Take Control of Your TV!

Take Control of Your TV!

The other day I did something radical.

I disconnected my TV from the wall socket. The cable TV wall socket that is.

I’ve been kind of “anti-TV” for some time. I never watch much of it. Mostly I just use my TV screen to watch stuff I’ve downloaded from the net.

Why I Hate Lifestyle Design

Lifestyle design. Everyone’s at it – or so it seems. Live the rockstar lifestyle. Become a digital nomad. Find the way to location independence. Learn the secrets of geo-arbitrage.  The lifestyle design thing seems to have taken off in recent years. Was it Tim Ferriss who popularized the term? I don’t know for sure, but [...]

BreakingOut.NET Has Adopted charity:water

BreakingOut.NET has just adopted a charity

I decided that it’s time I did more than just building my own business and media activities.

Maybe like many people, I’ve tended to regard charity as something I just do “now and then” or when cajoled into it by others.
