This morning while frantically writing this assignment that was due an hour and a half later, I realized that hey, this might make a lame blog post... so here is my assignment for my business 101 class that I am required to take because of my minor in Management in Business Information Systems which is a part of the business school at UNLV.

Oh how i can't wait until i can be done with school so i can concentrate on actual business and not just talk about future business in theory. Enjoy my ramblings below.

Article 1: New Data Privacy Laws Set For Firms by Ben Worthen

This article is from the Wall Street Journal and was published on October 16, 2008. Worthen discusses a new “Nevada law that took effect this month that requires all businesses [in Nevada] to encrypt personally-identifiable customer data, including names and credit-card numbers, that are transmitted electronically.” Worthen further describes that Nevada is on of the first few states that are adopting this policy. Estimates show that this will cost average small businesses up to $3,000 of up front cost and around $500 extra operating cost to comply with this new security requirement.

Interview Report

Okay, here is a posting of my homework that was due today. The assignment was to interview someone that would provide relevant information on my capstone project, spomato.com. In case you didn't know, this web site is a project for school.

I also thought I would take this opportunity to try and treat this post like a podcast, given that it has an interview. So, check out on http://labs.spomato.com for this post as a podcast. This is just a normal post with an audio link for which I am seeing how it comes out.

here is the link to the interview: Interview with Range Larson

***Note the following in my homework asignment for class. Please do no copy it and note that transcript is an adaptation of the actual interview. It has been edited for content and flow, to represent the intended response of the interviewee. I am not a skilled interviewer, but had fun doing this interview.

Enjoy.

Assignment #7 – Interview Report
October 25, 2007

Description of Interviewee: Range Larson is a volleyball coach and director of a volleyball club organization in Las Vegas.
Process of securing interview: Getting Range to do the interview was not difficult because he is a colleague of mine. We both work for a construction supply company here in Las Vegas. First, I text messaged Range about the interview, for which I did not receive an answer. So, the next day I went into his office and asked him to do the interview. He said okay and we did the interview.
