I just finished reading “Carrion Comfort” by Dan Simmons today. I really enjoyed it! This was a great recommendation from my rock climbing friend Max. It’s a fascinating horror story built around essentially a cabal of mind control vampires. The concept sounds cheesy, but the execution was really good. The big thing Mr. Simmons did in this book was to really bring the victims to life.… read more ““Carrion Comfort” Review”

Powerful New SEO Tool
I have built an incredibly powerful new SEO tool that brings high rankings quickly. I am beginning rolling it out to my customers. I am happy to talk to anyone interested in using it, but each person must sign my strict NDA.

Make Managers, Directors & Shareholders Liable
For many years, cigarette companies fraudulently hid evidence that smoking causes a myriad of health issues. Cigarette company managers directly hid the evidence their research teams found, cigarette company boards of directors knew and hid the same information.

The managers and directors received huge salaries and bonuses for many years and retired fat and happy.… read more “Make Managers, Directors & Shareholders Liable”
Tribe

Our modern society glorifies individualism and encourages isolation from others. Laurel and I’s closest family member is a 45 minute drive away and most are hours away. Our closest friend is 15 minutes away and most are much further.… read more “Tribe”

Inheritance Is Evil And Should Be Abolished
Estate taxes are the taxes the government places upon a person’s wealth after their death and before their decedents inherit it. I suggest that we increase estate taxes to 100%.

Why would someone like me who stands to gain significantly from lower estate taxes suggest abolishing inheritance and increasing estate taxes to 100%?… read more “Inheritance Is Evil And Should Be Abolished”
Hiring
I have had about 19,000 applicants apply to work at Coalition over the last year. About half of that number have taken my skills test. We have hired probably 70-80 people. I think we have one of the most stringent and effective recruiting processes of any company I have seen; certainly far superior to traditional outsourced recruiting.… read more “Hiring”
