MacBook – Part 2
I knew I wasn’t going to be happy with my 17″ MacBook Pro, so I went online and purchased a 15″ antiglare refurbished one. The problem was that I needed it before I was going to return my 17″ to MicroCenter, so that I could transfer everything over. But then this happened. MBP was placed [...]
My Dell e6400 Woes

So I sent it to the Depot to get fixed, the video worked out but then I started having other strange problems. I did not work [...]

I don’t think I will ever understand why people want to broadcast their location to the world. Maybe I’m [...]
4 Hour Work-Week Math – It doesn’t add up!
The biggest problem with The 4 Hour Work Week is the math, you see the entire book is just built on this faulty premise: a 10 cent PPC or Pay Per Click. When you start to add up how many impressions you would get from such a low PPC you would need keywords totally in [...]

What I’m learning about sales.
