Posted on June 24, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I really do need to ask this question.  I appreciate my followers and yes, they’re a loyal bunch.  I do need to EVERYBODY one question and everyone on the Internet. We all go about our lives.  We see the homeless person at the exit ramp, on the sidewalk, etc.  Granted a lot of them are…

I guess this is a call out for help

I’m at the point where I can’t support this blog due to the traffic I’m getting.  I really need some donations or something.  I’m pushing about 5 GB of data a day and due to my divorce, I can’t afford to support this continually. I’m not asking for donations, although, they would help, but I…

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Percy Kwong

The architects and managers of our great nation have spent the last few years telling us the economy is getting better, but yet there was an unexpected jump in unemployment? This is supposed to give me confidence in our leadership? I don’t blame any one political group; I am just.. disappointed. Rather than invest in…

The holy grail of business.
