If you’re like me, you don’t get paycheques. Instead, you get cheques or cash from your clients whenever they want to pay you. The irregularity of the payment can be a bitch (like when a large company forgets to put it into accounting, and then it has to wait until the next week’s cheque-sending day) but overall I love the freedom and the thrill of being an entrepreneur (well, that sounds all fancy but I guess I’m more of a risk-taking freelancer, growing and striving every day to become a …

Canon has a good reputation for good printers, although I stick with my Lexmark P6250, which is cheap, versatile, and gives me great value. All I ever do is print out documentation I need to read so I can read it on the bicycle at the gym, or print out invoices.
However, if you did want a high-quality printer, here’s a chance, because my friend Broc is holding a contest on his blog where you can enter to win this prize! You have a 1/500 chance to win, which is a …

When I read through a magazine, I usually skim through it. I take a glance at this and that, read the bolder font here and there. When I find something catchy, then I’ll delve into the article. But even then, a lot of articles are skimmed over.
“In a recent survey, 3 out of 4 men answered that they feel vaguely uncomfortable when eating a banana in public.”

Some of you probably remember the last post I wrote about how my invoices from Telus Mobility has been getting steeper and steeper, and the flexibility was not there for me to adjust my plan. Somebody at Telus Mobility, however, read this blog (I saw some hits on my site from Google with the word “Telus” in it so one of those hits must have been them) and decided to give me a call. I got a call from a 514 area code which I believe is from Quebec City, …

I’ve already wrote several posts glorifying facebook.com (I love it so much from both a personal and a professional aspect). So far most of my posts about Facebook was about how well they marketed themselves, and how they are better than MySpace, Nexopia, and other competitors. Here are a few of them if you want a good read.

Facebook Toolbar for Firefox!!!
The Facebook Revolution using APIs
Why Facebook is better than MySpace

Today I would like to turn that table around, and explain to you the marketing value that Facebook can give to …

Maybe this makes me sound like some kind of a nazi or a communist bastard promoting some crap, but it’s really not. The truth is, whenever a friend of mine joined facebook and added me as a friend, I’d write on their walls, “Welcome to the Facebook Revolution!” And there is so much truth to that statement.
I already wrote a lengthy post about why the facebook user interface is so much more superior to that of MySpace or Nexopia or any other social community websites. And I also wrote a …

I have written so many posts on my opinions, experiments, and results on how to increase traffic over the last month or so. As much as I am a new blogger, I do believe that I know how to keep up a blog, increase traffic, and increase readership.
Here are my figures to prove it. January 9th, I started my blog. On January 10th, which was the first full day of traffic, I already recorded over 100 unique visitors. That average started climbing rather fast, as I implemented new methods of …
