Digital video porn--now that was a great business,
at least for a year. Probably a glut of it now tho.

I had been thinking how to get into broadcast
weather--right now I'm a fed meteorologist,
but would be cool to be a private met and
upload a daily mpeg weather briefing to
the net for my region. That kind of thing
could be popular once folks get their cable
modems or DSL.

Even started a thread when I started to
think seriously about quitting my job...
those teevee mets make good money, and most
of the time they fail to mention the
interesting weather of the day...way overpaid,
tho I'm not too sure a weather website would
rake it in...I'd be competing with the free
forecast from my old employer...

here is that thread (dead now) but you never
know, might someday get the balls to walk out.
We had a computer fella here who's job was cut,
he had to take a serious pay increase when he
left (he had real skills). Forecasting weather
on the other hand is a bit lame.
