Yesterday, Microsoft announced the Xbox One, and there was much rejoicing. Now I'm just going to have to figure out what to do with all of my Xbox 360s... I know that the games won't be backwards compatible, but I don't really use 'em for gaming much, anyway.

Some have suggested that I just build a PC to do the job if I'm mainly using the consoles as media players, and that's a fair point. But if the Xbox One has the staying power of the Xbox 360, I believe I'm still taking the path of least resistance by investing in a couple to suit my particular needs.

What do you guys think? Check out the video below, join in the conversation, and share with your friends if you think they have some good insights about the announcement, too!

I've been an "entrepreneur" since 1996, and my business has had its fair share of both ups and downs. 

What you should know is that the top source of funding small businesses in the US is out of personal savings (not to mention a TON of "personal time" and sweat). This, according to a report commissioned by Intel and Dell. 

I've never taken external funding (VC or angel money), unless you count the $50 my mom gave me back when LockerGnome first started. I've always figured out a way to avoid any kind of debt - though it's been an uphill battle, and I'm not sure what the future will hold for me.

The surprise reinvention of Flickr's design threw a lot of people for a loop. Some people love it. Some people hate it. 

If you're a Flickr user, in which camp do you stand? Will it make you consider storing your digital photos elsewhere -- or use Flickr more -- as a result?

Here's what we've been talking about at LockerGnome and beyond! Join in the conversation and get your friends to join in, too.

Best one-star comment about canned unicorn meat that I've come across, courtesy of Amazon user V. Zhirinovsky:

"Don't order this product if you have a conscience. The unicorns in the industrial unicorn farms live in appalling conditions, in many cases worse than those of the pegasus ranches. Don't believe the propaganda of Lisa Frank and the other tycoons of big unicorn; all that awaits these poor creatures is the abattoir and the rainbow factory. Be ethical and buy (kosher) dragon meat instead."

Even though I confessed in today's vlog that I've not YET seen an episode of Doctor Who, I know that my Doctor Who fan friends have been wondering how to pass the time between the recent season finale and 50th anniversary special in November. The Doctor Who Edition 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition of Monopoly could help you through it.

Some people can pull off truly stunning photography armed with only their iPhones, and they amaze their friends daily with brilliant Instagram and Flickr posts. Maybe you've been encouraged by this fact only to discover that, using the very same model of iPhone, you can't manage anything beyond the shaky snapshot or blurry capture more akin to a Bigfoot sighting than an appealing masterpiece.

Now, for only $19 -- that's 51% off the regular price -- you can discover the full capabilities of your iPhone camera, know the apps that will give your pictures the most punch, learn techniques to maximize your iPhone's resources, and hone valuable skills to truly master your iPhone camera with the iPhone Photography Video Course. There are over 93 lectures and eight hours of content! If you find that it's not to your satisfaction, there's even a 30-day money back guarantee.

The music video for Share My Time is officially up

Here is the music video for my song "Share My Time". It's brand new, hot off the press, just uploaded, only now shared with the world! If you get in quick you might just be the first person to see it;)

The video takes me all around the beautiful regions of Woollongong, carrying around my ukulele, making friends with mushrooms and ants. But there's only so long one can adventure on their own... You'll have to watch to see what happens!

Remember, you can still download the song absolutely free at http://www.triplejunearthed.com/meriamber
And if you rate & review it, then you can help the song find its way onto radio.

They say that you get what you pay for, but paying for stuff when you don't have to is for squares. I'm not talking about stealing (that's still verboten!); I'm talking about taking advantage of legitimate offers that are out there for consumers, usually by companies that are trying to market to new audiences and get their brand name out there.

But sometimes, well-established brands use this strategy, too. Here are a few things that you can get for free right now:
