Last month (April) I celebrated the passing of another year in my life, and to celebrate my wife bought me one of these devices, an iPod Touch. Up until that point, I was never really a big fan of the devices. I'm generally not one to give into the hype, but as many of my clients love new technology (which is generally why I stay in business) I find myself having to keep up with the latest and...

Want to make your living space even more appealing and appear larger in a really easy way? Add the magic of mirrors! Mirrors have been a strong design element ever since they were first invented.

Don't let the half-truth that mobiles depreciate in value keep you from investing in them. They lose value in a park, on a rented lot, but not on real estate. My first home was a mobile, bought for $19,000 and sold for $45,000 fourteen years later. House rentals here usually have negative cash flow, while mobile home rentals have some cash flow. Still, investors prefer houses, believing they'll build equity faster...

A lot of musicians have started their recording careers from simple beginnings, ie, recording in their basements, a spare room or a friend's garage. This is because recording in a professional studio is very costly, and since it will take a long time to perfect that particular cut, recording costs will just be too much.
