Chile peppers

To those that are following my blog here at Paul J Roberts .com, soon there will be more to come.

I’ve had some things come up recently that have stymied my attempts go get things rolling on a somewhat regular basis. The infrastructure is complete, settings perfect, Google crawling and ranking is sweet, and traffic is trickling in regularly.  I even have a dozen or so mostly complete business and tech posts ready. So, with that the blog is mostly ready.

Give it a few more weeks and I should be rolling along with content. Sign up for my email or RSS feed and when the new post start flowing, you’ll be the first to know about it.
If you have any suggestions, don’t hesitate to leave a comment.

Thanks,

Paul J Roberts

Here are several videos presenting Microsoft’s prediction of the future in 2019.  I love to see  “bleeding edge” developments and how they might impact our future way of life.  From reading the paper, shopping, computing, manufacturing, and health care. There is some pretty impressive technology in this video series. Be sure to check them all out!  Way cool.

Nabbed this while cruzing Chris Brogan’s site.

What do you think of all these changes in the next 10 years?

Wind It UpAre you a do-it-all type? You know, the type of person that has his or her hands on all sorts of jobs or projects at home and work. Seemingly specializing in a jack-of-all-trades mentality. If you are one of these types of people, it seems you never have enough time in a day to get things done, right? But it feels so good to say you did this and did that.  Well, you know the saying: the most effective person is not necessarily the one who does the most, but the one who gets the most done.

Boxee Media Center and Internet TV – The Next Generation

Boxee media center and Internet based TV are the next generation of entertainment that will rapidly change the way we watch TV!   So what the heck is Boxee?  First, Boxee is a media center that plays content on your computer or from other devices on your home network. It also allows you to connect to Internet based content such as; TV, music, video, pictures and much more.  On you PC or laptop, think of it as a home page of sorts that brings all of your favorite media in one place. You can even install Boxee on a dedicated PC connected directly to your TV and supplement or replace your current cable TV subscriber! Plus, you can install it on Mac and Linux (Windows is currently in Alpha testing).

Reach

Do you set goals for yourself on an annual basis? If not, you should. Setting goals helps you stay on track so you learn, grow and accomplish. Goals are great for business as well as your personal life.  I know this seems all so cliche, but goals are an important part of life.

My goal setting methods and types are not quite as abstract as Social Media blogger Chris Brogan, but I try to implement a bit of his theory where possible.

Set Your Goals for 2009

Times are tough! Are you looking for a new job or career?  Have you tried a few job search sites?  Are you looking for a new job search tool or add another source? We all have to get a job sooner or later.  So, to help out my readers I decided to review the top online job search sites. Three of them I’m sure your seen or used, but a few like Indeed and LinkedIn may be totally new to many of you.  Lets have a quick review.

Top Online Job Search Sites

Monstermonstercom Top Online Job Search Sites

One of the oldest sites that’s been around since the birth of the Internet, OK around 1994. Monster.com boasts one of the largest databases for just about any job. There are tools to conduct company research, resume building, and career advice.  From what I’ve been told…(wink), members who subscribe to Monster’s optional $9.00 per month membership get higher rankings on the employer job search lists. That means you’ll get more hits on your resume and maybe more calls!  Something to consider if you find your not getting enough monster luv….

writting What will I write about?

As with any writing endeavor, one must determine his/her audience. Hence, “What will I write about?”   Well, I gave it some thought and wrote some things down on paper to narrow it down and get a sense of order.  I’ve come to a few conclusions about what I will focus my attention on here at PaulJRoberts.com.  Now, it’s not a small list, but it’s not overwhelming either. Here is a list of my intended content:

 Why Im blogging?

I thought I’d kick things off by addressing a question that most of my associates are asking me: Why I’m blogging?

Well, the reason(s) are many and somewhat complex. Though my work is mostly fulfilling, there are not a lot of opportunities for meaningful conversation, growth, learning or teaching within that environment. I know that sounds negative, but it’s a dose of reality within my environment and many others in our society.  So, I don’t feel it is negative.  Some of us  have little time to “get out” due to work schedules or family obligations.  Basically,  with all these barriers, we don’t have a large pool of people in our lives to bounce ideas and thoughts off of.  To learn different points of view. To learn new and better ways to do and think about things. To succeed!
