A Note to Google Users on Net Neutrality:

The Internet as we know it is facing a serious threat. There’s a debate heating up in Washington, DC on something called “net neutrality” – and it’s a debate that’s so important Google is asking you to get involved. We’re asking you to take action to protect Internet freedom.

In the next few days, the House of Representatives is going to vote on a bill that would fundamentally alter the Internet. That bill, and one that may come up for a key vote in the Senate in the next few weeks, would give the big phone and cable companies the power to pick and choose what you will be able to see and do on the Internet.

Today the Internet is an information highway where anybody – no matter how large or small, how traditional or unconventional – has equal access. But the phone and cable monopolies, who control almost all Internet access, want the power to choose who gets access to high-speed lanes and whose content gets seen first and fastest. They want to build a two-tiered system and block the on-ramps for those who can’t pay.

Creativity, innovation and a free and open marketplace are all at stake in this fight. Please call your representative (202-224-3121) and let your voice be heard.

Thanks for your time, your concern and your support.

Got $5-$10 to spare? Care to donate to the American Cancer Society?

Whether it’s a friend, family member, or neighbor down the street, we all know someone who has been touched by cancer. Many of us are concerned about this disease and want to do something to make a difference. That’s why I’ve decided to take part in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life® . It’s an event that brings together the whole community and helps raise funds for the fight against this disease. I know you care about cancer, too, and I’d love for you to join me as part of my Relay team.



At the event, we’ll camp out overnight, walk around the track, and meet lots of new people. There is an incredible tribute to cancer survivors and caregivers that starts off the night and a moving ceremony honoring those who have fought the disease. I can truly say Relay is unlike anything else you’ll ever do. It’s a night full of fun, hope, and remembrance.



You can get more information about Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society by clicking the link below.

Won’t you join me in this fight?

Alright, is there anyone out there that’s a Windows user from back in the day? I’m talking Windows 3.1 (or longer), to Vista (including Server, ISA, Exchange, etc).

I am. I loved PC’s because of MS at one point in time. As a kid born in 1980, Apples were cool, but, MS was my first true experience with the GUI.

Are you as sick and tired of Microsoft as I am? Well, Microsoft is at it again with Windows 7.

Now, I don’t have any reviews nor do I have anything really to report on the new Operating System. Why? Well, frankly because I really just don’t care to know.

I used to LOVE Microsoft! Now, I can barely stand them.

See, I bought a new Dell Desktop Dimension with Vista Home running last summer. My desktop and laptop are VITAL tools I use everyday to run my business. I knew all about the mixed reviews of how much Microsoft dropped the ball with Vista, but, I still believed in Windows.

Well, Vista turned out to be as horrible as Millennium Edition (Windows ME)! I barely use my desktop BECAUSE OF VISTA!

I just used my Thinkpad running Win XP Pro.

I RAN this laptop INTO THE GROUND!

Keys are missing, it won’t hold a charge, hard drive is failing…

..I just kept on using it. As long as it wasn’t Vista, it was good.

………………………….until it died two weeks ago.
And I had to buy another latop.
I started checking out Apple. (Thanks to Dan and the people at the apple store in Christiana Mall!)

Started to love MORE about the Macbook Pro, Time Capsule, IPhone and IMac.

Looked at the prices……(DAMN!)

and had to settle for a Dell Vostro 1000 running Windows XP HOME!!!

It was $350, so, yeah, nice price for a small business owner.

BUT! I am SAVING up for ALL THOSE ITEMS!

Meanwhile, I will do those 1-hour-1-day-a-week-for-$100-per-yer training programs at the Apple Store to learn different about Apple products.

I’ve really had enough of Microsoft. Apple products are superior in terms of usability, stability, architecture & design.

So, yeah, unless Microsoft works some type of magic, I am done with Windows.

Enough bitching, time to go back to work.

Not going to go into the details, but, next year, clear out your calendar and head to Scranton, PA for the St. Patty’s Day weekend parade!

