Custom hats

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

One of the things than I didn’t use is hats, because de regular hat comes with emblems, logotypes or ads in front of it and I don’t like the idea to makes myself and ad banner of any company. Probably someday we can see some hats with adsense on it, but until that day I don´t use hats.

But in the other hand I found this place where you can makes your own  Custom Hats, you just need to upload the file with the image, text or whatever you want to look on your hat and makes the payment, they send your hat at your home’s door in the next few days.

The idea by itself is not new, in fact in Quito, Ecuador as many places in the whole world you can find some of this stores in many Malls of the city, but the interesting of this idea is make all the process form you computer at home of office and just wait until they delivery at home, that isn´t new either you can make this kind of purchases with many products and I guess than this isn`t the first with hats, but for sure is the first than I know.

And if you´re think about the price, let me say than this is the regular price of one current hat 14.99 + shipment, of course if you need it in the next three business days the cost of it is more expensive than if you prefers wait 21 days using the slow delivery.

All about your money

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

Last night I was browsing the net and found a web site where you can get a lot of information about Credit Cards, Home Insurance Quotes, Car Insurance and other value information in relation with your money and how you can invest it, all of us know the importance of well investment of our money and of course get it the bank is a good option but in the market you can find a lot of other good options more interesting.

And if you’re thinking in this web site as the classic static site with tips about the money (of course they have tips to manage your personal finances and money) don’t do that because this is something like a directory and of course they offer all the info about many topics for free but for sure they must have an earnings system for offer all that info, probably they get a percentage in money of all the approved applied services by the common user of the site or something like that, but the thing is here you can find different offers to make more efficient your money, for example:

Credit cards: If you´re thinking in apply to a credit card using this web site you can decide for one of the four groups they have offering this service:

• 0% Balance Transfers
• 0% Introductory Rate on Purchases
• Cash back & Rewards
• Standard Interest Rate on Purchases

And in every group of it they have three or four different trade mark Credit Cards with special designed plans for you, so your work is just decide the type of card you prefer and take the decision for a plan than adjust to your needs.

The same thing happens with Loans, Mortgages, Savings, Insurance, Banking and Investing, but other special designed sections of the web site is the “FREE Money Saving Tips Email” a weekly email were you can find info about personal finance, shopping, traveling, utilities and services.

Planning my trip to New York this year.

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

Few weeks ago I was talking with a client about the idea to go to visit them in their headquarters located in New York mainly to visit their offices and of course visit some old friends who are living at working in there, but the other reason is give them a capitation in the use of Joomla, WordPress and Drupal applications, That’s the idea but we still in the negotiation process and that’s the reason why I decide start to find some offers about my travel in the next months.

So, today a good friend of mine told me about LowFares.com and the service that they offer to compare many companies who offer different deals to travel in or out USA, in fact I didn’t know if their offer other places to go around the world but I guess than of course offer the whole world in their packages.

In my case I just want to go to New York and I found very interesting offers starting form $300,oo of course I don´t want to make a trip like this one with several stops, so I decide to book an offer from American Airlines taking off from Quito, Ecuador and landing in JFK airport at New York, the cost at the dates who I think can I made the trip is just $ 400,oo USD.

Finally other options offered at LowFares.com are hotels and rentals but in my case I didn´t use them but if someone can use them and get good options please let us know, for sure someone can share their experiences whit us here at the comments.

MILF, Moro Islamic Liberation Front

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

milf, is one of those unfortunately names than never be use especially if you wants to try represents whit this one something really serious as the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

Today, someone told me a real terror story about the movement in Mindanao (Southern Philippines) and the neighboring islands and how their took part in terrorist attacks and assassinations to promote their ideas during the 60’s when they demand the formation of an independent Moro Islamic state and use the name of Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).

The MILF was formed in 1977 when Hashim Salamat, supported by ethnic Maguindanaos from Mindanao, and they try to have new vision of their ideas, a little bit more moderate and conciliatory approach toward the government.

I’m not sure about their actually ideas but at least their appears as rebel group, in fact the last year on July 12, 2007, Islamic militants in Basilan, southern Philippines killed 14 marines, beheading 10 of them, while 9 other marines were wounded and at least 4 rebels were killed. The fight took place as the marines were searching for kidnapped Italian priest, Fr. Giancarlo Bossi (June 10). An MILF spokesman later confirmed that some its members had been involved in the clash, despite the fact the MILF is currently engaged in peace talks with the government. Mohagher Iqbal, the chief negotiator for the MILF, denied that it was responsible for the beheadings or in priest’s abduction.

