    This was very interesting…. and also heart breaking at the same time. It came out in 1991, so not long after the wall had fallen. At the end, one of the guards thought he may have to eventually face charges from the West. One part that really touched me was a former guard who…

    This is a documentary that chronicles three University students digging a tunnel underneath the Berlin Wall. It was financed by NBC. The students were given the equivalent of $150k for the exclusive rights to film them digging. It was hosted by Piers Anderton who was 44 years old at the time. He died 41…

  • Ceasars Palace, My Brothers and Domain Squatting

    This may sound strange to some people; but I have always been fascinated with casinos, slot machine games and any form of gambling. This is strange because I am not a gambler in the traditional sense. Of course being an entrepreneur is considered by some a form of gambling, but to base a business…

    Life happens…. if you forget to renew a domain or your hosting goes unpaid (for a million different reasons) your voice, your work and your blog can go offline in an instant…. Most hosting companies will keep your data for a couple months, but after the time has elapsed your data disappears, vaporized….. That…

  • Is coding windows software a viable business in the 2020’s?

    John Higginbotham

    One of the first ways I made money online was with software…. especially windows screensavers that I bundled in an .exe with pay per install ads and mass submitted to shareware directories…. Not only did I make sales from the Screensavers but I also got backlinks for my websites, which I placed cpa offers…

  • I Just Watched “Aeroméxico Flight 498 Crashes In California After Mid-Air Collision | Mayday | Wonder” on YouTube

    I’ve always had dreams of witnessing an airplane crash from a distance. I remember worrying about the people on board and those on the ground. I also remember worrying about being hit by flying debris. It’s strange, because my dream (actually a nightmare) is just like what the lady witnessed in this reenactment. Very…

  • I Just Watched “Park Avenue: Money, Power and the American Dream⎜WHY POVERTY?⎜(Documentary)” on YouTube

    This documentary starts off with comparing the wealthy Park Ave with the part across the river, which isn’t as fortunate. The difference is astonishing. It then goes on to explain the differences as a result of a rigged, unfair economic system. They do this with the game of Monopoly. Players in the traditional game…

    About 15 minutes into this documentary, they interviewed two sisters and their dad. The dad said they wish they wouldn’t flaunt their privilege on social media. He continued by saying “that’s their brand” He used the word brand several times. I thought that was interesting… everything is a brand now.. It’s nauseating to hear…

  • I Just Watched “SUBWAY – Life in America” on YouTube

    John Higginbotham

    This was very interesting and informative. I had no idea the origins of the Subway sandwich brand. I also did not realize they had been around since the 70s and was started by a seventeen-year-old who was financed by an investor who was helping him attend college.. For some reason, Subway is not doing…
