My first effort of image development for a web site design started over 10 years ago with the “crown & anchor” which I believe offers image correlation for “invest & offshore”. Back in my early days of learning Photoshop this was a good practice subject, one which I’ve continued to devote time to right up […]
Mind Altering
Over 12 years ago I first started reading the book called Urantia and attended several study groups so I could ask questions and attempt to understand where the book came from, why it was written, by whom, and why more people weren’t reading it? One of the answers that had meaning to me was that […]
Body of Evidence
My writing assignment today is to write something suitable for this Blog’s category “body” and since I’m not feeling inclined to write about my own body, which is getting fitter but fatter, I’ll save that for another article. So I ran a search in Yahoo News of the word “health” and read a round-up of […]
Embu das Artes
Rarely I travel in Sao Paulo alone and usually never more than I have to but there’s a place about 45 minutes from my home that I thoroughly enjoy visiting. It’s a little town called Embu das Artes or just plain Embu. We have some good friends living there and they have a house on […]

Cyber Estate Developer
Silicon Palms was incorporated in Florida on 9.9.99 and has always been the culmination of my desire to become financially independent from the proceeds of web design, development, and marketing. My first company OffshoreNet was the precursor of the dream but the company name was misleading and stereotyped me too much. To this day OffshoreNet […]
Soul of U2
Today I came across a brilliant article by a columnist in UPI, about U2 by a writer named Margaret Benefiel. She’s promoting a new book called Soul at Work and also has an interesting website called Executive Soul. I’m going to share an excerpt from the article that caught my eye and then I’m going […]
