What's One Thing You've Always Wanted - Technology

Ok, the question for the day is, what is one thing you've always wanted that is concerned with Technology.  How might you go about getting it?

Lately, I've been wanting a Tesla Roadster.  This car is awesome, a true weekend warrior car.  It's a sports car, that is 100% electric.  That's right.  It gets good miles on the charge as well.  Only problem?  It cost about $100k.  So, how am I going to get this beast?

I think the only way I'll be able to get it is to work smarter and not harder.  I'm going to have to formulate a plan to put every dollar I get to work for me.  I'm going to have to work out an investing strategy.  Be it stocks, or turn key investments.  Heck, I might even be able to start my own business.

I'm also going to have to take charge of the way I handle my money.  No more wasteful spending.  I'm going to have to keep a tight fist on that money.  I can't just go out and spend it like I normally do.

Now, that I know what I have to do, it's time to start setting goals.

How To Stay On Top of Tech News

Tech News.  We all seem to have this craving for the next best thing.  What's new and hot.  We all want in on it.  So, how do we keep up with it?  That's easier said than done.  Some people make it a hobby.  Some people make it a career.  Though, it's not as hard as some people make it out to be.

Living life on the edge.  The edge of Tech that is.  Technology is ever expanding and we have to keep up if we want to do anything with our lives.  The reason it's easier than it appears, is that there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of sources.

Bloggers from blogs, such as this one, always seem to be on top of things.  The reason they blog is because of people like you, the readers.  They like to share what they've learned with the rest of the world.

News sources are another place to learn about technology.  Often the press has coveted access to the hot spots and tend to get up close and personal with people their interested in.

Youtube, is a great place to learn about all kinds of tech, from hardware to software.  There are many channels on Youtube, with How To Tips and Giveaways as well.

The world is filled with information.  Facebook alone is sending Billions of post every month.  Youtube has millions of people watching it on a daily basis.  I don't think there is one person who doesn't know about Facebook or Youtube.  Ok, that's metaphorically speaking of course.

Let me ask my readers, what would you like to see on this blog?  Would you like to see more tech stuff?  Maybe turn this into a tech blog?  Or would you like me to share more videos?  Such as recipes and music that I enjoy, etc?  I'll leave that up to you guys.  Personally, I think a tech blog would be fun.

My New Twitter Follow Policy.

I'm changing my twitter follow Policy.  Just because your on twitter, doesn't mean I'm going to follow you back.  Here is my new policy.

- Do you have anything that interest me?  If you are writing about something I'm not interested in, chances are, I'm not going to follow you.

- Do you tweet a lot?  If you are posting 5 -10 post every hour and they are meaningless post and I can see any reason why you have 10k+ followers.  I'm not following you.

- If you tweet about Tech, chances are, I probably will follow you.

- Do you tweet about Fitness?  Chances are, I probably will follow you.

- What about Travel?  I'll probably follow you.

- If you're a chef, or tweet about good food, I'll probably follow you.

- If you are a singer or actor/actress that I like, I'll probably follow you.

Why am I making this policy?  Well, lately I've been adding a bunch of people.  Most of these people don't even tweet anything I"m really that interested in.  So, If you don't tweet about anything I'm interested in.  Chances are, I might not follow you.

I have other things I'm interested in as well.  Culture, Gaming, Photography, Astronomy and Space, etc.
