    Then and Now

    Take a walk down memory lane with me. Post a pic of you when you first got started in the Industry and a pic now. What was it like when you first got in the biz compared to now? I'll start.

    Then:


    I was 38 going on 39 when I entered this biz. The very first client I had was MeanBitches/Meanbitchbucks in 2006 (although I started in the industry working for AVN for a few short months)

    It was the tail end of the glory days of online porn. Webmasters were still making good money, there were a decent amount of whales in the game, and sponsors were doing big parties giving out cars at shows.

    Now:


    I've celebrated my 40th birthday several times with a few hundred of my closest friends (you know who you are), had awesome adventures in different cities both in the US and abroad, and learned A LOT. I travel less than I did several years ago when there was practically a show or two every month, but now shows are less about parties and socializing and more about getting business done and deals closed.

    Obviously I have not been in the game as long as many of the real veterans here, but have been in it long enough to see major changes and met lots of people who have come and gone.

    How about you?

                I was really good looking when I went to my first show. All the porn girls were all over me. I'm even better looking today. All true.

                          Oh man there were some photos from my first two Vancouver webmaster gatherings in 2004, but the sites they were hosted on are long gone

                          Here's me on the first night of my first show, the 2006 Costa Rica bash...

                            Then at 34. (I am in the white to your right). Everyone was making money back then. You could throw a crappy website together, get set up with billing through DMR and away you went.



                            Now at 46.

                              Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                              think about that
