If your home office is anything like mine, you probably have cables and wires and devices coming out of your ears. If only everything could be wireless :roll: . Now that’s a thought.
At any rate, I never knew tracing wires could be that hard. Whenever there’s a hardware problem or a thunderstorm, it typically means I’d be [...]

I blogged and blogged and blogged… like I’ve never blogged before.

Real estate is typically a very lucrative business to be in. A few of my friends have gotten their licenses to become certified real estate agents and are doing very well indeed in this field.
Granted that this business rides the highs and lows of the real estate market but I’d still have to say it [...]

What a week! I’d thought I’d found myself some free time to do all the housekeeping and background work that I keep tossing to the backseat during the course of the year.
But I’ve been down and out with the flu and fever since the weekend before Christmas, and that’s ruined my plans. Suffice to say, [...]

A friend of mine who’s just started working from home recently bought a used cisco router in his attempt to keep his cost of capital low. He found someone selling this router very cheaply at an online forum and bought it.
Now a week in, the router is dead. In trying to save a bit of [...]

Did you know I love personalized pens? I’m so prone to losing pens that having my mark on them makes all the difference.
