College Advice

MESA (Math Engineering Science Achievement) put on an alumni luncheon last week for current college studetns. My colleague, Justin, and I presented some material and advice that someone may find helpful so I'm posting it here. Soon I'll have a site dedicated to educational tools that will hopefully be useful enough to teach and expedite learning.
BTW- I'm working on a documentary, also with the vision that it will change the way we pursue our passions...more as a lifestyle and less as a hobby.
Anyway, here's the college advice handout. ENJOY!

"Japanese get fat penguins to exercise"














Enjoy!

My first site

Well,
Thanks so to my very amazing computer scienctist friend, Justin, I've built my first site. Now it's crude (so don't clown) but I don't care becuase it's the first thing I've built CS wise since I was a freshman in college! DIG IT!?!

Tax savingss

This is a message froma friend regarding Tax Savings. Worth looking into.

For tax information, I recommend you get Sandy Botkin's book Lower Your Taxes Big Time.
Also, check out his web site http://www.taxreductioninstitute.com/. His CD series Tax Advantages for your Home based Business is excellent. If you can attend one of his workshops, it is well worth it. I saved over $4000 the first year I used his system.

I recommend the SOHO TaxSaver 3.1 to track your business. You can find it at http://www.alliancemarketing.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=browse&id=15497&pageid=76.

Sites to see...

eLance.com is as much a site for companies looking to outsource projects to independent contractors as it is for free agents looking for new projects. Think of this site as the matchmaker that even allows you to see how much different vendors are earning.

Y&S is a media and education company dedicated to giving young people the
critical tools, insights and strategies they need to succeed at an early age.
I receive a weekly newsletter from this site from which I learned about eLance.
