How Simple Web Design Helps Your Business

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 08/28/2008

I wish more people would read and believe this article. After simplifying GLSmyth.com, one of my websites, I initially thought that it was too simple. However, almost immediately I saw a dramatic increase in traffic. The dumbed-down look has meant that … (see comment)

I actually bought my laptop through eBay, but the seller had to go through hell first. I initially had a question about the laptop, and after getting an answer, I placed a nice bid on the laptop because it was exactly what I wanted. I was the high bidde … (see comment)

Ernie Kovacs would certainly be on my short list - if you are younger than 50 then you probably do not know who he is. Time Magazine includes The Ernie Kovacs Show as one of the top 100 television shows of all time for good reason. (see comment)

The Best Films That Never Won a Best Picture Oscar

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 02/19/2008

I have been on a quest to see all movies that got the best picture award, and have five to go. Another article might be the worst movies to win an Oscar. Certainly, Tom Jones and Gigi would be in the top five of that category. (see comment)

The Rolling Stones? They were, at best, parodies of themselves. I was sad to watch them and realize what they have become. (see comment)

Have any money in a 401(k)? You just lost a huge chunk

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 01/18/2008

If it's not then you continue buying on a regular basis. That's what reduces your risk. Pick two dates ten years apart and look at the DOW's value on those two dates, then tell me you would rather not have invested on the earlier of those two dates. (see comment)

Have any money in a 401(k)? You just lost a huge chunk

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 01/18/2008
