Primary Elections: Why I’m Voting for Jason Chaffetz (or how 545 people are screwing things up)

Published on June 23, 2008

Tomorrow Utah will hold its primary elections to decide who will go on to represent the 3rd district in the U.S. House of Representatives. I’m voting for Jason Chaffetz. I’m voting for him because I agree with him on most issues. He’s off on Iraq but so are almost all Republicans and there is no […]

A strange request: do you know anyone big in MLM?

Published on June 9, 2008

I’m doing a little research for a family member and part of that research involves looking into pay structures of MLM companies. I’m interested in talking to people high up the food chain at any MLM company. By that, I mean I don’t want to talk to your broke neighbor who barely covers his cell phone bill with his […]

Utah is full of smart and talented people

Published on May 15, 2008

Last week I had a couple of guys in town from Phoenix and Denver. Both had previously lived in Utah. Both went to school here and worked in the Utah tech industry. Both left the state about six years ago for other opportunities. At the end of the day - after six important meetings - one […]

Unimpressed with BlueHost

My blog went down…again.
I got the following error when I logged into BlueHost:

“We should buy Wyoming” (notes from the Utah Economic Conference)

Published on March 20, 2008

I just got back from Governor John Huntsman’s Utah Economic Conference. It was an interesting time. I attended several sessions. The first session on successful growth strategies had some very good thoughts from Alan Hall of Grow Utah Ventures and Josh Coats of Mozy (which just sold for $80M to EMC). Alan talked about being on the […]

Utah needs a real tech conference!

Published on March 14, 2008

I was just reading over some of the coverage on SXSW. Man that looked like a cool gig. I was scheduled to go last year and couldn’t make it for some reason. I really wish I would have gone.

Social analytics (or please keep wasting your time on Twitter)

Published on March 13, 2008

I was just looking at some of the cool social analytics that exist in my life.
Diving into Google Analytics for ChrisKnudsen.biz I learned that I have a lot of unique visitors from Midvale, Utah. I have no idea who these people are or why they like my blog. Who are you people? I also learned that […]

Calacanis is right (on the important stuff)

Published on March 12, 2008

Jason Calacanis wrote a blog post that created a firestorm on the Web. On the important stuff he’s right on. Here are my thoughts:

“Buy Macintosh computers, save money on an IT department.” Come on, Jason - Macs break down too. Plus, I’m way more productive on a PC - so are most other people.
“Buy a […]

UEC mentor event

Published on February 27, 2008

I had a great time last night at the UEC mentor event. I was tapped to mentor the Savvy May team, which won the Westminster business plan competition last month.
It was also good to run into a couple of familiar faces. Rand Bateman was at the table next to me. His team has a cool […]
