Kat Argonza Does anyone make money from their photography? I'm looking into iStock or ShutterStock and thinking about selling some of my photos. So far I've only posted my photos on my blog (http://www.wayfaring-stranger.com) and gotten adsense money from it, but I'd like to monetize it a little better.

I'd recommend you develop a niche and shoot as much as you possibly can..see what sells and shoot more. :) G/L.

: I definitely agree with the weddings gig. Start small by taking the initiative to take pro-like wedding pictures to build a portfolio.

Adam Perkins: Thought about it for a while. I don't know if the knees could handle all the running and such. Good luck Rob. I hear it can be life changing.

Adam Perkins Anyone else have trouble working for an older management team with convention ideas of what an employee is and should do? Other than bringing issues up in direct conversation with your boss what other ways can you communicate A.How much more you can offer (think Value added employees) B.How far off base they are on some decisions (competitors at 1/10th the price and better offerings)

I'd then try to voice my concerns and frustrations with an eye towards the value that can be added to the company. If you don't have at least one mentor or person you respect I'd say it's definitely time to move on.

Going to have to agree with Chris If the price has dropped to these all time new levels you have to get education and the motivation to stay ahead of the curve. Seems to me you need to not be the plan b and go for a through j giving a wider perspective. The board should be consulted at the very least in the ways of social evolution. http://bit.ly/8ZEMi0

Adam Perkins I was curious if anyone had some in-depth knowledge from a technical knowhow perspective on utilizing some of the built in features of a cell phones location tracking system? Sites like Loopt.com for example. Or if you knew a site that has some specific information on it? Thanks :)

I am an undergraduate business student in Toronto, Canada. As per your profile, I believe that you have considerable experience in the e-business industry. If you wouldn't mind, may I ask you to add me as a fan so I could send you a message with some general questions about that field (since Brazen Careerist would not permit me to do so without that)? Looking forward to your response, and thanks in advance.

Hey Adam, let's grab a beer sometime. I implemented a few small mobile apps and could give you some insight into it.

Generally there's just an API for each phone (IPhone/Blackberry) or service provider(Sprint/Verizon - for phones that don't have built in GPS) that your code can call into to get GPS data. You might have to determine the city/street yourself, but the distance calculation isn't hard. You'll just need to work with a programmer to do it.

Adam Perkins HR is an extremely broad topic. Are we talking outsourcing, consulting, hiring, laws, consulting, etc? :) I do technical consulting for HR, Payroll, and Benefit systems.

Amy Banks: Zumba is the best workout I ever had. It is a latin infused class with fun dance moves. The class goes by so fast. One class and you'll be hooked.