The kind of stories you don`t believe.

Every single day when I check my email account, I found at least one email with one of this subjects “buy viagra”, “viagra real people’s experiences” or “viagra cures” so I decide try to understand where this people make money with this email and their website so my first impression was they sold the blue pill online but when I visited their web site I can’t found any online order form so my next impression was they just talk or write in this case about Viagra, but I can´t understand where they makes money, in fact if you read some of their posts this looks like a real blog but with no ads, no banners or links to any pharmacy website just some stories, I´m not sure if this are real or not, so my final impression was.

This web site must be sponsored by Pfizer labs and the way that they used this one is just to create a trusting environment for the possible buyers of the blue pill, of course if you want to found the word Pfizer in the whole website or blog you can’t do that and of course I made a search of the domain name owner and I haven’t luck to found any results relations with Pfizer labs, so if someone have any clue about how they monetize this web site let us a comment because this is really interesting data to know.

Money online.

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

Last night I found this web site where under the name of “payday cash loans” you can get access to an online credit just filling some info about you in their application form, in fact the system is really simple to use but you need a minimal requirements to access to an online credit from Easy Online Payday Loan:

• Receive income regularly or stay employed.
• Earn $1000/month if you’re employed or $800/month if you get a fixed income.
• Finally have an active bank account.

That’s all you need, to gain access to online credit on Easy Online Payday Loan, but if you need more info please visit their web site, for sure they can help you with all of your questions.

Besides if you don´t have any idea of what is Payday Loan, let me explain you than a payday loan is a short-term loan to cover your spending needs. It is secured against your future paycheck. These loans have grown in popularity for years, and now this is the main tool of assistance to get you out of that sticky situation or get you that new luxury toy (iPhone, iPod touch, laptop, digital camera, video camera, etc).

Of course before of all please read carefully all the papers before press the Apply button, and remember ask everything as you need to be sure of your credit, because during the next months for sure you’re working very hard to pay that credit.

Sexiest geeks a new trend in bloggers.

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

Few months ago I found the Tasty Blog Snack, in fact when I read the first post of iJustine (Justine Ezarik) I´m not sure about what she does at work, later I learn than she is a freelance graphic/web designer & video editor, after of know that time to time I back to read hers blog watch videos or photos at flickr or read hers twitts at twitter.com and always I found something interesting to back once and again.

Today I found Mostly Lisa, the Lisa Bettany blog a photographer and video music producer located at Vancouver, Canada. In fact is my first time at hers blog so I can’t say nothing about hers post, but I can say she looks so cute and gorgeous and that’s the mainly reason to write this post.

The thing is, we are watching a new trend in female bloggers?, girls who love work with Mac, talks about web2.0, uses twitter, lastfm, facebook, and flickr without ask their boyfriends nothing about that? And of course always looks so cute as a model? I like that idea and I´m sure that thousands of men think in the same way like me, a sexiest girl is one who use a Mac as a work tool, and loves the internet but no uses hi5.

Cash Advance and Payday Loans Sites

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

This post is about a web site where you can review and rank cash advance and payday loans  web sites, in fact I´m sure than the idea is really good, a web site were the users of this kind of systems share information about the services offered by this companies and of course their experiences received when they apply to that credits. So the new users can read no official information about the experience from others when they used the service of payday loan or cash advance, and they have the certainly of read stories form another people like them living and having the same kind of problems, but the best of all is the help received by you if you’re planningget a credit of this of course from the experience of others users.

In my personal point of view I´m not really sure about the system used by the owners of the website TrustSourse.org to choose this five companies to be evaluated by the public, because for sure there out must be a lot of companies offering this kind of service and for sure a lot of them have another plus who makes the difference.

At this point I guess than the trustsourse.org is a web site with a large way to road after they wants transform in a reference web site in the world of this kind of credits and services.

Rarindra Prakarsa a photographer and photoshop artist

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

Via Tiny Bellows from Aesthetic Emotions and Photography blog, I found this very interesting portfolio of a photographer and Photoshop artist called Rarindra Prakarsa who is working out of Indonesia and shows us a great and rich work at Photo.net.

In fact as I can see every single image have the potential to pickup you to an imaginary world where all the elements have an special importance, rays of light, contrast, bright and colorfull nature are the components of this stories translated into photographs, besides Randira also works in B/W and I thinks this is the kind of pics with a big emotional load because just the light is the element who decides which part of the story shows to the public and of course which part no.
