Was invited by a Stevens Tech friend to FundingUniverse.com’s CrowdPitch event, the first one its had in the New York City area. It is quite an interesting concept, like the “American idol for Entrepreneurs” they have a panel of judges that moderate and critique the entrepreneurs pitching their business, with an audience voting (with fake money) on which of the …
When Family + Business Collide – A new born baby while running a business
Met my good friend, Mike Andrews today, who went to Stevens Tech with me, at his company Hudson Digital Systems for internet marketing training and SEO consulting for his business. Again, trying to use public transportation has been difficult…looked to take a train to West Paterson, NJ but so many connections for only 16 miles….he ended up picking me up …
People Watch Too Much TV in America!
I guess I never really was a big TV watcher, back when I was younger, maybe in grade school, I remember getting my first computer, a 25 MHZ PC (I am not so techy now, back then it seemed easier) and Brian and William helped me overclock it to 33MHZ and upgrade RAM. Anyway, I would work on my computer, …
Maybe I’ve Been in China Too Long – Readjusting to USA
A few times while I’ve been back in America, my friends have had to slow me down and remind me “dude, you’re not in China anymore”. And not just my friends reminding me, but my finding out myself. Here are some of the bullet points (better then boring paragraphs of text, right) Mistakes are more expensive in America – I …
The Main Thing Holding you back is YOU!
As I run all over the place like crazy, of course I am getting frustrated. And some things don’t go as I planned, and I get angry – but there is a saying “A man can fail, but he isn’t a failure until he blames someone else.” – J. Paul Getty I have tried my best to constantly repeat this …
What a week between Connecticut, New York, New Jersey
Running around like a maniac, seriously. If I didn’t have data on my mobile to chat and check email I would be so screwed, at least my business would be, so I am fortunate to have “bitten the bullet” and gotten an unlimited data plan a couple weeks ago. Being that its Friday, and I’m stuck sitting on a PATH …
Speaking About China Business Experience at Stevens Institute of Technology
Definitely feel I have gone “full circle” in life….I went to engineering school to get to Wall street, to go to China to do manufacturing, to get into internet, to come back to engineering school in NY/NJ, Stevens Institute of Technology where I studied, and speak about business in China. But really, I feel I am fully utilizing my degrees …
Soon Mobile Internet Will Own Our Soul!
Just finished up day 2 of #MXM2010 (Mobile Cross Media 2010) that discussed the convergence of mobile and web internet, and how companies can keep up to the rapidly growing and changing mobile space. I was informed about the event in the first place because I have been keeping in touch with Gillian Museig (aka SEOmom) from SEOmoz.org and she …
Business in USA is Easy Compared to China Business
I’m not gonna talk smack about China, I know how sensitive the government can be. I think a lot of the general public and citizens in China can also agree with me, laws and regulations there make it difficult. And man, did I get what I asked for and more when I moved out to China a few years ago. …
Why Did I Choose to Stay in New York?
Sure, my family has moved / retired down in Florida, it was great to see them, and I have hometown friends in Hartford, Connecticut – but New york is where my heart belongs. As far back as I can remember, growing up in Connecticut, watching the movies, the “rebel” Yankees (yea, everyone in my family and most of my friends …

What is basically developing in is a local media marketing company for the nightlife and entertainment industry. Looking to warehouse locally some products from newyorkbarstore that had been upstate for many many years – also cooperating with a couple advertising agencies …

Being Yourself Online
Reading Chris Brogan’s post and its simple, yet inspiring!! All I know is while I’m down here in florida with my grandma, uncles, parents, cousins TALKING ABOUT facebook and internet and mobile web – I KNOW this is where its at. I’m glad I’ve been studying it for so many years, at least 6 years intensely, but really since early …
Memories – Reading my First Journal from May 1997!
Been digging through my old files and found my 3 journal books and 1 dream journal book – as well as some personality tests, and an old hard drive with my college memories on it! I flipped through the journals, considering having someone type them up for me. I remember the day I bought that blank book, hearing of businessman …
More American Jobs with a Lower USD/RMB?
Even though I’m “kinda on vacation” down in Florida with my family, I’m still keeping up with the daily news. All this news about the Chinese government artificially keeping the US dollar low versus their Chinese yuan (rmb) currency –> USD/RMB – or a higher Chinese Yuan (RMB) to a US dollar (RMB/USD). Today I read on the news: China …
