Bad AT&T

I could not agree more with today's NY Times article, A Text Arrives. Oh, It's Just an Idol Ad.

I've been an AT&T customer for a week now and up until this point I have been happy with the service. While "the network" Verizon preaches may be better, I have seen no real network problems.

However, if they continue to send me more unsolicited text messages advertising shows such as American Idol. I may have to go back to Verizon. Hold on. No way...can't do it. I tested the Blackberry Storm yesterday and the iPhone is so far ahead of any Verizon device that I would put up with A LOT of unsolicited text messages before I switched.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad 2.0

(From my IBM internal blog posted 30 July 2008)

I have a friend that is attempting to break into the real estate business with the Rich Dad, Poor Dad methodology. While I question the risk and tactics of such a strategy I did find the following article from yesterday's NYTimes very interesting.

I am not the guy to flip houses maybe I could flip some websites?

Find an Undervalued Asset. Fix It Up. Flip It. (Now It’s Web Sites, Not Houses)
