Welcome To 2008
All around the net I’ve seen my favorite bloggers post their happy new years posts, and I thought I’d do the same.
Let The Festivities Begin
For New Years Eve, we headed over to Glen Burnie, MD for a party that our friend Butch was having. When I was back in college in Baltimore I used to live in a duplex type townhome with two best friends. The house attached to ours was what became 3 good friends of ours (One of them, Eric, is now my business partner for Tri Megatech). Almost every Saturday we used to throw dual house keg parties. Butch’s party had a lot of those people that we hadn’t seen in a long time, so it was like a big reunion. The party had about 40-50 people, 3 kegs, food, and a midnight champagne toast.
Here’s a few of the girls from the party:

Here’s me with a few of the girls:

Here’s the host of the party, Butch:

My buddy Mike and I ran the beer pong table towards the end of the night, never losing a game. Check out the below video, and you’ll see my excitement about that at the end:
What I Want To Change In 2008
There are quite a few things I want to do in 2008:
- I will eat much better and cook for myself more.
- I will workout more and get in better shape, especially by this Summer
- I will clean up my current businesses. By this I mean I will sell/get rid of what I feel I don’t want to continue or spend more time on so I can put more concentration on what I want to grow.
- I will launch a new site that I’ve been thinking about for about 6 months now
- I will help grow Tri Megatech by at least 200% of gross revenue from 2007
- I will generate at least $5,000 in revenue from Carbon Fiber Gear
- I will launch the new design for this blog
What are your goals, and what will you be doing to accomplish them?

01/02/2008 11:33 amI’ve had about $50 in commissions so far, but I can’t realistically say how much of it is coming from the site or from my forum posts that I talked about. It’s actually pretty sad how the reporting doesn’t let me see which ads are performing better, or what a person bought on eBay for example. It doesn’t really help if I want to try and optimize the pages.
I think more than anything now I want to build the content for that site and let it start generating some good SE traffic. Last month I got about 100+ uniques from search engines…not bad for only being up for a few weeks. I’m hoping by June I’m pulling in some pretty decent numbers (traffic and money-wise).
