Pistol Pete’s BlogCamp Experience


It’s been a long day of aggressively blogging and driving traffic towards my blogs. First, we had the food and all the prizes.

They kept coming all night. I’ve got myself a few new t-shirts to sport in my classes. I did some push-ups and some sit-ups, some amateur video recording (see my posts on YouTube) and I observed some beatboxing.

Let me tell you, you get really wired when you sit infront of FaceBook, Twitter (id:r11Live), Google Groups, YouTube, MSN, Google Talk, Outlook… and more. I think everyone I know is starting to get frustrated with the amount of messages that I’ve been sending them.

I know I have about 50 texts on my phone from them likely saying what the heck? All in all I think this was extreemly rapid fire communicating.

Contact me for whatever reason at: r11.mobi@gmail.com

Tell MacEwan who your daddy-mac favorite band is!


I personally love Breaking Benjamine, Social Code, and Three Days Grace.

Right now on Sonic 102 FM they are playing some trippy song by Depeche Mode. It sounds ok.

But, what I’m wondering… What do you like?

Are there any good music sights out there to listen to while I do my Business homework?

1club.fm has done me well but I’ve heard enough of the same songs. Maybe I’ll have to head over to sonic.

Government and Social Media


What role should the government play in Social Media?

What is this, China?  I mean isn’t the answer obvious.  The only caveat to absolute freedom of social media would come into play if people’s rights were being infringed upon by hate groups or sexual criminals.  Other than that the world is going to have to adapt.  

The government should keep up with technology and understand how to use social media tools but that should pretty much be the extent.

Privacy laws are going to become more and more important as photographic recognition applications begin to spider the web but hey.. the fundimental ‘as long as the rights of others are not infringed upon’ should hold true.

Why is Business importnant?


The most recent topic presented to the competitors at this blog camp is “What have you learned about business? Why is business important?“.

I love this topic. Let me begin by saying that Business is not about money. It’s about creating value in people’s lives. In business terms, you could say ‘value add’.

Everybody has a certain level of value to contribute into society. In our capitalist system we assess that value in a monetary fasion. We let things float and people end up paying a price for a certain level of value.

So what is business? Business is the exchange of these valuable things. When we study business we hope to be able to learn to manage the trade of “things” and “services” with all of the tools available out there. It is all about creating more value at less of a cost and getting as much value as you can from others.

If you find this interesting then come to MacEwan and learn business!

BoomBoxing at the MacEwan BlogCamp


Check out this guy, he rocks:

This guy was really entertaining here at MacEwan. He brought a lot of humor to the competition. Do you know anyone who can beatbox? He told me that there was a little MacEwan Beatbox competition with his friends and that I couldn’t call him the MacEwan Beat Boxer… so I call him the MacEwan BoomBox.

Hahaha.. Anyways enjoy.

Open Topic: Let’s get serious


I don’t know about all of you but I find school gets better the closer to graduation you get.

In the beginning it drives you crazy. In fact you may feel that School Sucks:

I mean… you start with all of the boring theory courses like Economics 101 and 102… Math.. I mean.. Nothing gets better than Statistics :)

But it does get better.  As you move into your second and third year you begin to build up a lexicon of termiology that helps you understand the news.

Then you start to see business cases (problems) as oppertunities and they intrigue you.

And finally…


But as you go through you find it better and better because you learn the ropes:

This video is Hilarious!!

Edmonton Food Bank


Again, the theme of Philanthropy pops up again. We just received a few boxes of mac and cheese here at the competition. Everyone loves mac and cheese.

I would like to remind you, the future business leaders, that it is always important to give back.

Weather you are thinking globally or about your local community, you should be generous.  It will improve your well-being.  According to this paper “The Exciting New Research that Proves the Link Between Doing Good and

Living a Longer, Healthier, Happier LifeIt can mean a healthier life.
