They didnt know what to think. The people that devloped the streaming solution for oh.tv were amazing. Kinda the first of its kind the way we did it.. Now it seems like a standard.

Anywho.. Let's just say that it took focus away from the important things, and in the long run, let a lot of people down.

I don't think its something I did personally. Believe me, I was sold on the idea.. The numbers were all there.. Maybe I was to ahead of my time.. I dont know.. But I do know that myself and Lori Z. busted our ass to get eyeballs in front the ads, and of course the buzz attracted content partners. So many, I could not intergrate them all.

250M handsets and sex.. sounded real good.

After awhile and painfully realizing that it wasnt working out, I abandon the idea of mobile, released everyone from their contracts, and went back to what I knew. Even back in world of affiliate programs, all I wanted to do is go back under a rock. Working with CE was cool for a few months.. We've been close friends for years.. But that to had to end.

Bummer, It was a great experiance.

I was told that my ego got to big.. I don't know, I guess I can see it.. Everything I touched turned to gold. But still thought I was humble and treated everyone the same. After CE, I just kinda went away... Lost interest in the game. Lost interest in the money. Lost interest in the fight.

Well I'm glad to say that those days are over. I have that same feeling coming back..

But, first things first.. After holding it in for 2 years... I just want to apologize to my content, technology partners and Lori Z, that mobile didnt work out..

The second thing, if anyone ever thought I had an ego, tell me about it. I want to hear why you think that. It doesnt have to be on a chat board.. I have an ICQ, I wont be mad at you.. hell.. If you thought I was an asshole.. then tell me.. I'll respect you more for your honesty.

Ok... Now that is said, time to turn the page.


The future looks good. Thank you to everyone.

Boomer Sooner.
