This is a Canadian show titled “Marketplace” where they act as a consumer advocate for people who have issues with companies. I didn’t realize Best Buy had a marketplace with 3rd party sellers… I’ve seen that they offered refurbished units, but like the all of the people interviewed, it wasn’t clear it wasn’t actually sold…
I LOVE 5G – I’m Getting Unbelievable Speeds
I’m really liking 5G, this is why it will be a game changer in the years to come… The lowest it’s been so far is 44…. I remember fantasizing as a kid running my bbs from a cell phone, as they called it then. My grandparents didnt like the idea of having a 2nd phone…
I Just Read “Zillow’s home-buying debacle shows how hard it is to use AI to value real estate”
I’m not at all surprised. I’m actually studying a similar algorithm but it’s also laced with problems. There are just some things that are difficult to quantify or problems that don’t appear until afterwards. Bots are common with forex, stocks and even crypto.. but I think we have a long way to go before we…
I Just Watched “Audrey Hepburn: Film and Fashion Icon | Full Documentary | Biography” on YouTube
I finished watching “Audrey Hepburn: Film and Fashion Icon’ a few hours ago… I didn’t realize she died in her 60’s in Jan 1993.. I must have gotten her mixed up with someone else. I also didn’t realize she was born in Belgium and was a British citizen. Near the end of the documentary, her…
I Just Watched “Amelia Earhart: Queen Of The Air | Full Documentary | Biography” on YouTube
I just finished watching this on YouTube. She was 39 when she disappeared… she was declared dead in absentia on Jan 5, 1941. I wonder what she would think of the world today… or even in the 40’s and 50’s… a lot was going on in those decades as well. Her sister was interviewed (she…
I Just Watched “World’s Longest Reigning Living Monarch | The Life Of Queen Elizabeth | Real Royalty” on YouTube
One of the people interviewed said the chances that Queen Elizabeth would be queen would be similar to Princess Beatrice becoming Queen today, it’s unlikely. She, nor her father for that matter, expected to become the King or Queen…. As we know, it wasn’t until his brother’s abdication that paved the way for Elizabeth to…
Information is Getting Expensive
Information of all kinds is getting more valuable and expensive by the day… But it’s still not too late to build your digital empire, or as I like to call it, your Digipire. https://youtube.com/shorts/7PlVXSytNEA?feature=share
I Just Watched “The Great Chicago Fire: A Chicago Stories Special Documentary” on YouTube
This is what I doing on a Friday night. Watching Documentaries…. 😀
I Just Watched “Escaping the Blitz” on YouTube
This is an oral history that was published last year in 2020… at least that was the date on the credits. I’m not entirely sure when these interviews were done, since the Pandemic has been going on for almost two years. It was sad to hear some of the stories. The people in this oral…
Youtube VS Facebook Shorts – Why is there Such a Dramatic Difference in Views Between Platforms?
I posted a YouTube short video of a candle last night and it received over 400 views… I have very few subscribers on YouTube and this is the second time I’ve gotten a lot of views on a short version video… I need to study this… I posted the same video on my Facebook and…
I Just Watched “Berlin Wall Guards Tell Harrowing Tales Of East Germany | Our History” on YouTube
This was very interesting…. and also heart breaking at the same time. It came out in 1991, so not long after the wall had fallen. At the end, one of the guards thought he may have to eventually face charges from the West. One part that really touched me was a former guard who shot…
I Just Watched “The Tunnel” 1962 Full Documentary escape under the Berlin Wall” on YouTube
This is a documentary that chronicles three University students digging a tunnel underneath the Berlin Wall. It was financed by NBC. The students were given the equivalent of $150k for the exclusive rights to film them digging. It was hosted by Piers Anderton who was 44 years old at the time. He died 41 years…
Ceasars Palace, My Brothers and Domain Squatting
This may sound strange to some people; but I have always been fascinated with casinos, slot machine games and any form of gambling. This is strange because I am not a gambler in the traditional sense. Of course being an entrepreneur is considered by some a form of gambling, but to base a business move…
How to Make Sure Your Blog Lives Forever – Online
Life happens…. if you forget to renew a domain or your hosting goes unpaid (for a million different reasons) your voice, your work and your blog can go offline in an instant…. Most hosting companies will keep your data for a couple months, but after the time has elapsed your data disappears, vaporized….. That has…
Is coding windows software a viable business in the 2020’s?
One of the first ways I made money online was with software…. especially windows screensavers that I bundled in an .exe with pay per install ads and mass submitted to shareware directories…. Not only did I make sales from the Screensavers but I also got backlinks for my websites, which I placed cpa offers and…
I Just Watched “Aeroméxico Flight 498 Crashes In California After Mid-Air Collision | Mayday | Wonder” on YouTube
I’ve always had dreams of witnessing an airplane crash from a distance. I remember worrying about the people on board and those on the ground. I also remember worrying about being hit by flying debris. It’s strange, because my dream (actually a nightmare) is just like what the lady witnessed in this reenactment. Very very…
I Just Watched “Park Avenue: Money, Power and the American Dream⎜WHY POVERTY?⎜(Documentary)” on YouTube
This documentary starts off with comparing the wealthy Park Ave with the part across the river, which isn’t as fortunate. The difference is astonishing. It then goes on to explain the differences as a result of a rigged, unfair economic system. They do this with the game of Monopoly. Players in the traditional game all…
