I’ll have to agree with Drew on this -

Because I wanted to :)

a) Much love to Get Satisfaction.  Use them, love them, hug them, kiss them

b) I love tech. Period. So I’m now a West Coast Editor at The Next Web

c) I dono, there has to be a c

Why? Because I wanted to.  Great team, I’m getting my writing legs back after tweeting for 6 years is it? I’ve almost lost the ability to form a complete sentence, but I’m trying hard.

Got news, a rad app to check out? Fire away to drew at thenextweb.com

Kind of why I started to blog again, more like ramble on if you will. It helps to get some thoughts out, as well as occasionally tip the hat to people such as Drew.

Interesting title, but thought I’d check out another one of the blogs from this list – and yes, I did soften the title from all caps:

If you are looking for some free work from home jobs or the best ways to make money 2010, listed below are my top ways to earn money on the Internet. Most of them are FREE and require no fees at all. Others might require you to make a purchase.

1) Send Earnings (100% free method) This is a great way to make money if you don’t want to invest anything. (Please see the copy of the check I just got which proves they do pay – Send Earnings Check) As seen on the Good Morning America TV show,  members get paid to do things like take surveys, play games online, read emails, and other things. You get a $5.00 bonus for signing up and it is always free. They pay by check and will never ask you for money.

2) CashCrate (100% free method) – I made $908.69 dollars in April 2010 and I have posted a short video of that check at my CashCrate Review. I am now making checks like that at CashCrate every month. This is absolutely one of the best ways to get started making money if you have nothing or don’t want to invest any money right away. (13 years and older for this so it is a great part time jobs for teens and ways for teens to make money!)

A good post to read if you have blogging burnout:

So there you are spending every waking moment on your blog, searching through the mass of information sites trying to find something interesting to blog about, even setting up search terms via TweetDeck for your twitter to see what’s going on.

But you ever take the time out and think to yourself that you could seriously get “blogger burnout” a point where you can sit in front of your computer and your blog posts are just erratic post or your blogging skills just start to go that lackluster that you stop posting for weeks at a time.

This has probably happened to a lot of bloggers, specially those that have been blogging for a short time and just do nothing but blog!

If you do get to the point of you are sitting in front of your computer and you have nothing, not even the title of a blog post, then what should you do, well the first thing you should do is turn your computer off and go and do something else.

Find some Blogging Inspiration

Go out for a walk, call a friend or family member, read a book, watch a bit of TV, it’s all up to you what you do, but staying away from the computer will really help, not only will it relax you and let your mind roam for a while, but you may even find some blogging inspiration from what you are doing, but, and this is a big but, as soon as you get that inspiration back, DO NOT sit in front of your computer straight a way, this is a major no, no.

Instead always have a small notepad and pencil with you and jot down your ideas and work from them, this way you may see something else even more inspiring for you to blog about and even something that will turn into that elusive blogging materpiece

Technically Speaking, always read more …

Probably because they didn’t put the two commercial actors in a Colts and Saints jersey! Right? Right??? Please tell me this is 2010 and not 1910.

Originally seen here and on this very cool new user submits the story site called iSpotAStory out of NYC (met the brains behind this site when I lived there, glad to see she is really pushing it hard these days!).

CBS rejects ManCrunch.com Superbowl ad.

Technically Speaking, I thought this was America 2010, apparently hate, discrimination, and homophobia all run wild no matter what the news media tells you, even $2.6 million isn’t going to make this commercial air on Super Bowl Sunday!

Because Jones’ Big ASS Truck Rental and Storage is funny:

And if that’s not good enough, here is commercial # 2:

Technically Speaking, because it’s funny! btw, he is from Chicago and not the #STL as I was just told via AIM!

Another great find on the blog that never sleeps.

Technically Speaking, if you remember watching the Monkees in first run on television – you’re old! Even if you watched them in first or second re-run, you might be a bit up there!

First off I want to push my new page – @RexDixon Twitter Stream page. It’s one of the better plugins for twitter streams I have seen. Thank you goes to @threefourteen who did the original one the other day that prompted me to give it a go.

Hey – everyone is getting ready for the onslaught known as SXSW, so it’s time for some humor. Watch this video, and head over to the blog that never sleeps and watch it again!

Rock Soap Opera – Knowing Allen, I thought he was talking about THE ROCK going into the world of soap opera acting – and – was I ever surprised. A start up that is serious about talking about two, uhm, rocks!

Tonight I’ve got a UK-based startup that frankly I don’t know how to categorize. It’s called Rock Soap Opera and is a soap opera like All My Children and Young and the Restless. The only difference is that this soap opera is about two rocks. Yes, two rocks.

Technically Speaking, it’s SXSW starting tomorrow – keep your eye on the angle – siliconANGLE for the coverage that Rizzn is about to lay on you coming live from SXSW for the next few days!