I’m talking Mardi Gras type of event!

Who knew?

Seriously, look it up: St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Scranton PA 

For Undergraduate Representative for the School of Technology.

Hello All:

Demetrius Pinder here (SoFT, C/O 2004). How are you! I have a lot of great things going on, mainly, my education (three classes away from my M.B.A.) and my business (www.RiDEGroupLLC.com check it in two weeks to see the new direction).

With that being said, I have decided to run for Undergraduate Rep for the School of Technology. I have been honored to be called back as an Alumni Emerging Leader and will be featured in JWU Magazine. How am I doing this stuff? By doing the same stuff you are!

So, I vow this to you, my success if your success. I will never forget ANY of you. Some of us never talk and that’s fine; we share a common bond and I hold it in high regard.

So, what do you say, can I have your vote? I’m the only one running (HAHAHAHA!) but, there is strength in numbers.

If not, no hard feelings. I still have a lot of opportunities for those interested (if you’re interested).

Go here to vote, you must sign up for access to the alumni site (Alumni.Jwu.Edu):

If you feel like, please pass this along.

Thanks,
Demetrius Pinder

Allow me to reintroduce myself. I’m a young black man, trying to make my path in this world. I’ve been there, done that, got the t-shirt, tattoo, 8 years of Army Reserve Training, 4 year degree (Johnson & Wales University School of Technology), 3 classes away from my M.B.A, know all about poverty, drugs, sex and alcohol, own a home, a full-time self employed business, seen many ups and downs in my life that as my close friend and business partner Quincey says: “I quit recess because of games”.

But he really didn’t quit recess, he just played the games differently. Hi, my name is Demetrius Pinder and I’m 27 and addicted to life. Hey, it’s free!

I read this great blog called www.Trizle.com almost daily. They have some of the most awesome blog postings on Web 2.0, productivity, etc. in which the comments are some of the most real comments I have ever read. So, I took it upon myself to copy and paste my verbose, yet real second comment and put it on my blog. Hey, I have that right!

So, read my comment below if you like. I’m taking my ass back to bed.

Thanks!

——————-

(please note that yes, there are typos in the original comment. I went to bed at 2am, working my ass off only to wake up and see my girlfriend leave for work. You do what you gotta do in order to be happy. If you’re here to nit pick, trust me, your comment won’t be approved.)

I love how easy the Launch Soon script is; I will be using that service in the future. I also noticed the check out process involves Paypal!

I’m going to follow this method. Deploy efficiently, quickly and as cheaply as possible. Luckily for us, we are web/graphic/print designers with PC/Mac/Server/Mobile skills.

I’m telling you! We’re the new work force. We understand IT/Marketing/HR/MGMT and Sociology. If we don’t know, the guy next door does. It just so happens that the guy next door happens to be a guy/girl named http://www.scorpiono.com/ (or www.mylol.net) who I met on a blog named www.Trizle.com and he/she has mad crazy design skills.

A little knowledge goes a long way. Things like the Patent system or rules of Traditional commerce are being questioned everyday! Look at the controversy of www.juicycampus.com! How can you NOT visit that site after all the press?

Please everyone, get me off this damn soap box so I get back to work! PLEASE!!! I am DEAD honest and REAL, watch this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr3qPRAAnOg), ok? Watch this video and then go rent a good video on the American Revolution. The special on the Military Channel is a good one to watch.

Sit back with your beau, watch these items, Read this blog, Read www.returncustomer.com and www.wakeuplater.com and whatever else you love and CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Ok, I’m off. But, this isn’t an attempt to sale myself (I’m not a whore…my girl would say otherwise…but, I’m trying to SHOW her otherwise), rather, I will take ANY opportunity to market myself. Check out www.Pathwaytomysoul.com. Read my story, get inspired and let me know about it! Because damn it, I can’t and WON’T do it all alone!
