Mad, Mad World: 7/15/06

Here are a couple things I’ve run across recently that you might enjoy: Those crazy Japanese are “at it” again. No, I’ve never been to Japan… but I think I saw the movie. What a seemingly fascinating culture! And now, from the 21st...

Announcing Street-Buzz.com

I’ve been working on a concept for a new site for some time, and was finally able to get it launched today. Street-Buzz.com is a new publishing site for helpful informative articles…allowing authors of various stripes to take their content to wider...

Improving the Customer Experience

I had an idea about 2 weeks ago for a new web site. I spent some money to buy an established domain name, rather than starting from scratch. This first step wasn’t perfect, but it went pretty well. Step Two was to acquire a script to power the site. I purchased...

A Moment to Remember

Happy 4th of July! Because the 3rd is my birthday, I’ve always had an odd attachment to this particular holiday. And yet, here it is once again. No fireworks for me this year. For once, I don’t have kids of the age where they need to be taken. I enjoy...

5 Minutes of Fun (and more…)

This looks like a really fun time. A bunch of folks went to something called Foocamp, and had a bunch of fun shooting pictures in the dark with an extended exposure. This was obviously a cooperative effort, because the person would have to have stayed completely still...

A New “No-NoFollow” Logo

Spam, spam, spam, spam. It sucks. And the good folks who created the blog platforms knew it would be a big problem, so they switched off the links in the blog comment section. However, that was before Akismet was available…a wonderful free spam filter for blog...

Instruction in Passive Income

I am NOT the studious type, as those who know me personally can attest. I’m more of an idea guy…impulsive, creative and impatient. Sometimes this of benefit…often, maybe. Other times, it can be a drawback. So I tend to value resources that can teach...

Cool Free Tools for Your Computer

Even though I used to do some IT work, I was a Mac guy at the time…and the tools were totally different than on the PC. And… that was eons ago… the internet was much younger… and spyware was almost unheard of. I had a long battle yesterday with...

Tim Ferriss: The 4-Hour Workweek

I’ve had my eye on Tim Ferriss for 2-3 months now. When I read a bit about the concept of his forthcoming book, something about it got my attention. I should begin by saying that I don’t generally buy a lot of self-help or get-rich-quick books. But...
