The posts haven’t been rolling like they used to. This is all due to working on a new project.
What’s this super secret project you speak of?
It’s called Snipsly.
Snipsly is an Adsense Revenue Sharing site. Much like the several dozen others out there. Users can submit content of their own and, if they have an adsense account, they can share in the revenue 80/20. Snipsly shows ads 20% of the time. The users show the other 80%.
It also works decently well for building backlinks. So, someone could go write an article and add in a link to their site. They are thereby creating more inbound links to their site and growing it’s Search Engine visibility.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the foreclosures are mounting. Is the picture relatively stable in the Dallas Fort Worth area? Yes, for the time being. But as much as I try to paint with rose-colored glasses here, the glass is not half full.
The United States is about to enter a period of inflation and recession. This will be a peak and valley roller-coaster beyond what we have experienced in the past. Real estate is no longer a solid asset (in the US at least). More importantly are commodities. Metals, like copper, and oil will define the best holdings of the age we are now embarking upon. As unsettling as it may seem the currency of the United States is losing its luster and will continue to do so. I don’t care to go into the particulars, but the dollar is a terrible asset. Stocks are not a decent alternative either.
I hate to sound so drab, but I have spent my entire life in commodities and I see the problems at hand. If you are a real estate agent you should probably consider making a switch while you can. Interest rates will soon (maybe 2 or 3 years) kill your business, similar to the phenomena of the 1980’s. If you work elsewhere and you are not worried about your job, you should probably begin to think otherwise. Unemployment isn’t going to be alleviated any time soon and you can rest assured that we are not going to have a quick recovery.
The paradigm is shifting. The government is spending to much money and the rest of the world no longer trusts our currency. The idea that you can continue to live your American suburban fantasy is only a fallacy. The world is simply changing.

I am not going to write anything today because I was up so late last night commenting on Pete’s blog (Cowtown Chronicles). A Pete Post is a rarity, but I try to read them when they come. Yesterday the topic was Joe Wilson, followed by a lot of capitalized words and a general malice toward all Republicans.
Anyway, I commented; a lot. So there is an aweful lot of text up there, but I would encourage anyone to read it. Pete never seems to respond to my comments, which is fine, but I feel like I put a lot of thought in there and would like to think that a few other people might read it.

Forbes created a list of the most stressful cities to live in. Luckily Fort Worth didn’t make the list. The criteria generally revolved around traffic, real estate prices, pollution and unemployment.
Here are some Texas Cities that did make the list.
- 40 - Austin
- 39 - San Antonio
- 36 - Dallas
- 32 - Houston
At Number 1 was Chicago.
