This topic always comes up over and over again. Robots are replacing jobs! What's going to happen when automation takes over? We are seeing more and more unemployment due to technology repla...
I recently launched Playbetr, a free social gaming community that features casino games, a poker room, sports picks, eSports, dice and a vibrant community with chat, leaderboards and lots of...
I've been a businessman for well over 10 years and I've seen lots of different businesses and industries come and go. Through all of it I must say, the whole startup culture and way these co...
There's a quote Peter Thiel said a few years ago that has really stuck with me. If you don't know who Peter Thiel is, he's one of the co-founders of Paypal and one of the largest shareholder...
I've often wondered the best way to buy liabilities like homes or cars. Most people usually get loans for either of these. But is this smart? Conventional wisdom will say to just buy it cash...
Today the Dow Jones closed at 11,383. Gold closed at 1666. The ratio is now 6.83:1. Less than 7 ounces of gold can now buy a share in the Dow Jones....
In a world where stupidity and darkness reign it is comforting to know that I can still find solace in the fact that I can make money off of other's stupidity. And I don't mean this in a gre...
Here's something I thought about while waiting at a red light today. It seems in general society is geared towards the lowest common denominator. For the non-mathematical that means that soc...
There is a common misconception among many people between things that they own and things that they do not. We always hear about people buying new homes, buying new cars and on and on. We he...
The rich are always ahead of the poor and middle class. The rich aren't fooled and they make the rules.

Here is a little tip for most designers and artists out there: people do not notice the details, at least most people that is.
When I first started out building websites my favorite part ...
In my daily course of business I have recently come to the realization that sometimes value is too high for people. What do I mean by that? What I mean is that sometimes people don't want va...
I'm sick of hearing people complaining about the media. "The media is controlled", "The liberal media", "Fox News sucks", and on and on. People bash the media as if it owes them something, a...
