Why You Should Start Your Own Internet Home Business By Ben Tiew There are millions of people making a full time income on the internet, working part time hours from the comfort of their own home. These people set their own working hours, live where ever they choose and have a ton of spare time to spend with their family, friends and simply do things they love to do. Does this sound like something you would like to be doing? Here are some of the main reasons most people decide to start an online business: •It takes very little money to start Unlike a business in the “real world”, an online business does not need a lot of start up money. All you need as an idea, a domain name, internet access and hosting…all of which can be had for under $100! •You choose when you work Who says you must work from 9 to 5 everyday? People who are NOT Internet Business owners! The Internet Business is the biggest proof why the statement “working from 9 to 5” is no longer true. With an Internet Business, you don’t have to wake up in the wee hours of the morning so that you can get to work by 9am, anymore. You can start work at anytime since you are your own boss! •Work from the comfort of your own home Where you put your computer is where you will be working! And since you’re going to be working from home, you’ll be saving at least two hours of your time each day by not having to travel to and from your work place during rush hours when everybody else is

going to work or heading for home. That means you’ll be saving at least 730 hours a year! Wouldn’t you shudder at the thought of wasting 730 hours a year doing nothing productive? •With the internet, the whole world is your market! By sitting in front of the computer, everyone in the world is now within your three feet. You leverage on free or low-cost software and hardware and the Internet Infrastructure, all of which when combined will give you leveraging power that far exceeds any conventional business, allowing you to achieve more and more with less and less work! •You can fully automate your online business If properly set up, some Internet Business models can be fully automated •No need to work 8 hours a days every single day Once you can automate your Internet Business in some way, you can use the time you saved to start another Internet Business, improve your existing business, or spend anyhow you like. You just spend the time online checking your mail religiously, promoting and expanding your business – all in front of your computer. And there is absolutely no need to spend even more than four hours online. •Spend more time with family and friends Owning an Internet Business gives you the privilege to have more time to spend with your family, or watch your children grow up. This is what most busy parents crave for. If you are one of them, then you will do well to seriously consider starting an Internet Business. •Your online business can be all about your hobbies and passions Now, this is my favorite reason for anybody wanting to start an Internet Business! The Internet Business allows your passion and dream to come to life, which is also the most important component of businesses of any kind. •Online businesses have very little expenses Believe it or not, some Internet Businesses can be set up and running at zero cost, if not very low. Other Internet Businesses can run with monthly operational expenses so low that they are negligible! So, you can rest assured you won’t find me recommending products or services that cost thousands of dollars, the amount of money which you may as well throw into the stock market if you’ve got such a huge appetite for risk! •You can have more that one! Since the cost of setting up and running an Internet Business is so low, and you can automate their operations, you can operate multiple Internet Businesses as a one-person Internet Business owner. You don’t need to hire employees since your Internet Business system is doing most of the job, if not all. It works 24/7 for you. It won’t call in sick. It won’t give any excuses. And it definitely won’t blame you if it ever had worldly problems! •The internet is a huge market (the whole world) and it’s getting bigger as you read these words According to the Computer Industry Almanac, there were 934 million Internet users up to September 2004; there will be 1.07 billion in this year. Now, is there any doubt that a 934 million-user pool is a very attractive target given the leverage you have on the Internet? Given all the wonderful reasons for starting your own Internet Business, I am sure that by now you have already made up your mind whether starting an Internet Business is for you.

Reading experience evolving
If there is a company than can finally establish the ebook as a regular reading experience (not talking about replacing paper books here), I guess it is Amazon.
And they are doing it the big way, or at least starting. See the Kindle device.
The thing is not very sexy, and while it has some nice features, the main point for me is who is trying to seel that to us.
1 - We already are purchasing books from Amazon. We already have an account and we all can do 1-click shopping from this gadget.
2 - They already have the digital content, the publisher contacts, and huge amounts of book metadata... (more)

Agilist attack to a Microsoft subdomain
I didn't know about this Agile Center within the Architecture Center, but it is a great discovery (thanks to Roy for the tip).
Interestingly enough, most of the time Microsoft was ignoring or just pushing Agile methodologies and practices in the real of development issues. This is the first time I see them classifying Agile as an architectural concern, the same I always did.
Maybe I'm unconciously biased by my current (almost full-time) job at Microsoft, but i smell changes...

Seamless integration?
My August editorial for Level Extreme .NET Magazine
Integrating applications -at least at the enterprise level- is today
generating the same amount of work, or even more than building new
ones. In fact, it can be argued that as far as corporations keep
exposing their business processes as cohesive and autonomous services,
integrating them in new configurations is a way of producing new applications.
However, Service Oriented Architecture adoption is still timid and it
is primarily been adopted in new development, whereas just a small
portion of old corporate solutions are wrapped... (more)
Of Mice and Men
My July editorial for Level Extreme .NET Magazine.
We seem to be in the verge of an important change on computer
interfaces. The mighty keyboard dominated the human-to-computer
interaction from the last 50+ years. Indeed, since its beginning, in
the form of a teletype first, then in a more direct way. Output was
more complicated, and moved ahead a bit faster with the jump from cards
to printers and finally to the still dominating (but slowly fading)
Cathodic Ray Tube.
Anyway, computer history is not linear, but logarithmic, and
while the mouse started shaking its tail just a mere... (more)
Next Step: Web IDEs
I wrote about this some time ago on one of my Level Extreme .NET Magazine editorials. It seems I'm not the only one.
Peter Fisk of Vista Smalltalk fame is thinking among the same lines, although for less sophisticated developer types.
My take is that this should happen short-term, but inevitably more complete IDEs will start appearing, and development tools will quickly move server-side.
Meta-Art
I love when software -what I like to do for a living- meets art -something I liked all my life.
