Having operated a service business for almost three years, one of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that you can’t control your business results if you don’t know your business results.  I didn’t start with standard business software, preferring to create my own custom solutions as each need arose.  I built spreadsheets as I [...]

Busy busy week, will maybe post something Sunday.

Many young couples are told to wait to have children until they graduate from college and get good jobs and careers. Of course, this is the employment model of income, and assumes that children are liabilities which keep us from our work and earning money. In the tribal model of income, children [...]

Ecc 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
I have been on a deeper exploration of web design lately, and the deeper I get in my learning, the more deficiencies I see in [...]

I found a website that offers a number of html Bible downloads, in a variety of translations and versions. The idea is that you can download one to your computer, and then upload it to your website, and have a Bible on your website. Being a quintessential collector, I couldn’t resist giving it [...]

This article ties off the loose ends of the last two articles about taxes. In A Penny Saved… I looked at the tax implications of acquisitional consumerism versus apparent poverty, and noted that the more money we use, the more it costs us to use it. There are costs associated with acquiring the [...]

Before my switch to linux, my free bible software of choice was the so-called Online Bible (named before the Internet, and the name just stuck).  I loved using it because it had more features than most packages that cost money that I’ve seen, and it had a lot of add-on modules (I filled a CD [...]
