Why I am not using FreshBooks

2008 at 3:30pm | by Dave

After calling to ask about theirĀ  service, I was informed that to get my client’s login customized […]

Am I the only one who misses old school Destiny’s Child jams?
Probably.
So anyway, I heard a radio commercial for YellowPages as I was driving tonight. The commercial was kind of funny, but their pitch was leaving a lot to be desired.
They basically said if you enter something like “iron curtain rods” in a search […]

I know, I know… I’m sounding like one of the Gurus that we’ve been lambasting here recently… but don’t worry, I’m not selling anything! Rather, I came across a blogger who I hadn’t heard of before - he goes by Jim Karter, but his name is Karamveer and he has someĀ  interesting things to say.

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that Jay and I run a small, fairly successful classified site network in Oakville, Mississauga and Burlington. We’ve been running them for years now, and in fact they were the first sites that Jay and I developed together.
For a long time, we’ve been […]

You may remember my post a while back about price fixing in canada and how it was holding me back from getting a Blackberry. Well… I caved :( BUT, I was able to finagle a great deal out of my provider and now I’m only being ripped off, not robbed blind.
Why I […]

Things are moving fast on my end these days, and within the next few days my next digital product will be ready for release.
While I don’t care to name the genre I am entering, I can say that all my research so far indicates that things should be a success… so far, all I have […]
