GOOOD evening everybody! Its been a wonderful day and I’m so glad to be here! Started off the morning with a nice crawl outta bed and got things going with a hot\/cold shower.. boy does that ever wake ya up. Got a bit bummed with my smoothie selection this morning.. ran low on bananas so I substituted with raspberries.. which was.. well.. well ya know what, it was VERY colorful! Juuust like..<\/p>\n

My friend “bright eyes” the turtle!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She sits happily on top of my monitor and keeps the conversation going when things get slow.. she’s QUITE a character ;). Alright, yeah.. I’m having too much fun with my new webcam! Huge thanks again to Adam for that!<\/p>\n

Wow, time’s really winding down here.. just about a week left and then I’m outta here. I’ll be off to the Philippines and won’t be back and running again till the 1st of April! Wow.. that’s a LONG time without a computer.. think I’ll make it? Heck ya ;).<\/p>\n

So I’ve got some rather serious business decisions to make before I go. Right now I am contemplating the future of “The Startup Blog<\/a>“, which has been the chronicle of my very public venture into the web hosting world. Its been a good 6 months into the project and even with the successes I’ve had, its nowhere near where it should be. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and over the next few days, I’ll be deciding its future.<\/p>\n

Youthcove<\/a> has also been very heavy on my mind. My favorite community of young entrepreneurs<\/a> has been growing beyond my wildest expectations and with that growth have risen all sorts of amazing challenges. I’ve been putting a lot of thought into the team.. I’ve realized, the hard way, that there are things I simply cannot do. Being a part of an active and thriving web community takes a lot from you and as a leader, you absolutely must have a team that you support and that backs you up. I tried building that team, and then didn’t follow through. I had great people and I sincerely hope that we’re able to pull together again.. not to simply recreate what once was, ‘cuz that can never be done, but to create a team that’s capable of so much more. That’s the only way this community can truly succeed and TRULY make a difference. We’ve already started and its been amazing watching it.. Youthcove has had such a dramatic and powerful influence on my life and I’ll give my all to share that difference with others.<\/p>\n

And with that, my web design business has been going well! I’m getting better and better at what I do.. learning more CSS, tackling PHP and, slowly but surely, with the ever patient help of my good friends, I’m learning! Today I tackled some mySQL on a forum mod and I came out on top after a LONG struggle.. I was very very happy to see things work :).<\/p>\n

I have an idea about creating a multi-part guide for beginners to affiliate programs… no, it wouldn’t be something I wrote on my own, but rather I’ve been thinking about a collaboration between Youthcove members.. we’ll see how that goes.. I’m going to be focusing a lot on affiliate products during my internship in April.. We’ll see ;).<\/p>\n

I got hit with a 94 dollar phone bill today! YEOUCH! That simply was not cool.. its paid and taken care of.. and in the future I am going to be MUCH more careful with those text messaging charges! I had AOL running on my own, WHILE I was signed into my account through my PC.. good ‘ole tmobile counts each IM as a text message.. yikes.<\/p>\n

And that’s just about that.. I got my new SHOES today! Thanks SOO much Amae, they’re awesome!!<\/p>\n

Alright, off to bed I go.. tomorrow is a big day and I’m gonna be ready for it!<\/p>\n

Goodnight World!<\/p>\n

-Jonathan Wold<\/p>\n

Highlight of my day:<\/p>\n

Ahh.. American Idol ;). Yes.. I’m hooked.. and terribly so.. tonight was a GREAT show! Another great plus was checking out my good buddy Jordan’s new site at http:\/\/www.jordan90.com – He’s got this really interesting thing going on with these “Jumpsoles” of his.. wow.. you’ll just have to check it out :). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
