2. Consumer confidence is coming back
While Steve Strauss is not predicting an economic boom, he does think there are signs that the economy is slowly coming back.  He notes unemployment claims continue to fall; the fourth-quarter GDP growth is looking to be in the 3% to 4% range; consumer   confidence continues to rise.

3.  Working 9-5 is dying
With the advent of the internet, laptops, tablets, and smartphones, does anyone with a desk job work 9-5 anymore?"

Google Voice-Fail

Google Voice-Fail: "News: New Direction
So now that Google Voice is no longer invitation-only, I went ahead and created a new account just for this blog. Consider it a social experiment, I guess. So now I have a Google Voice number that exists solely for the purpose of people leaving messages to be posted here. That number is 803-386-9184. (Yes, that's a South Carolina number. That is, after all, where I live and where this started.) So feel free to call, drunk dial, distribute, etc. The more voice mails, the better!"

Enterprise Cloud Spending Set to Double by 2016: Gartner

Enterprise Cloud Spending Set to Double by 2016: Gartner: "ypical enterprise also faces far more challenges, when it comes to adopting the cloud, than your typical consumer. For starters, the cloud raises a host of issues related to everything from regulatory requirements to encryption and tokenization. Workers used to on-premises applications need to be instructed in the ways of the cloud, while IT administrators and other company pros often need to learn wholly new dashboards and processes in order to effectively handle online services."

Nonprofit organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nonprofit organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "While not-for-profit organizations are permitted to generate surplus revenues, they must be retained by the organization for its self-preservation, expansion, or plans.[2] NPOs have controlling members or boards. Many have paid staff including management, while others employ unpaid volunteers and even executives who work with or without compensation (occasionally nominal).[3] Where there is a token fee, in general, it is used to meet legal requirements for establishing a contract between the executive and the organization."

Amanda Palmer: Kickstarter Millionaire And Crowdfunding Success Story

Amanda Palmer: Kickstarter Millionaire And Crowdfunding Success Story: "
For those unfamiliar with Kickstarter, it’s an online platform for musicians, artists, gadget inventors of all variety to raise money to fund projects. Check out a project, pledge to support what you’d like to see created, and if a project meets or exceeds the proposed budget, the artist receives funding.

Palmer saw her funding surge past her goal of $100,000 in a single day. The final sum pledged was $1,192,793. Pledges started at $1 and went as high as $10,000. A total of 24,883 people backed the project. The two people who signed up for a $10,000 pledge can look forward to Palmer flying to their homes for dinner and a portrait by the artist."

Should We Use OpenCart? | Made of Everything You're Not | Eric Lamb

Should We Use OpenCart? | Made of Everything You're Not | Eric Lamb: "Then, not a week later, I see on that there’s another war going on between Daniel and a developer who found some pretty nasty CSRF issues. Again, Daniel showed his ass (along with a good helping of ignorance mixed with arrogance this time) with nothing being resolved.

This was truly the breaking point for me. Why in the world would I ever use software written by someone who, when confronted with the issues, acts like nothing’s wrong? Nope. I have people relying on me to make choices that won’t, you know, ruin their business and OpenCart, for all it’s bells and whistles and nice code and pretty administration panel, is a horrible platform because the developer refuses to do anything about issues when presented with them."

Should We Use OpenCart? | Made of Everything You're Not | Eric Lamb

Should We Use OpenCart? | Made of Everything You're Not | Eric Lamb: "Anywho, OpenCart has lot of good features available out of the box with my favorites being the Backup Manager, User Groups, really nice localization (l18n) and internationalization (i18n) options, support for multiple stores and a slick reporting overview. OpenCart also has the one feature I personally love from any and all e-commerce packages; Guest Checkouts. Personally, when I’m buying something from an online store that’s not a 500 pound gorilla like Amazon or Best Buy I hate signing up for an account. Guest checkout is the shit.

The code is really well structured and thought out; it uses a nice implementation of the MVC pattern which made things ridiculously easy to walk through and find out what was going on under the hood. OpenCart appears to be using a home grown MVC framework, which, while, in my opinion a little unnecessary,  isn’t at all a big deal. "
