This blog doesn’t exactly look like it makes a great deal of money. But, hidden away throughout the site, are numerous income streams [...]

Income is Relative
I don’t like the notion of a yearly salary. And I don’t like the notion of constant pressure to increase this salary. This is just my personal feeling – there is nothing wrong with earning a yearly salary of say 40k and I have nothing against anybody (which is the majority of people) for doing so. Its [...]
The fnt.im URL shortener

If I was to build a domain registration service, it would look just like this. It wasn’t long before I was registering a bunch of domains including fnt.im. Every mogul needs [...]
Copyright Notices on Websites. Needed?
Do We Really Need Copyright on Websites? 2011 is approaching fast and as per the usual ritual, my Twitter stream will soon be dotted with “helpful” reminders from people regarding copyright notices that need to be updated. You know the ones – the small snippet of text usually at the bottom of websites. But do [...]

On Business Plans
How do you know what is going to happen in 3 years time? How do you know what’s going to happen in 1 years time. What new technologies will be available, what will the dollar be worth? These are pointless questions, that can’t possibly be answered unless you have a time machine. Yet those are [...]

The Art of Concentrating
We suck at concentrating. Somewhere along the line, we forgot how to sit still and do nothing else but focus on our thoughts. We’re addicted. We need some sort of device within arm’s reach. Without it, we’re lost – god forbid we actually may need to process our thoughts. We’re amazing consumers of information. We [...]
