About Me I love ambitiously building companies that make the world a little better. The rest of my time is spent simply enjoying life. I love spending time with friends and family looking for ways to enjoy the moment, challenge myself and learn something new. read moreMy CompanyMojoPages - Watch the behind the scenes videos Got a question?Ask me anythingMy Personal ProfilesFacebookTwitterLinkedIn  Subscribe Tumblr (3.0; @carder)http://joncarder.com/“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or...http://joncarder.com/post/1054832042http://joncarder.com/post/1054832042Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:07:21 -0700<object width="400" height="254"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sPLoHGhg6UU&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sPLoHGhg6UU&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="254" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>A few words on The Kelsey Conference (a must attend for anyone in the Local Search space) as well as game mechanics.</p>http://joncarder.com/post/730436359http://joncarder.com/post/730436359Wed, 23 Jun 2010 23:15:00 -0700Game Mechanics is hot right now because companies like Foursquare.com and Groupons.com are...http://joncarder.com/post/549498751http://joncarder.com/post/549498751Sun, 25 Apr 2010 18:17:00 -0700 Thanks to the advent of video on the web content creation is getting more and more niche.  One of...http://joncarder.com/post/424854570http://joncarder.com/post/424854570Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:23:00 -0800 Ever since I saw that magical picture hanging on my cabin wall at summer camp in junior high...http://joncarder.com/post/390105908http://joncarder.com/post/390105908Sun, 14 Feb 2010 20:07:00 -0800It’s Friday the 13th, so here are my 13 rules for success.

The wave I’m chasing down is in Todos Santos, an island off the coast of Ensenada. If the waves don’t kill me the Mexican drug cartel might. Wish me luck.
