Back in July I was in Orlando for the Affiliate Summit. I went to one of the presentations given by Dave Taylor and in the Q&A session one of the back and forths ended with a person saying to Dave, ”well I’m not famous on the Web like you are.” Right then and there I opened up […]
I came across these figures today (provided by the US Department of Labor) on the top 10 fastest growing occupations in the United States between 2004 and 2014. They are:

Registered Nurses - 29% increase
Customer Service Reps. - 23% increase
Nursing Aides & Orderlies - 22% increase
Janitors, Maids, & Housekeepers - […]
I just came across this story sent to me by Connect Magazine’s daily email blast. Utah-based film maker, Loki Mulholland has produced a “mockumentary” called “Believe“. The comedy follows a multi-level marketing “representative” in his pursuit to recruit an average joe to sell Believe’s home cleaning products. Hilarity ensues…
The fictional ”Believe” is loosely based on Amway. Mullholland was an Amway […]
I am sure this can only mean one thing: WAR.
Apple is attempting to trademark “podcast”. Read about it here. Podcast Ready appears to be one of Steve Jobs first targets. The only claim they legally have (and rightfully so) is on “iPod”, but it appears that they would like to own all variations on the […]

I received the most intellectually insulting email of my life
I discovered the joys of using Skype
I had an old high school buddy find me through […]
If you don’t read Jason Calacanis, I would recommend getting on it. Jason is the CEO of Weblogs Inc., which was acquired last year by AOL.
I probably don’t agree with Jason politically but he is spot on when it comes to “Web 2.0″. His candor and strait talk is refreshing (reminds me a little of myself […]
I put in the Google search “Chris Knudsen” every so often to see how my natural search ranking is doing. chrisknudsen.biz is number one for the term “Chris Knudsen” I guess that’s not too surprising given that there aren’t that many guys in this world with my name. I know of one other Chris Knudsen in Utah. I run […]
I’ve been using Skype for a couple of weeks and it rocks!
If you aren’t using Skype I highly recommend you download it today and give it a try. I have found that its not only great for making calls but its a better IM application than AIM.
You can reach me on Skype at chris.knudsen. Give me […]
The ALA is celebrating “Banned Books Week” September 23rd through September 30th. Google has joined in the festivities with their own page dedicated to Banned Books Week.
I think someone should put together a “Banned Search Results Week“. :)
I love the way they think at Google…
I usually blog about business stuff so let me apologize in advance for this political post…
I recently started reading Orwell’s seminal work 1984. I am stunned by the parallel nature of that book and the time we now live in. It is truly prophetic.
In reviewing the news online Sunday morning I came across this article titled Big Brother […]
