My Destiny – Part Deux

August 29, 2010

The last few weeks have been very busy both personally and professionally. I’m no longer working at Enquiro. It was part of a long realization that search marketing, while interesting, isn’t what I want to do, nor do I think it’s what I’m meant to do with my life. Working remotely since I got back [...]

I’ll be out of commission for the next week or so while we attend a friend’s wedding in Kelowna and enjoy a bit of vacation. I have to admit that I feel bad because there’s 4 great blog posts almost done in my drafts folder, and I haven’t managed to finish them. They’ll be published [...]

So this is actually really simple. Buy a $200,000 house today. Rent it out, making sure you’ve picked a house where the rent covers the expenses with a bit leftover. Wait 20-30 years. That’ll make me 50-60. You’ll have (at least) a $200,000 asset free and clear that you can sell, remortgage or light on [...]

This weekend’s marketing workshop was a resounding success. I had 6 fantastic individuals who brought a ton of questions, some great work they’ve already done and a willingness to be challenged, support the other students and learn as much as possible. It was drinking from the firehose of knowledge, but I think we kept it [...]

Megan and I took our long weekend and decided to hit the road to Cowtown and points south. Here’s a smattering of pictures from our trip and our visit to Heritage Park. Southbound! Spring means newly planted fields and lots of sky. It’s something that I missed when we lived in BC and Ireland. Me [...]

The EU appears to be in a tailspin thanks to Greece and the rest of the PIGS. Slightly sketchy balance sheets and a European Union who weren’t inclined to look too deeply into the application for membership have resulted in an organization that may have some issues in it’s fundamental stability.

I moved into a new house last weekend. I chose Shaw for phone, TV and internet for a variety of reasons, but primarily for the phone and internet as I work from home. Today the node that powers my neigbourhood went down, taking my phone and internet with it. Since all my work is online, this [...]
