I really despise Comcast. Two weeks ago, we decided that we were tired of what they charge… the bill has gone up substantially over the last two years for no improvement in service. Whenever we had an issue they were “experiencing longer than normal wait times”. Whatever. They shipped us boxes to send back our equipment [...]

I won the lottery
I was reading a blog post about living like you’ve won the lottery. Before reading it my mind wandered. I thought about the title and for a split second, I thought how much better my like would be with a million in the bank. Then I realized how many time I’ve won the lottery. How [...]
Another awesome tool I use: Infusionsoft
About a year ago, I began using a very unique marketing platform called Infusionsoft. Infusionsoft claims to help businesses attract customers, automate marketing, close sales and sell online. It does all that. The aspect that I like best is the marketing automation area. Imagine being able to market to each customer and prospect individually based [...]
My favorite web hosting company
Ok, I’ve been dealing with web hosting companies since 1997 when I created my first website. It was a terrible site on even worse hosting. I’ve become more skilled at building feature-rich robust sites over the years. Sadly, many hosting companies I’ve dealt with have not gotten any better. Many have added shiny bells and [...]
Speeding tickets COULD work better
Driving in to work today, I saw, in three separate instances, three people driving too fast and way too aggressively. The interesting thing is that all three cars were high-end vehicles. I’d venture to guess that the three drivers just weren’t concerned about the expense of a speeding ticket or the cost of insurance going up as [...]
Do the right thing, even if it hurts
I’m not a religious person. I AM a spiritual person. I’ve read many key religious books over the years. These books cover a great number of various religions including Christianity, Budism, Taoism, Islam, Hinduism… They are all amazing and not that different from each other. One thing that seems to be the most common thread [...]
From four to two
This week marks the first time since I was 16 years old that I don’t own a car. I sold my beloved Subaru Legacy GT Limited with a 5-speed manual and a stage 2 turbo a couple days ago. Was there anything wrong with it? No. Did I not like it anymore? Nope. Did I [...]
Only a memory: Driving a car
This is the first in a series of articles that look forward by studying the present. What is happening today that will change our world tomorrow? Remember when you had a typewriter? Actually dialed a phone? Put film in a camera? Watched music videos on MTV? It is not a new idea by any means. [...]
Next!
Sometimes I’m bothered by little things. For years I’ve taken issue with the common use of the word “next“. According to Dictionary.com, it has the following meanings: adjective 1. immediately following in time, order, importance, etc.: the next day; the next person in line. 2. nearest or adjacent in place or position: the next room. 3. nearest in relationship or kinship. adverb 4. in the place, time, importance, etc., nearest or immediately following: We’re going to London next. This is my next oldest daughter. 5. on the first occasion to follow: when next we meet. What frustrates me is when people misuse “next” in reference to a day of the week. For [...]
