I Have a Dream...

I have a vision of someday creating a web portal.
In today's world, most wired people (if you're reading this, that's you) visit at least a dozen sites daily, sometimes hundreds. I honestly check ~50 sites before noon; I have 17 links at the top of my FireFox browser staring at me waiting to be molested. Of course, the most common reason for checking these sites is to be informed, whether it be local/national news, sports, blogs, Fark, and yes - even celebrity gossip, etc. And we all know how wildly popular Facebook and MySpace are. If I can just devise a way to combine the sites that my social network views online, and then create a way that recommends that material to me, I think that would be vanguard of Kanye capacity. It's one thing for someone to provide RSS feeds to their site, but to have only the information that matters to you is what sets it apart. Maybe Google's already working on this. Or maybe Mark Zuckerberg. If nobody is, I'd like to announce that this web portal R§ is patent pending. At any rate, we can all agree that the general intelligence of our society is directly related to how fluently we share information: printing press --> radio --> television --> internet. Think about it: annoucements, blogs, general news... all filtered and peer-rated before it rears its ugly head on my cell phone iPod! I'm giddy just thinking about 2006!
And oh yeah, welcome to my new blog.

Fishers Medals Again

In the bustling Nickel Plate District of Fishers, Indiana, Tracy Gritters can recall a time when things looked very different. “It was a two-lane road 17 years ago,” she said of the property around her boutique store, Gallery 116 , where she has sold locally made goods since 2002. “We were worried about Target coming to town.” The retail giant eventually did — it's located about an 11-minute walk from her store — but the city's expansion hasn’t been the scenario she feared. Fishers, which was named MONEY's Best Place to Live in 2017 , officially upgraded from a town to a city and swore in its first mayor on January 1, 2015. Mayor Scott Faddness is still in office, and in the years since his inauguration, the city itself has been transformed. The newly developed downtown area became the Nickel Plate District , now home to an outdoor amphitheatre, plenty of retail stores and restaurants, a brewery, luxury apartments, and a high-speed internet coworking sp

Roca de Durazno

Once upon a time there was a boy, and then that boy became a man, and that man had a dream: to retire peacefully.   In his quest to find a place of solace, there were many ups and possible downs.  Initially there had to be upfront capital, and then learning about surprise Central American taxes, overcoming a language barrier... while separated by thousands of miles.  Next he needed a support system: Angel investors. Lawyers for the accountants. And hoes in different area codes.  Finally, he put it to plan. Enter, F-I-R-E: Financial Independence, Retire Early.  Once that was in place, all that's needed from there was just a steady stream of execution.   Step by step, bit by bit, we went to work. Once the donkeys helped carve out rocks from the volcano, we laid the materials, built it up and after dressing it up, now we're in paradise, baby. First floor includes multi-unit bathrooms, electricity, warm showers and the best view in the world from the back porch - WiFi and kitchen
