I am a believer in the idea that “the world is flat” where as the global economy will continue to advance and costs of goods and labor will be the same everywhere……and I have this feeling that it is happen at a much more rapid pace than anyone expected… Maybe its also because I am surrounded and entrenched in the …
Is all this Social Networking Really Worthwhile? Its exhausting
I think my whole life I have been a somewhat natural networker. I think it comes from my dad, I remember going to church with him as a little boy, he knew everyone, and would take the time to say hello to almost each and everyone after mass. I remember getting annoyed, (1) because I didn’t really enjoy going to …
The Hustle Doesn’t Stop – Manila, Cebu, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Dongguan
Currently writing this on a plane from Cebu to Manila, with a crying baby 2 rows ahead of me. I’m proud of how I am able to work with so many distraction around me….as it allows me to travel. What an amazing week this is and will continue to be….had come back to Manila for New Years and some meetings….then …
Back in Cebu for a few days, quick cebu meetup
Been on a roll with these meetups as I’ve been traveling……was using twitter to gather people, but really picking up more of an audience of like minded, open minded people in the couchsurfing community and while I took a quick trip down to Cebu from Manila, I posted an open ended meeting at Ayala Mall, Moon Cafe this past Tuesday …
Addictive Social Hyper Buying / Selling – “I Got The Fiverr”
It must be pronounced FEVER , like “I got the fever“, the site is pretty addictive….I created my fiverr profile (“five dollar” & fever) and quickly linked my paypal account….with their damnquickpay you don’t need to go in and out of paypal each time you make a purchase….. What will people do for 5 bucks? Seems people get creative, here …
Need More Stuff – George Carlin – A Minimalist
Always liked George Carlin stand up…remember listening to it with my hometown friends Andrew Moran and others in grade school (yea, weird a little bit to listen to this stuff at such a young age). Listened a few times to this video “stuff” lately, while in USA (when re-uniting with Andrew, Scott, and others) as well as over here in …
Partaking more in the couchsurfing movement, formally.
It’s strange, to me and to my friends, that I have not earlier been involved in couchsurfing websites, making my couchsurfing.org profile more complete lately. I have been “couchsurfing” for almost as long as I have been traveling, depending on how you define it. And this is why I love twitter and blogging and social media, because you can more …
Converting Philippines Office into Clear Cafe Internet Cyber Cafe!
Tonight had a rather long meeting with my Philippines accountant and Marie about converting the startup office into an internet cyber cafe “CyberCafe.com Inc”. For the most of 2010 I have been “dabbling” with doing business in the Philippines…..having home based workers, leasing a small startup office, training programs, interviews at Philippines government centers, and running a quick twitter social …
Going Crazy, Surrounded by Mandarin, Cantonese, and Tagalog! RMB, HKD Pesos!
Just landed in Manila a few days ago, jeez, my brain is on overload…this hyper travel between Manila, Hong Kong and south china (Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan) has got my head spinning. Really, if this was USA, the geographical distance between these places is similar to going from south florida to Puerto rico…..except there are 3 currencies and 3 languages and …
Happy New Year From Philippines
Been a couple days away from my computer so not accessing blogs and emails much (well mobile, i’m still fairly wired still on twitter….status updating quite frequently), so this will be my first blog of the new year. This was my first time to celebrate New Years in the Philippines, a bit different from USA and in China. Let me …
Are Social Media People Just a Bunch of Nerds?
As I dive deeper and deeper into the developing industry of social media….I can’t help but classify the typical social media poweruser. Sure the majority of the global population now has in some way become involved with social media (mindblowing numbers thrown around on the web in 2010), but when I saw power users, I consider that those addicted to …
Searching For Products to Import & Sell In China
Its always been in the back of my mind since coming to China in the end of 2007…but now more then ever – WHAT PRODUCTS CAN I BRING INTO & SELL IN THE CHINESE MARKET! I have talked about local sales tactics in China and gotten some experience selling Chinese bar products , but had taken a break from it …
First Full Day in Dongguan
Have been spending certain half days from Shenzhen or Hong Kong at the Dongguan “cashncarry.cn” facility, but today marks my first overnight stay there. Again, a few months ago this would have seemed unimaginable, but this is a really exciting project. It’s a factory in Dongguan in the process of converting from a factory into a wholesale store and ecommerce …
USA Immigration, We Can’t Save The World By Importing People
Watched this youtube video Can mass immigration into USA help world poverty? Its really a struggle in my mind…. https://www.youtube.com/v/LPjzfGChGlE?fs=1&hl=en_US Below he outlines the report from the world bank, giving the amount of people who earn less than $2 a day. Africa 650 million ppl India – 890 million China – 480 million Rest of Asia 810 million Latin America …
