On my birthday back in February I decided to improve my health, stop drinking alcohol and attempt to get into better physical shape. I’ve been running consistently for years so I’m not unfit, just not totally happy with my upper body strength as well as a small recurring, nagging strain in the calf muscle, so I realized that it would be a good idea to embark upon a strength training regime.
Well now I’m a few months into the program and pleased with the results but an interesting bi-product has become apparent to me and that is the peace of mind I get from the hour long session. Plus the time to think while driving to the club and then the long walk from the parking lot all the way to the gym.

Text Link Ads
On my very first day of joining Text Link Ads I made money, not a jackpot at $7 for the balance of the first month but ‘what the heck!’ it’s a good start considering I can sell up to 9 more links, on a 50/50 revenue share. Potentially I could earn $100 per month (on average) per web site and I own 11 web sites.
Their system is simple, very clean and easy to understand. Seems fair and as I proved to myself, it works fast. So I say to you “go for it!” Monetize Your Site -
Content is King
The more hours I pour into publishing web pages and programming the more it becomes evident to me that content is King. You can create the best looking website in the world, load it with the coolest utilities to make it look like a division of Netscape but without interesting content that people are interested to read about it’ll atrophy and die. Sure all the cool utilities will get used but not by anyone you would care to associate with, as you’ll find links and posts for sex and drugs by people with no-real name or email address.

Open Source Business
Today I came across an article that my Google/Yahoo News filters delivered to my inbox, about how the online installment loans direct lenders for Open-Source becoming more than just a method of software development. I’m publishing this article from the Economist in it’s entirety because I’m a proponent of open-source and have for several years fostered a desire to develop an open source gambling portal, where the members would be the stake-holders and governors of the proceeds of managing a profitable “Players Club” with an extensive search engine, directory, forums and chat rooms.
OPEN, BUT NOT AS USUAL
As “open-source” models move beyond software into other businesses, their limitations are becoming apparent.Unlike bankruptcy orders or IVAs, debt management plans do not count as insolvency, so you won’t write off any of your debt, rather you will repay it at a manageable rate.

Worrier or Warrior?
“Once a man worries, he clings to anything out of desperation; and once he clings he is bound to get exhausted or to exhaust whomever or whatever he is clinging to. A warrior-hunter, on the other hand, knows he will lure game into his traps over and over again, so he doesn’t worry.” ~ Carlos Castaneda, 20th century mystic and Toltec warrior

Sao Paulo summer
Carnival has ended and the city is back to full pace. The weather is hot and humid, just how I like it. My wife Paula and I spend as much time as possible at the Club, get up earlier in the morning when the temperature is very agreeable, to get some programming work done. After a few hours of fixing all the broken pages and programs on the new Silicon Palms web-server, we head to the pool at the club and soak up some sun, swim a few laps, enjoy a cold beverage, then drive back home for an afternoon siesta. Most often we run together in the early evening, after which I’ll spend another half dozen hours (or so) back in front of my computer.

Miami Beach
My partner has a condo in an old luxury apartment builiding on Miami Beach, and I’m lucky enough to get to use it from time to time. Tomorrow night I depart Sao Paulo, Brasil on a red-eye bound for Miami. If my luck holds-up, I’ll arrive and clear customs before 6:00am, hit a cash machine and jump a cab to take me to my pad, change to swim gear and be in the ocean watching the sun come up.
The apartment has a wireless network, so as soon as I plug my laptop in, I’m back riding the light. Nicely decorated, large single bedroom, with hard wood floors and cool art work, furnished in a Havana motif. Second floor looking out towards the Intra-Coastal where the big yachts cruise past. It’s a couple of minute walk out the door and down the stairs to a nicely kept, large swimming pool and walk out the path to the best part of Miami Beach. -
Shelley Anne Day
It’s my sister’s birthday today and I tried calling her but she was out-to-lunch (no pun intended). I’m blessed with a great family and love both my sisters, as they’re so magnanimous, clever, and enthusiastic. Shelley is particularity feisty, almost to the point of being stubborn, but has great sensibilities and incredible values.

Network Marketing Gambling
In all my years of being involved in sales and marketing, I’ve never witnessed a more dynamic combination than what we’re experiencing with the growth on 888.biz MLM program. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since the official launch and we’ve set records for growth and most likely for volume of sales, as there was $300k of new player deposits in the first 4 days alone.
The company computer sweeps the system and provides detailed reports on the 10th, the 20th, and the 25th of each month, plus performs the overall reconciliation on the 1st day of each month, but because of the processing of player deposit we depend on the 3 reports throughout the month to evaluate total group activity.
