Write What You Know.
2007-12-24 19:12:00 My wife, a writer for many years, tells me to follow the credo: Write what you know. Don’t blast off until you get a grasp of the facts surrounding the topic. Ha!

ideal absolutes

Exotic Gourmet Coffee
2007-12-16 03:20:00 Coffee Review says it all with the results of their blind taste test. Kenya AA Lenana from the roasters in Lancaster, PA wins wide acclaim. This delicious, fruity and a hint of chocolate bean is an amazing choice for discriminating coffee drinkers. I’m ordering some, actually… once I finish this review. Coffee has been around for over 1,000 years. The coffee “bean” is derived from the berries of a small bush. So they’re actually seeds which are roasted, ground, and brewed. Many of you grab whatever label o’caffeine first catches your eye when you gaze at the grocery store shelves. Others opt for more flavor or variety and will pay dearly for the opportunity to brew and consume distinctive beans with great flavor and aroma. For me — I am all about the taste of a good shot of espresso. When I want caffeine — a quick jolt of liquid glory — I turn to gourmet coffees with powerful flavors. One of my favorite moderate roasts is Cafe S... More About: Coffee , Gourmet

Satellite Internet
2007-12-09 00:49:00 Beyond the digital divide lies the “life experience” divide. I’ve seen this in folks, even those in supposedly professional roles. People with online access trump those without, plain and simple. Without Internet access — a group of people are more vulnerable to corrupt one-sided information sources. Around these parts, most would consider anything east of ... More About: Business , Economy , Reviews , Satellite

On the importance of business cards
2007-12-05 16:02:00 When I was a kid, my grandfather used to tell me something was “handier than pockets on a shirt.” The phrase stuck with me, obviously.

2007-12-03 02:39:00 December 1st begins the official count down to going pro. Numbers don’t lie. One year ago Text-Link-Ads offer $50 to place 4 words on my blog.

The holidays approach?
2007-11-27 18:20:00 As my family moves on toward the “It’s December, hence the workday lethargy increases” season, it pains me to realize television will not serve as a panacea for my entertainment ills.
