The Force: Volkswagen Commercial By the way advertisers, not all commercials have to be terrible, take a hit, the above VW "The force" commercial is funny to watch and might sell cars.

If you are like me, then you are back to work today, and for some of you you also have some New Years resolutions. I am no different, I thought about it over the break and came up with some things I wanted to do this year.I decided to do the first Tech Chop of the year from my car since my parents and my brother were in town from Colorado, and I couldn't set up my green screen and lighting like I normally do. The audio kind of sucks also because I used my cheap Aiptek camera that has a sub-par mic jack. It was the best one to use in my car though because it was easy to mount. I also bought a new lavalier micophone, so I'm hoping future episodes have better audio quality.Anyway, in this episode, I give you my 10 resolutions for 2012:Do you have any New Years resolutions? Are they IT related? Are they standard ones? What do you want to change in the new year? Let me k...

Happy New Year 2012 everyone - My New Years Resolutions.
2012-01-01 06:01:00 (Photo Credit: Dreamstime.com) Happy New Year 2012 Ladies and Gentlemen and to kick off 2012, I want to share my new year resolutions with you. 1. Land a new job. Its a new year and finding a job is step one to happiness. 2. Learn to let most things go, except the ones that need a voice. 3. Watch less of NASCAR's talking heads and instead enjoy more racing. During both the 2010 and 2011 NASCAR seasons, I have been growing more and more frustrating with the sanction-body especially with "Boy's Have at it" and the lack of responsibly and no real rules that NASCAR has, the negative words of the NASCAR media and listening to all of pointless hype before a race. And in doing this, it has taken a lot of my passion away from actually watching the racing either in-pers-on at the racetrack or more so live on television and enjoying it. Key here, find my passion for NASCAR again. 4. Exercise and lose this weight. 5. Find tru...

What Are You Doing New Years Eve? by Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levi
2011-12-30 17:39:00 "She & Him" with M. Ward & Zooey DeschanelStill of Joseph Gordon-Levitt in "50/50" directed by Jonathan LevineI have known Joe Gordon-Levitt for going on 12 years. We first met in the summer of 2000 while doing a tiny movie called Manic, where we bonded over a mutual appreciation for Harry Nilsson and Nina Simone and I have been lucky enough to call him one of my dearest friends ever since. When we did 500 Days of Summer 8 years later, we spent every lunch hour dancing to Marvin Gaye in the hair and make up trailer; we had loads of fun. I hope to do a thousand more movies with him because he's simply the best. But in the meantime, we made a little New Year's duet for all of you! The original by Nancy Wilson. ENJOY!

4 Reasons to be Optimistic about the Stock Market in the Years Ahead
2011-12-22 02:00:00 We've reached the time of year when investors flip the calendar and try to anticipate the events to come for 2012. I've weighed in with my own near-term strategies and provided a glimpse of my three favorite sectors for the coming year. Right now, bearish factors such the European crisis, still-high unemployment rates and a pervading sense that Washington can do no right are the key factors behind the market. Indeed, the S&P 500 is down roughly 10% since late July, and it feels even worse than that. Stocks could slump even more — recall that they were quite cheap at the start of 2009 and fell even further for the next two months before posting a stunning . . . → Read More: 4 Reasons to be Optimistic about the Stock Market in the Years Ahead

Truth About Election Years And The Stock Market
2011-12-20 20:12:00 Makes no difference which party is in the White House at election time Next year is a Presidential election year, and the stock market is almost always positive in election years. Right? At least that assurance has been a supposed truism for many decades, and repeated as fact each year in numerous interviews and financial columns. And it makes sense. After all, the Four-Year Presidential Cycle has an unusually consistent pattern of the market experiencing most of its serious corrections in the first two years of a Presidential term and most often making a substantial recovery in the last two years. The pattern was interrupted when the financial crisis hit and 2007 and 2008, the last . . . → Read More: Truth About Election Years And The Stock Market
