Well on Friday afternoon I got the call to teach a class at one of the local middle schools. I’ll be teaching 8th grade Math. This is a great opportunity. The students need a quality Math teachers and I can give them that. I have some great ideas planned for my students over the course of the year. This is going to be awesome and best of all, I have the feeling in my heart that this is the best thing possible.

I am going to be having a lot of fun and you’ll read about it for sure. Don’t worry, I will still be posting here about business, technology and opinion.

I’ve mentioned before that I love taking internet with me when I go. I use my Blackberry all the time when I am out and I’ve got a USB modem that I use with my laptop when I am out and there is no hotspot available. I like being able to catch up on Facebook, Twitter and even the real news when I am out.

I just found a cheaper way to keep connected out and about and that is with Boost Mobile. They’ve got great phones to go along with great services to keep you connected to all of your favorite social media when you are out and about, or even on your couch at home.

As I said, they’ve got some great phones available. One is the Motorola i1. If you follow me very much you know that I got a penchant for Motorola phones and the i1 is high on my list. It’s Android, WiFi, all web, and it’s even got the Boost Walkie Talkie feature. With just $50 a month for unlimited web, email, IM, text and even nationwide calling you know it’s a great deal.

They’ve also got a Blackberry 8330 available. I love my Blackberry, it’s easy to keep in contact and the features you get with a Blackberry are worth it. If you go with Boost, that’s $60 a month for their unlimited Blackberry Plan. Just check out their Blackberry to see for yourself. Let me tell you, the $60 they charge is a lot less than what I am paying right now.

How about paying your bill with them? They call their payment info Re-Boost, as in refill. They’ve got several ways to load up your phone with more boost including online, over the phone and even in person. In other words, it’s as easy as can be. I like how you can set it up with your debit card and automatically replenish your account. That’s so simple.

Face it, you need a mobile phone and if you haven’t used the mobile web then you’re really missing out. Whether you get a Blackberry plan or the i1 unlimited plan, it’s less than a couple of bucks a day to have all of your calling, texts and mobile checkins taken care. It’s indispensable.

Reading about the i1 makes me want to get it right now. I just have to convince my wife…that shouldn’t be hard.

If you are like me, you are very busy with your work and family responsibilities. It’s hard to catch your favorite shows when they are on. Of course you can record them, but that requires some forethought and guess what? I sometimes have so many things on my mind that remembering to record something is the farthest thing from my mind.

For example, my favorite show is USA’s Burn Notice. I just love it, but I can’t always watch it on Thursdays at 9pm when it’s on. Things always seem to come up and then I’m scrambling to find a repeat. I found a solution to this one: Charter On Demand. You can check out the On Demand home page and see everything they have available, including Burn Notice.

The On Demand home page is set up to be easy to use to check and see what is available. You do need to enter your zip code for your specific Charter cable system, but then you can find all of the listings. It’s pretty cool actually. They’ve also got a Facebook page to get the latest news and info about On Demand. You will ‘Like’ their Facebook page as well so check it out.

All in all, I’d love to be able to get Charter On Demand to be able to see all the great free and paid videos. It sure would make it easier for me to watch Burn Notice when I want to.

At the end of the video, it says to enjoy the traffic. I really wish heavy traffic was really that much fun.

1) My Motorola L6. It’s a simple phone and it works. It’s durable. I have my GMail on it so I can check and send email no matter where I am. It sure beats lugging around a blackberry. If I pair it with my laptop, I can literally work the net wherever I am/

2) My Creative Zen Mp3 player. It’s small and easily tucks aways so I can listen to music whenever I want, or even the radio.

3) My Casio Wristwatch. How can a watch be a gadget? Well, they were the original gadgets. It’s durable and it’s exactly how I like.

4) My Casio Scientific Calculator. I always need a calculator at work, so I just whip it and it handles everything easily and without a lot of flair.

5) My HP IPaq. It’s only a base IPaq and I mainly use it to read ebooks that I carry when I go out and do any kind of traveling.

It’s a great tutorial on the process involved in silk screening shirts. The tutorial is pretty straightforward, but I do suggest watching it a couple of times to get in all of the information. There is a lot to take in, but once you do, it’s all good. I suggest trying it out on a few shirts before you think about doing it as a full time business.

Anyways, enjoy the tutorial video.

It turns out representatives of the three companies would meet at coffee shops and restaurants where they would exchange the pricing information needed to fix the wholesale prices of chocolate. The idea is to keep the price of chocolate high. I can just see it now…. meeting in the coffee shop:

“Dude have you got the goods?”

“Yes, I got the good stuff right here.”

“Ok dude, but don’t let anyone see you give me the envelope.”

With so many free and anonymous emails, why not just send an email? Why all the cloak and dagger just to fix the prices of chocolate. It sounds chocolate trade is like the drug trade.

It sure ain’t gonna replace NASCAR racing anytime soon, but these drivers sure show a lot of skills and I wonder if the best NASCAR drivers could handle a school bus at high speeds?

What do you think about it?
