Welcome to Virtual Reality

The economy in a nutshell... Google buys Motorola. Think about it... a virtual business -- a simple search engine -- is wealthy enough to spend $12.5 billion to purchase a longstanding, successful company that manufactures actual physical goods.

Still wondering where all the jobs are going? Welcome to the virtual world -- much less overhead and much less human resources. If managed correctly, a virtual buiness is proof that less equals more.

Virtual companies can generate huge revenues without ever manufacturing a single physical product. Not to mention the impact this will have on the level of power it gives Google going forward.

Search engines are the future news media -- they will dicatate what we read, what we know, and what we buy. If you thought newspapers, radio, and network tv controled news in the past, the internet will be that on steroids -- just give it a little more time.

Metz Bicycle Museum

How cool is this?! Reminds me of dreams I've had where I'm on a huge bicyle. I'd like to see someone actually ride that thing.

Skee-Ball Anyone?

A classic arcade game, Skee-Ball is over 100 years old!

While the game was invented across the river in Philadelphia in 1909 by J. Dickinson Este, Atlantic City, NJ can proudly claim the very first skee-ball tournament held in 1932.

Although not as popular as other sports, skee-ball is played competitively by leagues like SkeeNation and Brewskee-Ball.

With NJ being a state that borders on the Eastern coastline, there are obviously many boardwalks and, therefore, many arcades. Skee-ball can easily be found from Manasquan down to Cape May.
