I spent a few hours yesterday assembling a fun KITTENS VIDEO to go on this “Feral Cats Project“ crowdfunding campaign. Made some final changes to the campaign description, the goal, the layout etc. I’ve done my market testing to be sure I have a few friends that want to contribute. (Hey, we even received an actual donation to […]

I’ve been slowly working my way through “Capital in the 21st Century“ by Thomas Piketty. It is fascinating! Some of the earliest data for his research comes from novels that described economics in the 18th and 19th centuries — like Jane Austen’s “Pride and Predjudice,” and “Sense and Sensibility.” Capital in those days was LAND. […]

I see a little Macallan in you. A certain playfulness and charm, a bemused puzzlement, a need to stretch and shy away, a mix of sugar and salt. This is Macallan I see in you. Where you are orange, I am white. Where you are looking down, I am looking up. When the back door […]

IT’S A FEW DAYS PAST HALLOWEEN here at Tame Bear Central and by now everyone should be out of costume, back to work and doing everything to shake off a bad sugar jones. But there’s one lone zombie out there in the woods with enough juice flowing in it’s veins to stay upright and keep walking. ZOMBIE IN […]

THIS MORNING I heard Iris Dement’s sweet nostalgic song “Our Town” on Prairie Home Companion. Hearing that song brought to mind a flood of memories surrounding the final episode of Northern Exposure, a popular TV show that ran for about 6 years from 1990 to 1995. At the time, Treesh and I were living on Vashon Island in Puget […]

  To promote anything you need visitors. Traffic — lots of traffic. The easiest way to get lots of free traffic fast is with mutual Traffic Exchanges (TEs). The basic idea of traffic exchanges is this: You show me your ad and I show you mine. You can sign up with any TE for free […]

March 18, 2014: TimTech SOLD NerdBux. It was TimTech’s first foray into PTC ownership after a series of impressive business successes, starting with the I Love Hits, StartXchange, and Sweeva triumvirate of traffic exchanges, and the ongoing success of the video training program and downline builder, Click-Track-Profit. These are all excellent programs I use every […]

I read Seth Godin’s essay earlier today on “Are you an elite?,” and it got me wondering about one word that I couldn’t quite splice into the story’s meaning. That word was shipping. Because it puzzled me, I sent out this tweet… One item in Seth Godin’s essay “Are you an elite?” strikes a dissonant […]

When the hubbub finally settles, and all the remaining web site glitches have been ironed out, and society at large has grown tired of the dull critique from politicians on the sidelines, and the roll-out of “ObamaCare” becomes a done deal across the land, then some 33 million Americans who have not previously had access to […]

Isn’t it interesting, corresponding with the Congressional Blockade and Government Shutdown, there is a similar suppression and shutdown of government web sites that normally disseminate government information to the public. Specifically, over at nasa.gov where astronomical and space news is normally ongoing; that web site is shuttered. I noticed one brief mention in TheDenverChannel.com story […]
