This is not the first time when I read with great pleasure, Neil Patel's advice. I have to say that lately, we are more and more on the same wavelength. I found myself a lot of tricks, and I applied also what I've seen here and there. I met unfortunately a lot of cheap advice, or even devious. Cheap advice is the bunch of e-mails you're going to fill your inbox with, if you subscribe to "Pamela and Wendy's Tips" to set up a Wordpress Blog, a pitch to sell you a very expensive "Site Setup Kit". … [Read more...]

New Media Award?
This is confusing. Remember maybe my statement almost two years ago, "It is not enough", an homage as I saw it, to Julian Assange, Wikileaks founder. He was freed on bail, after nine days of detention for questioning over alleged sex offenses. It was 2010. [source] I was duped as I wasn't by the "Arab Spring" or other mass arranged events. I was duped because I respected John Pilger who continue to sustain that Assange is a kind of angel of freedom. A controlled freedom, unfortunately. … [Read more...]
Cigar Smoking
There are rules in cigar smoking. One have to be a man to do it, as in, let's say, not a parrot, or a monkey. The following image is considered as the example of male potency, especially a cigar smoking potent male. [source] Unfortunately, who doesn't keep the cigar like Tony Montana, is not male enough. Not that if someone smokes like him, would be, but look at this other one, and think what happened with him. [source] Too relaxed, not keeping his cigar like Al Pacino, or … [Read more...]
4 Basic Rules
One rule is that nobody gives money for free. They have not been discovered overnight, by myself. I'm not original, the "rules" in bold fonts are not even altered. I just saw them in a blog post, in a blog I used to love, now struggling to just publish to keep its ranks high. I read the same thing every day, of how the guy is not actually selling anything with his blog but he inserts Amazon links in the articles to be productive, how he's going to debate this and that and sometimes he'll do … [Read more...]
The Namesake
It's a long time since I wanted to talk about this wonderful movie. Only a 7.4 imdb rate, this is one of the outstanding Mira Nair's creations. I think I'll review all of her movies, one by one, but not right now and not quite in order. This here is an adaptation with a screenplay masterfully transgressed on the screen by Sooni Taraporevala. The actors are perfectly chosen, the directing does full justice to Jhumpa Lahiri's novel. Kal Penn (as Gogol), Tabu (as Ashima), Irrfan Khan (as Ashoke), … [Read more...]
Google Plus
This is not a marketing guide. It's not even a guide. It's something I have noticed on the run. For me, Google Plus appeared in a moment I decided I don't need a "social site" any more. I had Twitter, I have experienced the sad adventure of myspace (that one was my all times favorite), I made even an account to the Social Network but my disappointment passed the thrill, beside that, I liked a little bit more discretion on the internet. Now this isn't a pledge against Facebook, who ever dug my … [Read more...]
