The long road from idea to revenue

(Warning: May not make a lot of sense, also, don’t take personal) First things first: idea is nothing! it is simply that thing we all have in our heads, sometimes even have on paper and that we hope it/they will somehow turn us into multi-millionaires and build us an empire.

Traffic

Thus far, I have spent approximately 90 minutes in traffic every day of the last three days – don’t blame me for whining, I am used to driving against the general flow of traffic until this past Monday. As there are approximately 240 work days in a year, my projection for the next 12 months, […]

The cloud – Our new home?

I grew up around stories that the earth can no longer support man and we have to look for a new abode. Where? Where will man make his new home? I asked these and many other related questions many times and the usual and confusing answer – coming from mostly my pre-teen peers as confused […]

The King of the Jungle, at home
