    How your skills can be used for ANYTHING.

    IDEA 
    I'm doing a Great American Teach In. YAy! My topic for the kids will be something along the lines of "Using Your Skills to Build Assets." It doesn't really matter what kind of assets, though I'll mostly talk about "businesses." I keep thinking about this... skills and assets. I really like...

    MEETUPS 
    I'll be traveling in the area(s) in July... if anyone is in those parts and wants to meet up, send me a message or reply.

    Link scanning for content sites

    After some pathetic troglodyte swiped a "suicide help" post from reddit and posted it in this forum, I'm kind of fuming. I admit they got me... I tried to post something helpful, but I was writing to a link-building flunky, probably offshore in a cubicle-center, or maybe a post bot. The WHOLE...

    R&D Tax Credits

    TAXES | REGS 
    I just want to bring up this topic. Right now I am developing new products, as some of you know. It turns out, I'm eligible for significant tax credits for research and development (basically 10,000's of free money that the G man can't swipe from me because the tax code says so... as long as I...

    Grounding - I was shocked!

    HEALTH 
    Heh, get it? Anyway, this is one of those things I would have completely ignored as a concept. The idea that "grounding" or connecting to the planet electrically would have any measurable health effect. But apparently it does, and it appears to be pretty big. I first came across this journal...

    Risk and cost

    This is conceptual, but I think it holds true in a lot of ways. Risk vs reward gets talked about, but I think risk vs cost is interesting too. Risk and cost are pinned to each other in the middle like a see-saw. If the risk goes up, the cost goes down. If the cost goes up, the risk goes down...

    Killed by yellow jackets

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    That title could have been me, yesterday. It turns out there is a yellow jacket nest in my yard that is at least 4 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet. I mowed part of that nest yesterday, on a riding mower. A cloud of thousands of yellow jackets was quickly on me. The sound of the mower was drowned out...

    I expected drug cartels to get PPP/EIDL funds but...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have to tell you, I totally expected the disaster funds to go to crooks in significant amounts. Drug cartels, white collar fraudsters, secret side corporations owned by bankers, SBA employees, or government workers... or their nephews or whatever. But hedge fund managers is the amusing story...

    Need help, support, or just a morale boost?

    Hey folks, I just wanted to say, if you're struggling with the C0VlD-19 stuff and not sure what to do, I'm willing to help anyone who is trying to maintain their business and assets. I know this thing is hitting some people disproportionately hard. To my surprise, it hasn't majorly impacted me...

    Asinine reasons your time should be FREE b/c C0VlD-19

    PEOPLE RANT 
    I'm sure it's not just me who gets these. Even when we're not in a worldwide pandemic, I get a certain number of troglodytes who want my products and services for FREE (note all caps because FREE is never spelled lower case apparently). But now they have a whole new set of reasons, and it seems...

    Anyone learning something useful in quarantine?

    HOT! 
    All that restless energy is begging for an outlet. If you're already doing as much as you can/should/need-to do in a day for your business, how about courses? Or learning a new skill? There are lots of free courses on EdX. I'm interested in more sophisticated financing, and biotech, so I'm doing...

    Could FFCRA crush small and medium business?

    The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) has quite a few parts. The part that got me thinking is the DOL's poster of employee rights under the act. We're all apparently required by law to supply this poster to employees, including remote workers. All of the costs appear to be borne by...

    County interest free loans for affected small businesses

    My county, Hillsborough County, FL just announced they are issuing interest-free bridge loans up to $50,000 for businesses affected by coronavirus. You might want to check your own county, state, city, etc., for similar programs.

    Are you actually positioned to help?

    RANT 
    I keep seeing stuff about "maybe I should do this thing that helps with coronavirus." And if it was a hurricane, murder spree, earthquake, godzilla attack, or flash fire, I might expect to see similar things. Here's the problem. If that's your starting point, but you don't have any skills...

    Actions follow concepts

    How's that for an abstract title? Sorry! If you're a philosopher, follow along. If you hate abstract ideas, please avoid burning my house down in frustration. I want to start by saying that people can say things, and people can do things. What they say does not always match what they do. Do you...

    Private investment thread

    INVESTING 
    I've seen plenty of posts about investing/speculating in public markets, which I also do. For example, public stock markets, options, futures, etc. Does anyone also invest in private offerings? Generally, these are the investments where you have to prove "accredited investor" status in order to...

    Quality training materials, courses, outlines

    There must be companies that sell actual, good content for online courses, corporate training, etc. But if they exist they are really hard to find. What's easy to find is garbage "plr" content about making money online or dating for shy people. Or "white label LMS" vaporware that supposedly...

    Customer Delight

    PEOPLE 
    This morning I went to a "Four Points By Sheraton" because I had time to kill between dropping my daughter off at school, and attending a non-profit board meeting next door to the hotel. I got the breakfast buffet and coffee. The buffet was $14 which is probably high, but what else do you do...

    Are any fastlaners MSPs or cyber security consultants?

    If any forum members are managed service providers (MSPs), cyber security consultants, or related IT professions, I would love talk to you about a product I'm developing. Mainly, does it solve problems you and your clients care about, and am I talking about it in terms that sound interesting to...

    Watch for this fraud on Upwork

    PEOPLE 
    I wanted to document something we discovered recently. You probably already know that if you post a job on upwork for software developers, you'll get plenty of bozo applications. However, there are also some honest to goodness frauds, and they tend to follow two patterns. Here's what they do...
