It’s been a nice day for me. Other than stepping outside my back door for a few minutes to catch a bit of sun, I haven’t had to leave the house today. While I haven’t been able to work on product development — the kids won’t leave me alone, and my “rule” is that they [...]

I just received this spam email which came from a Googlemail / Gmail address (it has been reported as a phishing attempt so I doubt if the account will be active much longer). What is most interesting is that I’ve never seen a mule recruitment ad like this before.
A “mule” is somebody who accepts funds [...]

Thanks, James. And why do people still complain about their choices?
Read this post if you complained about the way James did his Christmas gift. James wrote it about a year ago, just after the complaints about last year’s Christmas gift availability.
Be consistent. Tell the truth. That’s all James did.
Thanks,
Tom

…but I like what I see. Lots of useful stuff, and it looks like you actually “think before you link”.
Hope you don’t mind a poor little ol’ PR3 linking to your blog. At least it’s a “dofollow”; I don’t believe in that silly page rank leak stuff because it goes against the basic premise of [...]

I’ve been listening to the CD version of one of John Maxwell’s leadership books in the car lately. One point he makes is that many people fall victim to inaction because they wait for a “feeling” before doing anything. The problem is that the feelings needed to build a successful Internet-based business seldom come on [...]

Mike, I just received an email from you asking me to click on a link to verify that my email isn’t spam.
While I appreciate the fact that you signed up for my blog announcement list, I can’t click on that link. This blog makes me money, which makes it a commercial blog, so the emails [...]

I haven’t done a review of the spam in my spam folder lately and it seems like a good day to poke a bit of fun while (hopefully) helping you to better recognize it yourself and protect yourself from potential scams.
First off is an offer to enlarge something. Actually, it’s an offer to shrink my [...]

My contact form is gone. Go ahead; click on that link. You’ll be taken to the same URL where my contact form used to be, but the form won’t be there. Instead, you’ll find new instructions on how to contact me.
To save you, my blog readers, a bit of time, I’ll tell you what you [...]

James,
In response to your post about blog stats where you asked
what www.google.com/ig is:
It’s “Individual Google” (I think). It provides a way for Google
account holders to create a personal home page and compile RSS feeds.
For example, the RSS feed from your blog shows up on my IG page, so
between checking my IG page and your [...]
