We're talking more in terms of asking people for a little help, or offering a little help of your own. I publish information I find helpful on this blog without expecting anything in return from you guys. It just helps stay motivated if you have someone to bounce ideas off of.

Just jump in? I know AM fairly well, but live in Charleston, a ghost town for serious web talent - everyone and their mother owns a design shop, but it all looks like 1996. Nobody wants to step out on a limb, even when there are still so many opportunities if someone wants to actually work instead of sitting in the cube to collect an hourly wage or doing client work. Granted, my clients are where I make most of my money, but it's bleeding my soul away ;) Anyone else encounter apprehension over long-distance business partnerships and have advice on how to run them well? how do you guys get to the point where you have enough trust in people that you may only meet online regarding financial matters like this? Just jump in?

Have you tried COD4? For the XBox360 it's amazing. I was a quake - mouse/keyboard guy for a long time but this game really works for console. I highly recommend it. Easy to jump in and out too, not like an MMO. Thanks for all the info, I'm learning a helluva lot. “All that time spent playing EvE online and DoD:S could be used for banking dollars instead of pwning nubs.”

I was the "do it yourself" type when I first started but your dead on cakes about getting in good with others.
