Declaration of Financial Independence
My bank, ING Direct, recently published the following “We, the savers” declaration. I think it is good advice to live by. It shows a high level of integrity by ING Direct. The Real Estate Field Notes blog explained that this was “ten rules to live by if one is to be financially independent.” We will [...]
Advice on Starting a Business – S Corp or a LLC
I came across a great article explaining the differences between an S-Corporation and an LLC. Most entrepreneurs will tell you that one of their difficult decisions they faced when starting their first business was how it was to be organized. The United States Government has made a web of confusing laws regarding companies that can [...]
The Price of Rice is Crazy
You may not have realized this, but corn, gold, and oil are not the only high priced commodities in the world markets. Rice, a staple of many families worldwide, has become so expensive that families are rationing what they have. You see stories such as this one, describing the dismal situation around the world.

After all, why throw out dedicated customers just because they now have real jobs? Even though Facebook will allow me to be a member when I graduate from my university (In [...]
Wireless Internet at the Airport
I was at the Chicago O’Hare airport the other day and our flight was delayed. So I did the thing that any guy with a laptop computer would do. I checked for wireless internet connections. In fact, there was a wireless connection at the airport, but they charge about five dollars a day to use [...]
Free Microsoft Accounting 2007 Express Edition
Microsoft is currently giving away Microsoft accounting 2007 express edition for the low price of FREE! I was surprised when I saw this. I am sure that they are looking to corner the Accounting market and perhaps steal some thunder from Intuit Quickbooks. A few years ago, Microsoft attempted a purchase of Quickbooks, but failed [...]
Web Project Planning for BethelFellowshipChurch.com
I was recently asked to help build a website for my church in Minneota. I think that a church website is an excellent idea, and dove into the project as soon as the semester was over.
