Beautiful Email On Entrepreneurism

My friend, and CEO of SGN (Social Gaming Network) Shervin Pishevar, posted an email that he wrote all his friends on Facebook. Since you have to be a member and a friend of his to see it, someone, with Shervin's permission, posted on it on Techcrunch.

I hope this inspires you...

My Twitter Profile

I signed up for Twitter awhile ago, and would post a tweet once a month, because I could not figure out what to use it for. So between signing up and now, I've had a love hate relation with it.

Recently, Vincent Wright, the head of one of the networking groups I'm associated with, posted a message to all of the members with a great way to use Twitter, and invited us all to post our Twitter profiles to the group.

Since then, I've learned what a valuable tool Twitter is, and since I have a great iPhone App - TwitterFon, I can check and post tweets throughout the day.

I invite you all to join, and follow me.

Paintings by Ron Zampino

My Dad has been an brilliant artist for years, and I finally got him to start putting his paintings online. Not only does he paint, but he makes the frames too.

A while back I set him up and created for him a great site using Tumblr.  I used a neat gallery type theme for him to present all his painting. So far we have a couple of them up, and are slowly adding additional paintings to it weekly.

If you're into art (even if you're are not), please go take a look.

iPhone App of the Week - TwitterFon

After using m.twitter.com, and playing with a bunch of Twitter client Apps on the iPhone, I finally found something usable in TwitterFon.

TwitterFon, is just a simple app that lets you see your friends timelines, post your tweets/replies/DMs, and it even has a built in browser so you can view links in tweets, and add links to your tweets. It also allows you to view your friends mini profile, and their timeline.

If you are looking for a more advanced iPhone Twitter client, check out Twittelator.

iGolf Game App for iPhone - Review

My friends over at Social Gaming Network have created the best game I have played on my iPhone to date called iGolf. The current version is just a driving range simulator that is similar to playing a game on a Nintendo Wii, you swing the iPhone like you were swinging a golf club. Using the iPhone accelerometer it measures your swing and hits the ball for you down range measuring your shot distance at the same time.

Play by yourself, or challenge your friends to a distance contest. Either way it is great fun, and a great game.

Maghound - Time Inc.'s Netflix for Magazines

From working in the publishing business, I hear stories about how print is dead, and publishing on the web is the new in. You can see arguments on this from both Bob Sacks www.bosacks.com, and from Samir Husni aka Mr. Magazine.

Today, to my surprise Time Inc., released their long delayed Maghound site. This is their attempt of bringing print magazines to the 21st century, but still in print form and not in digital form like Zinio. Maghound allows you to order, change, and manage all your magazines by paying a monthly fee on a tiered scale similar to Netflix, minus returning them.
