I took last weekend off. It was a mini-vacation with my wife, wherein the objective was to get away from the kids and dogs and “do nothing, in peace and quiet” for a while. Consequently, I discovered that I’ve become damaged goods. Back in the day, I was able to lay around and do nothing for weeks on end. I’ve lost that ability somewhere along the way. I’ve regrettably become a do-er, uneasy unless I can participate in something.

Whether you’re a one-person shop at a kitchen table, or the next Rupert Murdoch (or both), you need to start thinking like a media business. Say you want to run an online magazine. Or maybe you’re a personal publisher executing on myriad ideas that need more options than a simple blog post can provide. You’re covering multiple topics, in multiple formats.

I opened Blog Profit Camp with a $500 bonus review offer. The first 50 students who registered got a free review on this blog. As you can imagine, that came and went in a heartbeat and the offer is no longer available. However, I have a decided to extend the offer for the Ultimate Package.

Widely acknowledged as the best restaurant in Whistler (home of the 2010 Winter Games), Araxi was also the grand prize for season 6 of Hell’s Kitchen.

I’ve just released my newest eBook call Living The Dot Com Lifestyle: How To Have Time, Money and Location Freedom. Living The Dot Com Lifestyle details the rules and methods I use to live anywhere in the world and have money come in even when I am not working.

We had a bigger than full house today at Dot Com Pho. Our normal Saturday reserved table can seat ten people but we had a total of 13 showed up for our Opposite Edition. We all had to squeeze a little tighter to get everyone to sit around the table. We all thought that Ed Lau would be last but he was actually fourth from last. That’s a new first.

This Canada Day (July 1), the 1200 block of Hamilton Street in Yaletown will be closed to traffic for an Olympic-style street party with live music, food and fun competitions to celebrate The Yaletown Grandprix with racing set to start at 1pm.

A full house of 10 people showed up for today’s action packed Dot Com Pho, which started at 12:30 and didn’t end until almost 4:00PM. It’s a good thing that Mr. Happy Pho is a really happy guy and likes us a lot. Otherwise, I doubt he would tolerate us staying at his restaurant for over three hours. Most of the attendees were Pho regulars but we did have one new member.
