4 Tips to Plan Your Online Course
by
One of the best things I did for my business in the last few years was to produce online courses. These few online courses increased my revenue by 4x over just going with basic AdSense on Youtube. In today’s video I’m going to talk about the first step in getting your online course off the…
Stopping Selective Memory – You’re Not A Hero
by
In The Shock Doctrine – The Rise of Disaster Capitalism Naomi Klein points out that Jeffery Sachs has a selective memory about his role in Russia’s economic meltdown and corruption after the collapse of the Soviet Union1. He remembers his contributions as all good, and he was stymied by the IMF and other organizations in…
What about Lefties Lenovo?
by
Okay this laptop does look neat and I love to see innovation but what about left handed people? It’s setup so you can use the stylus on the right side, but that doesn’t work for me and for many others. I don’t see the option listed, but I hope you can order it with the…
Smartphones May Decrease Accessibility
by
Getting back home to Spain required a Covid form with a QR code. The airline employee at the Newark check-in counter seemed baffled by my not having a smartphone and told me in a conclusive tone that the QR-coded form is required, despite my proof of vaccination.

The Color of Law in Real Life – Housing Pricing Racism

I recently talked about The Color of Law and today someone pointed out the real effects of racial discrimination in housing by sharing the video below in my Discord Channel.

But I found that 80% of the paper I scanned I never looked at again, even years later.…

We’re so busy today that the only time we don’t have some podcast playing, or music,…
Not Excited about the iPad Anymore
by
Matt has a good video questioning the excitement around the iPad now. I’ve moved to Final Cut Pro from LumaFusion recently so my iPad usage has dropped in the last 3 months. If Final Cut and all the assets were available on iPad then I’d be using my iPad still instead of macOS. I still…
Matt on The Dunning-Kruger Effect
by
Social media especially convinces everyone that they are an expert in a subject immediately. It’s amazing how I follow the same people, but that group is an expert in the auto industry when there are Apple car rumors, epidemiologists when there’s a public health crisis, and a payments expert when there’s App Store rule news.…
Unpopular Economic Policy is Enforced with Violence
by
I was recently reading The Shock Doctrine – The Rise of Disaster Capitalism and it said that when your economic policy is highly unpopular with the middle and lower income brackets of society the only enforcement you can do is via violence. Unlike the wealthy they only recourse they have is to strike and demonstrate…
