I find myself being obsessed with eBooks lately — probably because I’ve just entered the world. But while making my first steps, I keep discovering new and impressive feats.

If you’re a fervent reader and nerd like I am, you’ve probably encountered quite a lot of writing online. However, most of them are either absolute garbage or entirely illegal. It’s hard to find good, legal reads online – unless you know where to look. There are several sites that offer classic out-of-copyright writing, or [...]

One of the initial lessons I learned when the Internet first started becoming popular in the early 1990′s was that “entrepreneurs” are persistent, determined and often very annoying marketers at times. They will use any means necessary to get you to open your wallet and hand over some cash. I came across a number of [...]
