It’s 2:28AM again and I am still blogging.  Yes, it’s a Saturday night and I am blogging!  (I know I am crazy about blogging but then, what else does a blogger do other than blog at 2:28AM on a Saturday?)

Anyways, I did a short video of how to build a brand that consumers will trust over at my .biz video.

The solution is pretty simple, that you use your common sense and “be honest”.

People like honest products, it’s as simple as that.  When customers trust your company, they will buy you

Network DIY – How to Choose the Right Network for Your iPhone or Palm Pre!

Posted on August 19, 2009 by max

PCWorld has recently conducted an unbiased data test for the 3 big cellular providers Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T.

The results are not shocking as AT&T had the most unreliable service, meaning you could get fast download speeds in your bathroom while you might even struggle to get connection while you drive.

On the bright side, Verizon and Sprint came out on top for reliability, which is probably the most important factor in choosing the fastest data network for your smartphone, iPhone, or P

Save Earth – Shopping Online is Greener for the Environment!

Posted on March 18, 2009 by max

It’s common sense that shopping online reduces CO2 and saves carbon footprint and it’s better for the environment.

Why?

Well, think of it this way, if every retail store shipped their products from one central warehouse location instead of hauling products to each and every retail store using pollution-causing big rig trucks, there would be a LOT of less gas spent of transportation.  (You can take a look at Keetsa, another example of online business that primarily relies on compact packaging and c

City DIY – How to Treat a Homeless Person!

Posted on March 10, 2009 by max

When I used to work near downtown San Francisco couple years back, I used to make friends with couple homeless people.  What I’ve found out during our friendship was probably more valuable than anything you could learn from Stanford or Harvard MBA.  (It’s true, the real secrets of life are learned outside school, outside the box.)

Anyways, I used to just hook up one of my homeless friends with food everyday and he would hook me up with some free stuff such as portable bluetooth headsets or anything I needed it, he knew everyone in the downtown area to get it for free or

One of my favorite books is “Click” by Bill Tancer, it’s a book about how millions of people are clicking and why it matters.  Of course, I’ve devised my own plans on how millions of people are clicking and how to make them click 2-3 times more.

Earphones can cause Hearing Loss!

Posted on October 12, 2008 by max

Well, recent study concludes that your iPod earphones can cause hearing loss.  Of course, I can admit to losing hearing over the last couple years while listening to my iPod and iPod Touch.  My wish is that there’s a successful class lawsuit against Apple so I can get some money.  I don’t mind the hearing loss that much but free money is always good.  Just be careful though, don’t listen to that rock and roll too loud, use your common sense.

The report said that those who listened for five hours a week at high-volume settings exposed themselves to more noise tha

DIY – How to Make Heat Blocking Curtains!

Posted on June 18, 2008 by max

This one’s pretty much common sense but still a really good idea on how to make heat blocking curtains using insulated materials.

To save electricity with our super expensive A/C, I constructed reflective curtains to block sunlight from warming our house. Think auto windshield. This is super simple and kind of obvious, but it works well.
