Fall is in full swing around my home and winter is coming fast. My wife and I are getting ready to move on December 1st. Yes, I know moving in winter is not the most practical thing to do but we promised ourselves we would move back to British Columbia as soon as we could. [...]

Well, September has been a burn out kind of month for me. With my wife’s birthday, our second wedding anniversary and our day job picking up again, there was more to do than I could handle. I wrote very little, in fact I wrote nothing for Bright Hub which was not what I wanted for [...]

When I first noticed the StockFresh ad in the right column of my facebook I was intrigued and when I read that StockFresh was from the creator of StockXpert I got excited!

I love December. There is something about the coming of Christmas that puts me in a good mood for most, if not all of the month. Despite my holiday spirit, this was a hard month for me. I spent December doing the same thing I have been doing for the past 3 months: trying to [...]
