Continuing with the Jimmy Fallon trend, here is a video clip of everyone’s favorite wine freak (I mean that in a good way as I am slowly becoming a wine freak myself!), Gary Vaynerchuk, appearing on the Jimmy Fallon Show last night.

I met Gary at Elite Retreat earlier this year and he gave one of the best talks I have ever witness on hustling and succeeding in life. After that, I got the chance to talk to him for a little bit about some of our newest unreleased ventures and he gave us some good advice.

Gary is an awesome guy to watch/talk to and I highly recommend everyone check out the clip below and follow him on Twitter!

Congratulations for your Jimmy Fallon appearance, Gary!

Project Natal is going to change video gaming. Microsoft will release this as an upgrade for all XBox 360 systems in 2010. It truly is what the Nintendo Wii should have been. Check out this video of Project Natal being demoed on the Jimmy Fallon show.

What do you think? Are you going to buy Project Natal when it comes out?

So this is the longest I have gone without a post in a while. This blog and its audience definitely deserves an update though:

Affiliate Theme
My last post was announcing Affiliate Theme. Well, Affiliate Theme received a ton of awesome exposure and a TON of people are using it to more easily set up affiliate marketing websites. We have a lot of cool new features and additions planned which we will be adding in the upcoming weeks.

Moved back to Seattle, from Arizona
I moved to Arizona from Seattle almost 3 years ago for school. School didn’t last long (I dropped out) and eventually started this blog and building online businesses. Six months later, UBD started and since then we have been running and growing the business.

Many of you who follow me on Twitter know UBD recently moved back to Seattle from Arizona. This was due primarily for business reasons as we have many more business connections and opportunities in Seattle. Not only that, but all of our families still live here and it is a definite plus to be able to say hello to the family more often.

What’s next?
We have some really cool projects we have been working on lately which are going to change the blog design industry. I am excited to announce some cool stuff in the coming months.

As I get more caught up with work, I definitely will be blogging more. I need to start doing video – it is so much easier!

At the last minute on Sunday, my Dad (who is visiting from Seattle) and I scored tickets to the 2009 NBA All Star Game, which amazingly took place in my current residence of Phoenix, Arizona.

I have been to several professional basketball games in the past, including three separate Michael Jordan games (another story for another time), but no games since the late 90’s, and nothing as star-studded as an All Star Game. w00t!

The NBA has changed a tremendous amount in the past 15 years with the dominant players being Lebron, Kobe, and still Shaq, who is now on Twitter. Anyone who follows Shaq knows how much of a goofy, fun guy he is. During his intro, Shaq put on one of the funniest dances I have ever seen.

I won’t even try to describe it. Just watch…

You can see the TwitPics I took from the game: NBA All Star 2009 Twitpics

I also took a bunch of video with my Flip Mino HD which I will be posting shortly. What an incredibly fun experience!

UPDATE: Video I took with my Flip Mino HD of awesome SHAQ DUNK!!!!!

The other day I was perusing Mashable and I found this video by Seth Godin in which he explains how businesses should change their focus in the down economy. It is short, but worth watching.

If you don’t know who Seth Godin is, he is the author of many popular business books and a speaker with appearances at Google, TED and a number of charities. Godin popularized the topic of permission marketing.

What advice do you have for online businesses and other startups in this down economy?
