I am running the World Trade Center Run To Remember with my daughter Caity on September 5, 2010 and we’d appreciate your support in the form of a donation to Families of September 11 (FOS11), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

The 2nd Annual World Trade Center Run to Remember (WTCRTR) will be a celebration of the lives of those lost on September 11, 2001.

This event will offer a great opportunity for all people who were affected by the events of 9-11 to come together to remember each victim, while running, or walking, around beautiful Governors Island, in the heart of New York Harbor.

Families of September 11, Inc. (FOS11) was founded in October 2001 by families of those who died in the September 11 terrorist attacks. Membership is open to anyone affected by the events of September 11, be they family members, survivors, responders, or others as well as those who support our mission. The group has two goals:

• To support families and children by offering updated information on issues of interest, access to resources, relevant articles, and advocacy to raise awareness about the effects of terrorism and public trauma.
• To champion domestic and international policies that respond to the threat of terrorism including support for the 9/11 Commission Recommendations, and to reach out to victims of terror worldwide.

Bryce Case, Jr. (aka YTCracker), who was featured on the cover of issue 11 of FeedFront magazine, has launched a new cpa network called NERD LIFE media.

Usually, the launch of a new network in the already overcrowded landscape would be something of a scourge, but this one has an interesting angle.

YTCracker is not only into affiliate marketing; he’s also a Nerdcore rapper who has put out a lot of entertaining music – check out his latest album, “Space Mission,” on iTunes.

He announced NERD LIFE media on his Digital Gangster forum and how he plans to bring his fans into the network.

i have a unique opportunity to be the first rapper to actually make money *with* my fans rather than off of them. sure, someone rapping about selling coke and busting guns might have a few people that hit their favorite rapper on the low and cross their fingers that they get plugged into the downline, but you can’t exactly be proud and public with something like that (unless you also rap). rmk says that you can never guarantee a stress-free life, but you can guarantee you will *constantly* have stress in your life if you are always riding dirty. we have acquired the resources and dataset required to help our people build sustainable, legal, and stress-light solutions for anyone who wants to join us in our pursuit of the greatest life possible.

My house in northern New Jersey was just put up for sale, and I am testing out some methods of driving geotargeted leads and organic traffic to the listing agent.

I like this house a lot, mostly for my office area (suite with two rooms, kitchen and full bath), but I am planning to relocate the family to Austin, TX.

There have been hundreds of videos and podcasts recorded here, as well as everything I’ve done as an affiliate and for Affiliate Summit over the past five years.

Not to mention the close proximity to New York City and Newark Airport. Great town (Berkeley Heights, NJ) and all, but it’s time to move on.

Anyhow, some of the topics that were just covered at Affiliate Summit East 2010 are coming in really handy right now, as I set up campaigns in Facebook and Google AdWords.

In particular, there were some things Frank Luntz mentioned in his keynote, as well as Jeremy Schoemaker’s session on Facebook.

When I sold houses in the past, it was sort of an unpleasant experience, but this is shaping up to be a fun challenge.

Please spread the word to anybody who may be interested.
