If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I revisit the topic of schedules every so often because schedules are evolving things. The reason why Zen to Done works for me is that it minimizes the importance of the calendar. I do most of this in my [...]

I used to work on cars. I thought I loved it at the time. I realized after a while that I hated it. I like saving the money. Don’t get me wrong. I still will work on cars, but I will bitch about it.
Sometimes I chase down why things won’t work. Sometimes I’m tired of [...]

The Plans
I plan to write good posts. Once, I thought blogging was just internet writing and I just spit out a few words here and left for weeks at a time. I am trying to change that, but that doesn’t mean it will always happen, for now.
I always plan to add images to every [...]

No Time To Read
I don’t know about you, but I don’t get that much time to read. I used to read all the time. Now I get eye bites. Short glimpses of paragraphs. Reading half of a book and then figuring out the rest for myself.

I have said many times before that I don’t get writer’s block. No, I just have days where anything I type turns magically into crap right before my eyes and no matter how much I beat it with a stick, it still is not that great.
There are days when I can write article after article [...]

Solved!
Short post. Just got one of my blogs hacked. Only one blog and I only lost one post since I do backups. Some people. But only at the blog level because hey, other sites on that account are still active. I am refraining from commenting any more for fear of repercussion.
So its good to do [...]

Shortly after the holiday season, my mind turns to taxes and this year, to the fact that I got trapped in an ARM that increases my mortgage payment two months from now. It looked good on paper two years ago and I could probably absorb it, but I don’t want to if I don’t have [...]

I hope that I will be getting to some of the John Chow type income updates soon, but last month I made about $50 from this blog or about 1% of my affiliate income. But I have some monetization ideas. Some a little bit different than the run of the mill. The difference is not [...]
