Protect Yourself Against ID Theft

April 25th, 2008

Have you ever had anyone achieve something by using you or your name? This might sound like a rarity, but I happens more than you think, it happens in the form of Identity Theft. I ran across a brochure from the Federal Trade Commission about this, and it provides very helpful tips that help someone’s identity remain untouched by unlawful hands.

DTV: February 17, 2009

April 24th, 2008

I’m appalled by how many people still don’t understand that the February 17, 2009 digital television transition, will not affect those who receive their channels through a cable or satellite provider. I have heard some people say that they’ll have to buy a digital TV because theirs will soon be useless; others say that they keep forgetting to act in order to get their coupon to buy a converter box, which sounds fine until they mention they have pay cable. Before these people make an unnecessary investment in this weak economy, they need to become informed. I saw a television commercial today about a government website that provides information on everything one needs to know about the DTV transition. Read the rest of this entry »

April 15th, 2008

April 11th, 2008

I have read countless posts about young entrepreneurs running blogs and businesses and making more money per month, than a lot of people make in a year. These guys are usually in their mid to late teens; and as far as I knew, that was as young as they could get. But I recently ran across an article about kids in their early teens who have established businesses. That means that they began at a very early age.

Success, Fame, Fortune. Work Ethic

February 29th, 2008

A lot of people have told me that they hate school or they hate their jobs and that they wish they could be a musician or a stand-up comic, because they are extraordinary jobs with extraordinary pay. Of course these are people that at school, do the bare minimum just to get by. Or at work, do mind numbing repetitiveness because it is easy. I tell them that I know how they feel, that being rich and being in the spotlight and being known would be amazing. In my mind however, I think that these people will never get there because by the way they say things they think it is an effortless walk in the park. This always reminds me of my High School history teacher; he would always say that the problem with people today is that they like to complain but never move a finger to change things.
