If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Check it out in the lower right. I try to keep the blogroll short and relevant to this site. I also try to keep it somewhat representative of the blogs I actually read on a daily basis (hence blogroll). [...]
The life and death of a blogger
I just went through my RSS reader which I admit that I rarely use and noticed that many good blogs which I used to read are now defunct. Through my tenure as a blogger, I have also noticed that readers have come and gone. Perhaps the blogosphere is indeed like an eco-system where blogs live [...]
Are pro-bloggers like professors?
I see bloggers falling into three categories.
Pro-bloggers are like professors in that they are they bearers of the current culture. In particular they carry the knowledge that does not get written down in books and they try to impart both book knowledge and their experience on their students (here readers). Pro-bloggers often repeat themselves just [...]
If this blog was a newsletter, would you pay for it?
Due to a quick(*) spell of illusions of grandeur I wanted to ask you quick question: If I started writing a monthly newsletter of about 10-20 printed pages and you got it delivered by mail (or pdf for you kindle people), would you pay for it and if so, how much?
(*) Well, not really [...]
You are not irreplaceable
According to google I am now the second highest ranked authority on extreme early retirement. I suppose this comes about because I have a “google ranking” of 4 which again comes about because I have yet to bother with monetizing this site as it would require advertising it in the local paper for 4 weeks [...]
New schedule
In order to keep the content interesting and novel, I’ll be moving from a 5+1 posts a week to a more or less random schedule. Ahh, the luxury of a noncommercial blog
Quo vadis?
In many ways I consider the problem of early retirement solved. I [think I] have shown what kind of choices that must be made, how to make them, and what it takes to reach financial independence in a handful of years. Following that, anyone can either accept or reject the conditions.
It was never my [...]
Saturday Roundup - One day late edition
I can manipulate the date on posts, so this was actually written tomorrow. Similarly, most posts around here are not written on weekdays between 7 and 8 am but rather on day before between 5 and 7 pm. Sometimes (especially Sundays) I write several posts and space them out. Very many bloggers do that. This [...]
Saturday Roundup - 500 subscribers in 4 months
According to feedburner, there are now more than 500 people who regularly read my staggering thoughts of genius what I write. I don’t know exactly how feedburner counts, but in the past few days the subscriber number has really taken off adding over 100 new subscribers in a week. I don’t know why, because I’m [...]
How to do original research
I have a confession to make. I write a personal finance blog, but I rarely read other personal finance blogs. There is a reason for that. Here is the reason. I find that once anyone get actively involved in any community, they will start to (subconsciously) adopt the thinking modes of the community almost like [...]
