Disability Insurance - Do I need it?

Your career is a direct result of hard work and a substantial investment of time and money. Doesn’t it make sense to fully protect it? A disability could render you helpless by taking away the one thing that you need to safeguard all of your assets: your income.

High Growth Rate in Vietnam

While the United States government has been slow to let go of the animosity towards Vietnam that was present after the US lost the Vietnam War, the Vietnamese have not let that stop them from gradually developing what is now one of the fastest growing economies in Asia. The growth rate for 2006 is expected to be at about the 8% mark which would put Vietnam just behind China and India in the world growth rate race.

SearchBigDaddy is After Myspace and YouTube

SearchBigDaddy started out a few months ago as a PPC search engine with an innovative twist. Instead of paying BigDaddy for searches BigDaddy paid you in PPC credits every time that you searched on their portal.

Even better as you receive your own search portal and $50 in free PPC credits just for signing up you get paid for searching on your own search portal. Very cool.

After a successful launch BigDaddy is now going into hyper drive. BigDaddy has just launched a Myspace like friends feature that has all their bells and whistles. In addition, it has launched a video platform designed to compete with YouTube.

Wealth Transfer - Are Your Investments Secure?

The greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the world is gaining speed and effects everyone in the developed world who lives in over consuming nations. Yet we hear little about it from the entertainer celebrity TV talking head so called “experts” or politicians.

My Expatriate Life and the Internet - Part Two

In my previous article Part 1 I gave a little bit of background explaining why I was so open to living a life as an expatriate. Believe me, an expatriate lifestyle is not for everyone. While there are many attractions if you are of the right mindset as with most things in life there are considerable drawbacks as well. I’ll try to made you aware of some of the advantages and disadvantages as we move along.

The latest chapter in my expatriate life came about due to a medical crisis (not my own) and a few years later a financial crisis (altogether mine).

Britney Spears Hot on Technorati

In a recent post commenting on the sad state of the lack of statesmen in todays world I asked “How can a reasonability educated public elect such morally bankrupt people to high office? That is a topic we shall discuss in future blogs. If you have any good ideas on this topic feel free to pass them along.”

The entire post is Pitiful Politicians and Their Culture of Fear.

Today in looking at the top searches on Technorati the answer to that question became all too painfully clear. Britney Spears with her “exposure” incident has managed to grab three of the top ten search spots.

My Expatriate Life and the Internet - Part 1

I became hooked and attracted to living in lands other than the United States as a very young man. My stepfather was in the US Air Force and stationed in Japan during the Korean War. In 1953 my mother bravely packed up three young kids and joined him in a country still very much under US military occupation.

I still vividly remember the foreign sights, sounds, crowds, and smells of a Japan that has long since vanished in it’s post war rush to modernization and industrialization. The family stayed in Japan for 18 months. I can still almost smell the cherry blossoms in the spring and the charcoal cooking and heating fires in winter.
