Following on my previous post. As we all now know, the current economic crisis is a crisis of confidence. Banks and markets simply don’t have confidence enough to lend each other money. The result is that regular folks like you and I find our options tightened.
In pursuing my muse, I have become somewhat dependent on [...]
DFHW: Living the 4-Hour Work Week
Living the optimized work weekLatest
Hi all. It certainly has been a while since I've last posted. That's because in many ways the 4HWW concept has been shot given the urgency of making ends meet and scrambling to get whatever dollars are left to spend. One of the most important things for a small business is cash flow. If you can manage your cash flow[...]

This is a very funky economic environment and everyone’s tightening their belts. If you have a 4HWW muse, then I hope it’s already providing returns. If you have ditched your job and are in the midst of making 4HWW progress, but haven’t gotten there yet, this is bound to be a tough time.

As I mentioned briefly in my previous rant on Craig’s List, I’m in the midst of remodeling my basement.

Has anyone else had this experience? I am in the midst of remodeling my basement (I’ll have a few posts on that subject, so sorry to bore you all if you don’t care). In the process, I had to get rid of a washer/dryer combo that was not going to [...]
Recently, I was musing about how some of my friends who were idealistic, can-do attitude type Democrats in their youth became jaded, self-interested, dogmatic Republicans in their aged years. I’m pretty apolitical as much as I am arelgious because I believe organized politics makes just as much (or little) sense as organized religion. After all, [...]
Did you notice? We have a new theme here at the DHFW site! In looking around for free Wordpress themes, I encountered lots of sites touting their top lists of WordPress themes.

Quick bit on Microsourcing (yes, still a tease)
It’s been a short while since my last post, but let me tell you why: I’m still trying to figure out how to make Microsourcing work. The key idea with microsourcing is that you should break up any outsourcing task into small chunks that can quickly be outsourced, [...]

UPDATE: Download is now available from the Wordpress.org Plug-In site. You can now download the plug-in at the Wordpress.org site!.
Like many WordPress users, I often have the need to segment my content for different user audiences. While plugins like Post Levels and Disclose Secret are good ways of hiding entire posts from users that don’t [...]
I’m going to start a new activity for this blog: brief synopses of books I’ve read or reading — some on topics relevant to the 4HWW and some on topics relevant to my MBA program. It will consist simply of the title of the book, a one paragraph summary of the main ideas, and three [...]
