Quest for Financial Freedom

Feb 11th, 2008

I like quests. Quest is nothing more then setting a goal and trying to achieve it. And everyone needs goals if they want to develop themselves through the life. But why financial freedom? And what is it? I define financial freedom as a state when you do not have to worry anymore about survival and basic needs. This means that even if you did nothing whatsoever the bills will be payed, the rent covered and you will still have the money to buy clothes, send your kids to school and go to vacation.

Ever since I released my wordpress theme Amazing Grace, I have been getting lot of requests to publish what wordpress plugins do I use. It seems to be popular to publish your favorite plugins as always someone can find something new and useful. I use quite a lot of them but most of them are not visible and work "under the hood" enhancing WordPress functionalities. So here are they in alphabet order.

Rogue Post From New Mexico

Feb 2nd, 2008

I am honored to present you my friend, mr. Stephen Miller. Stephen and I met couple of months ago thanks to the wonders of Internet and exchanged similar thoughts and views on things. I would describe Stephen as a modern day Robinson Crusoe but I'll let him best introduce himself. Hello friends, my name is Stephen Miller, and I am a rogue intellectual in exile at the moment in New Mexico, doing websites, writing, editorial work, graphics, and music.

Soaring your way to freedom

Feb 1st, 2008

Ever since a little kid I was fascinated with flying. Everything related with airplanes was a source of great inspiration for me for many years. Finally in year 2004 I have enlisted in UTVA Flying School for glider pilot training. I took a first step to my dream and this is a story about it. Soaring is a sport in which you pilot a light aircraft known as glider or sailplane.

Sensible movie recommendations

Jan 28th, 2008

When I was a kid, good movies were in abundance. A lot less of movies were made and the stories ran at a much slower pace. In turn they induced much more emotion than today's movies, which try to achieve that wrongly with special effects and shocking stories. I do not know what happened over the years, did I just get older or the world is not as creative as it once been. So I decided to dedicate a page here that I will fill over time with great movies, I feel are enriching the world.
