Fast forward to the present day and EVERYONE and his gran has a blog. Or every believe topic for example I just found a blog on storage units! Better than that, they are all free and relatively easy to use and you can upload photos and videos at no extra cost. Blogs have indeed come a long way. Nowadays you can’t admit you don’t know what a blog is, because it’ll make you a laughing stock. And the effect of blogs on marketing can not be under-estimated. Blogs have now taken the place of expensive websites and monthly bills to an internet expert who would update it for you.

Now, you have total control, which means that you can start a micro business for very little money and maintain ALL the marketing on your own with just the click of a few buttons. Read more about the future of blogs (and how we are living in what once was the future) over at the following link:

Love The World Cup? I bet that at least a few of you (yes I am being optimistic about the number of people reading this here post…) do. This post is all about just that, so take a look – if you’re interested in football or not it’s a good read.

As is pointed out, regardless of how great The World Cup is, it’s one hell of an evil energy waste, isn’t it? Firstly you have the many thousands of people flying around for what some would say is not an essential reason, and then you have all the electricity wasted on broadcasting (just look at the number of channels showing similar footage!). Whatever way you look at it, can it really be justified?

Of course, there are a few ways that the next World Cup might be able to redeem itself. For example, what if the companies who specialize in energy saving were able to get their advertisements on to the signs around the pitch? Surely that would have a substantial impact, and through that impact more people would become aware of the difficulties we are facing that aren’t always so obvious.

Another good way the signs could be utilized would be by displaying facts about energy wastage and global warming, maybe even helpful tips about how to save money in the home? It may be some way off, but as we slide ever deeper in to eco-debt, it’s a matter of time until it happens, if you ask me.

Well I took the remainder of my student loan, and yes I was quite shocked that there was some left over, and bought me a second hand FZX motorbike. Now I know what you are all saying, “But Zack, you’ve never ridden a bike before!”

True.

Regardless the plan is to take this little lady throughout Europe and see what adventures I can pick up along the way while still using the remainder of my overdraft as a bit of an advantage. Wish me luck everybody, because in a mad world the only logical conclusion is to do something a little bit crazy, and it would seem that this motorbike is my tribute to that!
