eBay is making big changes. In my opinion this is good news for everyone that uses the eBay platform. Aside from fee changes here are some of the things you will see changing:
- A better finding experience for buyers
- Better “Multiple Item Listing system”
- Useful tools for sellers to automate their business (Project ECHO)
eBay is making a sincere effort to encourage a fun and profitable platform to do business.
eBay also announced that it is discontinuing the eBay Market Research(EMR) product for eBay users. The customers have various options and eBay has setup an easy upgrade path for user to access terapeak eBay Market Research. terapeak also setup some killer discounts to help the eBay community make a smooth transition from the eBay Market Research (EMR) service to terapeak.
We have always been committed to the eBay community and I appreciate every eBay member. We love to hear from our users and they provide us with great feedback on how to continue to improve our services.

No more Privacy March 19, 2008

Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves and thereby reveal themselves selectively. Privacy – Does not exist!
Too many businesses have a vested multi-billion dollar interest in knowing each and every consumer. What they want, is to know you better than you know yourself, and to sell! sell! sell! to you….
So what I have decided to do is reverse privacy and just let the information go. This means keeping facebook, linkedin, zoominfo, flicker, and many other accounts online up to date and full of juicy info.
I’ll let you know if there are any adverse reactions!

When I read this I thought, does anyone else get the shivers? Is this like the titanic where everyone says… “this ship is unsinkable”, and then… bad thngs happen! As an economist you look at the connections between all the variables. I am curious to know how big this house of cards is…
Hot Yoga February 11, 2008

So in the last month I have been getting to the GYM at least 3 times a week. Today I did hot yoga! It is awesome. I was surprisingly flexible. (Little tip, I did Gymnastics for a few years when I was 8 or 9). In addition I have made a pretty significantly change in my diet. NO MORE refined sugars. No sugar drinks, just water or milk. I also cut my servings in half, and eat a lot more fibre. All together I feel great. And surprisingly enough I have not really had a problem resisting the fun foods in my old diet. I have been sleeping a lot better as well.
The Hot Yoga was pretty intense. The time went by pretty quickly. You move between poses quickly, and it really pushes your physical stamina. I have good things to say about the activity.
Blackberry Video Encoding February 3, 2008

I have been trying to load video onto my Blackberry… with little success. Why would I try to do this…. Um… Because you can and I want to. So I tried using third party encoders making sure it fit the BB list of playable media types. It didn’t work. Well I don’t like failing, so I jumped back on the horse, so to speak, and loaded the BB desktop software. Apparently they have a Media converter in the application developed by Roxio. So I loaded that. And in about 5 minutes I was letting the software re-encode Star Wars III. It took about 30 minutes but it works and looks great. So if you are trying to encode a movie for playback on a Blackberry 8830, use the desktop application because apparently RIM wraps the format for the phone. In any event, I am happy to say I figured it out.

The idea is awesome. I don’t really care if it only works for 1 person. I would be surprised if someone at nintendo doesn’t set an initiative to build a game using this technology ASAP. It should be as simple as Mario. Just Mario 3D.
