    Brilliant, thanks!

    QR codes in Oct 2023?

    MARKETING 
    I think I would duplicate my favorite landing page, which would be a unique URL. I would make SEO horrible, and would not link it. There would not be a reasonable reason for anyone to find it. Then, when I check google analytics, any visits to that page could be assumed to have come from the QR...

    QR codes in Oct 2023?

    MARKETING 
    A couple of years ago, I heard QR codes being mocked as an old-fashioned thing of the past. I think I am seeing a resurgence. Dunno. We are trying to decide if we should spend money advertising in a local print magazine, and we need a way to track the value of the ad spend. QR's directed to a...

    Is my business project a selfish idea, or am I seeing need/demand right?

    IDEA 
    A challenge I have noticed in life is that there are a number of challenges/obstacles for "better mouse traps." 1. The mouse trap must be significantly better than the best other one. 2. It is often expensive to educate an audience. (The Bernays Reader is awesome, but the examples there had...

    Setting up my roadmap.

    INTRO 
    Welcome! You certainly write well! :) As an old man, I am tempted to say that your goals are over-ambitious, but in truth I don't know the right amount of bitious. lol Reminds me of the Guy Clark (I am sure he is big in the UK) song, Trust Your Cape. Make it happen man!

    Rent Control

    INVESTING 
    As my wife and I age, we are looking for places to put capital that will produce somewhat passive income. We are most familiar with real estate, however I have an awful and worrisome itch of a concern. I worry that something like the following could happen, and I wonder how one might protect...

    Seeking Health Pool/Insurance - Actual experience?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    So, I am investigating changing from our current health insurance plan that costs over $18k a year for my wife and I, with a $10k deductible. I have heard great things about "pools" like "Christian Healthcare Ministries" but I am not a Christian and I won't lie on an application and say that I...

    Introduction: Quarter Life Crisis

    INTRO 
    Welcome! Free idea for an IT/Medical backgrounded human ... I came up with this over 20 years ago, "Doc Talk." A patient who is being seen is under stress, and at best comprehends 70% of what the doc tells them, then by the time they get home and tell their grandson in Milwaukie, they have...

    REAL ESTATE 
    My wife and I are closing in on our dream of not having to work. We have various investments and speculations and stores of value, however, we are now interested in adding REITs to our portfolio. Our research has not shown us much actionable information. We find many stockbroker types, many...

    My concern about REAL crypto

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    I would like to clarify the difference between "crypto" and "decentralized crypto." Crypto is not of much interest to me and only solves a tiny "problem."

    My concern about REAL crypto

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    When I say "real" crypto, I mean stuff like BTC, Monero etc. Meth and BTC currently both have value to some people, and this subjective value in the marketplace creates the "price." My concern is that in 5 years, once the central banks have their own centralized "cryptos" rolled out, both meth...

    MSM or Corporate Media?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I had often used the term Main Stream Media." Recently, in listening to Michael Malice, I have decided I am participating in "their" propaganda by using it. Michael challenges, "Are the ideas expressed mainstream? Of course not." 80% or more people generally agree about most stuff . THEY are...

    Is a .com domain a must?

    MARKETING 
    .com is best ... but ... nobody is coming to your site anyway until you drive them there, and how do you plan to drive them there? Yep, digitally with a clickable link. Therefore, you could have a horrible domain name if you have excellent marketing. If for example, you read Unscripted years...

    How many of us homeschool our children or plan to?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I applaud you! Thanks for either home-schooling or un-schooling your children! I hope your children are NOT obedient rule-followers, and that instead, they are brilliant little independent thinkers who create value and don't accept rulers! Schools are for fish, not awesome little kiddos! :)
