In The Sphere: New Economy, Personal Finance, and Porn
Posted on August 15th, 2008
Darren Barefoot has a very interesting discussion on the nature of making money in the new economy. This relates not only to music labels, but also to the growing video game market and other ways to make money as well. It used to be unfathomable to get 100,000 people to watch your indie film. Now, YouTube makes that (relatively) easy.
Carl Nelson finds himself reliving his childhood in Japan. While he hasn’t really gotten into Street Fighter since 1997, he couldn’t help but play Street Fighter IV in a Tokyo arcade. He fares fine against the computer opponents, but let’s just say that’s not so lucky against a human opponent.
InvestorBlogger poses a very interesting question when it comes to finance blogs. Should I blog about my own finances? It’s one thing to give advice and insight into how to handle your money, but how much do you need to reveal of yourself to gain credibility and an audience?
Bob Buskirk grew tired of the aging MistyLook theme, so he went out and got himself a new blog layout courtesy of Nate Whitehill and Unique Blog Designs. The new look certainly is easy on the eyes, but I personally think that he is overdoing the white space. The Bob caricature is pretty cool though.
Derek Semmler found himself in the middle of a very uncomfortable conversation involving his wife, his son, and certain kinds of “adult” websites on his computer. Yup, it’s Kitty Cannon and the great porn fiasco. How do you deal with your kids and pornography?

I like the new layout and caricature that Bob has on his site and while I agree the header is a little big, I think it could stay that size if the space was utilized a little more.
