Tech World News Never Slows Down

You would thinking that for one day during one week of one month during one year there would not be any news on something concerning the Internet, Internet Marketing, Blogging, Technology, Tech News, Gadgets, Software, Widgets, Wiki, Web 2.0 and the list goes on.

But I have not seen a day that someone is not making news in this huge market.

There is always something someone is reporting on.

And it is no different over at Technically Speaking. There is a lot of Tech stuff reported there. OH, don’t get me wrong, there is much more reported by others and maybe reported a different way, but as far as providing you another point of view there is probably not another one that shots much straighter than Technically Speaking....

Yes, I write for TS and I write for this site and I write for five other sites, but like all of the sites I write for, I do so because I like to and I like to because I want to write for the sites that are run by people who are professional and have a clean vision of what it is their site is all about.

Technically Speaking is all about reporting what is going on around the world as a whole, not just Tech or just the who’s who kinda reporting you see everywhere else. TS cover more and since I am now on the volunteer staff I know what is coming up to keep the site heading for the top of the Tech News World Report.

If you have not seen Technically Speaking then you need to check it out...a great site for information on that is going on around the world of everything.

WGC-Match Play

I am really getting razed by my fans about my perditions on the WGC Match Play. It is fun and you need to check it out.

WGC-Accenture Match Play

The WGC Accenture Match Play tournament is one of the best showcases for REAL golf.

Why doesn’t TV like it?

Well, only knowledgeable businesses that understand golf will sponsor this event. All of the sponsors who are looking only for a number hate the format because, like what took place today, the marquee players are at risk of not making it to Sunday when the golfing viewer ship is at its highest...and even higher if Tiger is playing. So, what will take place now that Tiger is not playing, less sports coverage will be provided of the event from the network feeds primarily due to the TV sponsors pulling out so the network is not getting the revenue to support the people they have in the field covering the matches.

Again, Tiger brings in sponsors to the golf events, but if he falls short and losses in the match play event like anyone cane, the sponsors feel they are getting shorted and will not sponsor anymore Match Play events. They are only interested in the event because the main draw to their product is playing, Tiger.

It still is a great showcase of how Real Golf is to be played...sponsors or not sponsors, it is worth watching.

Apple Vs Cisco: The Deal from Hell

Yep, my ol buddy Rex Dixon of Technically Speaking has scooped this story for ya, but you know, “it ain’t over till it is over’...no I am not quoting Yogi Berra, but even Yogi the Bear could see what is truly going on as well as I can.

I don’t believe the Apple and Cisco deal is fully settled...some of these wounds are pretty deep. This latest announcement Apple and Cisco have made was to get the media attention off this show so more maneuvering can be done on how the deal will really go down.

Plus, the big dog, AT&T, who is watching this one real close since they will be distributing this phone, is probably wanting for the smoke to clear before they step in to put their two cents in, or several trillion cents in is more exact.

I’ll get you in the loop if Yogi has anything else to say... Check out to see what RD has to say

T-Shirt Video Contest

Through out history there have been some great events held that everyone wants to be included.

One that people tend to over look is the simple contest. What do I mean by “simple contest”?

Well my good friend, ‘The Grill Master’ of Give Me A Friggin’ Break dot com and who is also the ‘Head Dude’ over on Technically Speaking is holding a contest that is fun for anyone with a video camera.

Too bad I am the ‘Second Mule’ of GMAFB.com or I would enter this, but since I am part of the TS team, I am not eligible.

You however are eligible to enter. If you have a video camera, and like to have fun with it, as well as potentially earn some prize money – then definitely head over to Rex Dixon’s Technically Speaking blog now to read about this great new contest he has set up for FUN as well as prize money.

The word NO: Nobody Likes to Use It

My previous article, No: It Is A Good Word, came up this week in a conversation I was having with some of the non-profits I am working with.

Seems what I mentioned on how many people do not want to appear negative by not saying the word NO was being discussed during the group’s meeting. After a year, my statements have been confirmed many times over.

Studio 60: A Good Show Going Down

Yes, I am a big fan of the show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. The name of the show was longer than its season. Struggling to make it through its first season it seems it is not going to make it through its second season.

Too bad, it is the best written show on TV. Lets hope that the Black Donnelly's show that is taking Studio 60's place next week takes a dive as it is expected to do and we get back to regular programing.

Stay tuned, we can only wait and see.

Winter Golf: The Best Place to Go

I have said it more than once and I will say it again, if you are going to play Winter Golf, then pack your bags and get to Southern California...play Desert Winter Golf.

If you have not been to Palm Springs, CA, you Gotta go. If you have been there then you know that there are more golf courses than it is humanly possible to play during the winter...I am sure there have been many try...and can venture a guest that there enough golf courses in the area of size of the city of Dallas, TX, where you could play a different course then entire winter and never play the same course twice, unless you wanted to.

I am heading out to Southern California in a few weeks and I have two days to get my fill...but I am heading up to Las Vegas for three days to play golf...so hey, give me a friggin break for playing winter golf where it is warm...what is holding you back?

If you need a business reason to get out there so you can write it off as an business expense...get in touch with me and I will not only tell ya how, I will show you how to make playing business golf work for your business.

You know how to get in touch with me.

Let me know how I can help.

Fred Couples Pulls out of Nissan Open

I hope Fred Couples is not out for the year. Usually his back flares up when the temperature is cool and damp. Maybe when the tour hits warmer weather he will be in the mix. I really hate to hear when one of the greats of golf cannot show the fans how well they can play.
