Is Free or Open Source Software Any Good?
Posted by: | CommentsThat’s a tough question. After a few frustrating experiences, I wrote off all open source software as junk. My complaints were usually justified.
Updates were haphazard and the software often had little or no documentation (that a non-tech person could understand). If you had a problem there was no 800 number to call to get help, The user interface was usually horrible (something only a “code-writer” could love), and, frankly, I distrusted anything created by someone who was doing it for a hobby.
While there are still plenty of examples out there of open-source software created by people who have no concept of the meaning of the term “user-friendly”, there are a lot of free software packages out there that are surprisingly good. And the next step up into the paid-level is usually reasonable.

Blog For Money – How To Make Money Blogging
Posted by: | CommentsBlog for money used to be very difficult. You could put Google ads on your blog (I never made a dime off of those). You could put affiliate ads on your blog (I have some on this one but they rarely get clicked). You could put banner ads on your blog (almost complete waste of time).
These are all passive systems and rarely make anyone much money unless you have an extremely popular blog with a ton of traffic. What you want is to be in control so you can make as much money with your blog as you want.

Sarah Palin Won Because She Didn’t Lose? Please!
Posted by: | CommentsI actually heard one of the University professor commentators on Public Television say that “Palin won because she didn’t lose.”
Certainly, Palin didn’t implode. I’m actually glad of it. Nobody wants to see this person make a fool of herself in the debate like she did in her Katie Couric interview.
However, the only time she impressed me was when she spoke from personal experience as the Governor of Alaska. She spoke in her own, confidant voice drawn from decisions she made as a leader.

Looking for a job? You need to get creative…
Posted by: | Comments
If you’re looking for a job, it’s time to stop using passive methods like posting resumes and chasing job postings and start thinking of yourself as a product for sale. That’s right, you’re a product. And you need to start marketing yourself.
So, what’s the first thing a business does when they start marketing? They get business cards printed up, they get marketing materials made, and they build a website.
