I Am A Gringo This might surprise you, but building Swollen Thumb Entertainment doesn’t bring in a lot of money for me.  It certainly doesn’t pay the bills.  Suffice to say, I am forced to work at a “regular” job until I can get my business on its feet.  However, I am not a big believer in having a “regular” [...]

Where To Take Things This Year?

Strategy For 2010 I’ve been doing a lot of thinking for the direction that I’m going to take the blog in 2010 and I would like to get some feedback from my readers.  Obviously, the “strategy” that I had for 2009 was less than stellar, because I didn’t even come close to breaking even, so business needs to be tweaked [...]
