Just so you know, like Ecclesiastes and the Byrds said, for everything there is a season and a time. There is a time to live and a time to die. A time to sow and a time to reap. A time to buy an investment and a time to sell it. And, based on a tear-down 60 year old house…

How to Rotate Permanently All Pages in PDF Using Ubuntu
If you are too busy to read all my blog articles (say it ain’t so, mama) then you may have missed this nugget of helpfulness. How often does the realtor or lawyer or such fabulous professional need to slap a confidential stamp on a doc? However, today I was sent a confidential document that was lying on its side when…
Seriously Moving Artwork for Our Generation
It’s very rare that I’m moved by art, to be frank. I’m kind of pragmatic and busy. But this link crossed my path and stopped me in my tracks. Steve Cutts, whoever this guy is – is simply amazing. Take a look at each piece of art. Just let each one sink in and I’m convinced you might start to…
What is an Entrepreneur and Can We Turn it Off?
What exactly is an entrepreneur and is it possible to turn the switch off? I’ll answer the second question first: No. You can’t. You might drop the ball for a long time but you’ll die unsatisfied if you forever stop action towards building something. Now that we got that out of the way, what is an entrepreneur? My friend sent…
Who is Bad: Ashley Madison, the Hackers, or the Clients?
Answer: All three. Ashley Madison built their empire on the nasty foundation of encouraging the destruction of marriages, their clients took the bait like Adam and Eve, and the hackers trespassed. But Jesus died for all of them. What matters most in this story is the theme of internet security. This article covers most of the key points if you…
Building the ubuntu Brand
“I run Mac Unix.” “I run Windows Dos” “I run ubuntu Linux” “I run a Ford carburator.” “I run Android Linux” What the heck? Come again? None of these sentences should be occurring because these sentences contain significant branding and social fails. But we are all a little under-educated, so I’m going to go easy on you because many people…
Ubuntu becomes IBM’s Go-To OS for Mainframes
As reported here by Randall Ross it is official that IBM has chosen Ubuntu to run their mainframes. You might have heard fanatics like me talking about Ubuntu and how great it is but you’ve been too caught up with your current operating system. The reason why you haven’t changed your OS to ubuntu, by the way, is because of…
Who is Spying on your Children?
Spying on my children!!? That’s NUTS! That’s SICK! But it’s happening. Right now. And you are letting it happen either because you are unaware or because you are lazy, or both. I don’t want to be harsh on you but I just can’t find a better way to say it. Your non-chalent attitude towards protecting your digital life could cost…
Google’s New Daddy Alphabet and Why You Should Care
Whether you are a conspiracy theory buff or not, it’s probably a safe bet to say that you think Google is a big and powerful global company that has the potential to do some ‘serious stuff’ if they wanted. Well, today marks a new day in history when you might want to amplify your efforts to withdraw from their ever-reaching…
HAHA While I LOL in Your General Direction
Finally useful information from the Facial Literature company. The first time I saw ‘lol’ it was from a grown male and I was very sure it was an abbreviation for ‘lots of love’. It was quite bothersome when he did it a few times during a seemingly normal conversation. I later found out it means ‘laugh out loud’ or something.…
