

When you think about it, that barely covers the cost of the rising gasoline prices in this country. How do you stop the madness that companies have over your earnings? Well as most of us have discovered, the way to go is of course right here, online.

There are millions of dollars available here. Right here, right now. My advice is to take the advice of the article above and to try to negotiate a better salary. Once your boss squirms and says,”Well yes, the company made $10 gazillion last year, but…. ” But what? You can’t afford to pay the loyal slave a living wage? You can’t afford to read the news that shows we are in the midst of recession, which won’t be admitted until months from now? You don’t care that your workers show up to make that $10 gazillion for your company, and would rather just fire you then pay you what you deserve?

Yes folks, come online and start your way to money. This can be through services such as Agloco which use to be the old AllAdvantage dot com. They are getting to release the viewbar this month, and if you click the link above you can sign up and start making money that way. Entrepreneur John Chow made money with AllAdvantage dot com. Rex Dixon also did, but not quite as much as John did back in the day.

I’ll be honest, when I first heard about Agloco and realized it was the AllAdvantage, I was thinking, “Been there, done that… ” That article was a sort of hasty one I put together, and to be quite honest, I’m now after further review thinking - “I’m going to give Agloco a shot again just like I did with AllAdvantage.” As much as I am online these days, I stand to make a pretty decent size check from them. I made decent money with the old AllAdvantage, can’t remember exactly how much, but it was like around $100 something a month. Not too shabby for surfing the internet right? I say go sign up, and what do you have to lose?

Now with that all being said, be sure to give some Sunday love to all my sponsors here. Collarity, DigitalRon, askitonline, yourminis, HTPBG the book, and Planypus. You can also of course help this blog out by providing a donation via one of the three “Make A Donation” buttons you see on the right. Another way to help out this blog is to buy one of the T-Shirts to help spread the word by just going about your business and wearing one.

Most of you readers are probably glad that GMAFB has it’s own blog now. I did a slight cosmetic update over there on Friday night. I just looked at this morning, and there are like close to 47 items out there that need a FRIGGIN’ BREAK. You should really considering joining the site, as signing up will open up your ability to vote, comment, participate, etc. Close to 500 people viewed the site the other day; think it was Friday. I wish I had my changes in before that, but nevertheless, it’s pretty self explanatory how to use.

I understand that some people are a bit slow on the uptake, and for those, Second Mule will be hopefully be creating a podcast explaining how to use and utilize GMAFB. I think it’s a simple concept, but there are others out there that have expressed a “WTF?” as far as how to use the site. I am not at all making fun of them, but more like am very happy that SM will be creating a podcast for the site later today. We are trying as a team to spread the word over there on GMAFB, and once it catches on, I still truly believe that it will be a lot of fun.

Speaking of podcasts, I hope our good online friend Paul from the Coffee show #6 is okay. You can listen to that podcast right here on the blog; right side bar - the SplashCast widget for the podcast. Paul has also become quite the podcaster! If you have not heard, it appears that there is a bit of unrest going on over in Denmark. I want to make a plea now to the rioters - “Chill out man, Denmark ROCKS, and they are like Technically Speaking’s biggest readers!”

The Denmark comment above is according to Alexa, but who believes those stats? I do however notice that my Technorati stats are creeping up slowly, nothing like my good friend Kittymama though. She has even left the hottest tech blog in the dust. Sorry Allen, but she passed you standing just like she left me on the charts. Way, way back. At least you have a shot of passing Kittymama up!

Technically Speaking, it is like a bloggers nightmare out there today. There is really hardly anything that grabs me to write. I have already Link Blog Locked N’ Loaded!

Earlier today I posted an semi-announcement that SplashCast was going to make an announcement. Well they did earlier this afternoon. Good to see our buddy Paul from Denmark with his podcast #4 taking advantage of SplashCast. If some of you recall, he was on our show - Coffee with Rex Dixon #6.

Technically Speaking, I may move some of my podcasts over to SplashCast also. See if they do well over there. My one show (finale show for 7 Minutes with Rex Dixon - 12/7/2006) has phenomenal numbers!

I just finished re-uploading the file again. The show is now online, and the file isn’t a warbling mess of vocals. Once again, you do have to remember the distances we did this Skype podcast over. Scot is down in Addison, TX; Mae lives in St. Peters, MO; Paul is in Naestved, Denmark; and I am here in St. Louis, MO.

The main issue was that we were trying to put out the best possible audio quality. We made the mistake of going with the 48khz setting vs the 44.1khz setting which has been standard forever. Well the 48khz file sounded fine on the desktop; playing it off your hard drive. It does not for some reason translate well over a streaming platform.

With that being said, here are the links so that you can listen to the show that we did on Sunday. We hope you will give it another listen now that our voices don’t sound in slow motion.

Coffee with Rex Dixon #6 on ClickCaster

Coffee with Rex Dixon #6 - on CyberEars

No, I have yet to receive my cut of the $400 million advertising pie. I figured though, it is the middle of February 2007. I figured a little taste of Mae Oakmont, Rex Dixon, Scot Duke, and a great blogger from Naestved, Denmark, Paul O’Flaherty of O’Flaherty Blog (http://blog.oflaherty.dk) - was just the ticket for people to give a listen too. We had a great time doing this show, and we hope you enjoy listening to it.

Technically Speaking, Coffee with Rex Dixon #6!

*** UPDATE *** Now also found on the CyberEars podcast site - Coffee with Rex Dixon

Well, I have been tagged by Paul O’Flaherty…so here it is folks the 5 reasons why Mae Oakmont blogs:

1) I blog because I have strong opinions and I enjoy sharing them.

2) I am currently going to school to be a lawyer, so blogging is teaching me how to be influential.

3) I enjoy getting feedback and constructive criticism from all my readers.

4) I’m a geeky girl!

5) I enjoy meeting people from all over the world, like Paul!

So….Luckysnap,Tisha,Dwacon,Prisca107, and Turoczy TAG YOU’RE IT!

Paul O’Flaherty just released his first podcast. I feel very thankful there are people in the blogosphere like him that tips his hat to his fellow community of bloggers. He did his first podcast (it’s addictive; remember I did like 45 plus shows late last year!), and he gave us another mention. This of course goes along with his first mention back here the other day.

Yup, there are still cool bloggers or rather cool people in this world. Technically Speaking, it’s how the world should be run. Yes, I am directing that comment directly to the governments of the world could learn how things operate in the blogosphere and learn how to be if nothing else - a better person.
