My new book: Organize Your Kindle Book Titles in Excel

-



I just published my latest book: Organize Your Kindle Book Titles in Excel. It is a how-to book to load your Amazon titles in your Library into a spreadsheet. The techniques are simplified Extract and Transform methods, and there are some nice Excel tricks included.

Yeah, I don't know about everyone else, but I really like my spreadsheets. I also really like my e-books, now that I've moved into the twenty-first century. (Okay, I still like IRL books. They have a nice feel and my study is full of them, piled high and double-shelved.)

Amazon is my major provider of e-books, and I like how they give me the Library to manage my e-book titles. I can even add my own. I even send the books I buy in other places (like Humble Bundle) to my Amazon Library.

Now I can keep track of all of them in my spreadsheet. You can too. Go take a look at the book!

Why I cancelled The Bauman Letter

I signed up for The Bauman Letter, edited by Ted Bauman and read it for a few months. His father is a well-known member of The Sovereign Society and Ted contributed for years. I like Ted's writing style and read his letter for the nuggets of information I could glean. One month he recommended a company in Australia for holding my gold. If I had a hundred grand in gold, maybe I'd go that route. Then again, maybe I'd bury it in the back yard like the old Romans. I cancelled his newsletter after reading his October issue. Ted posted ten pages of glowing prose for the 1291 Group of the Americas . I was impressed by his report and thought this might be a company I could park my IRA with and not worry about it. (We've been burned by local investment advisors who lost large chunks of our investment and still took their overly fair share of fees, so we're hyper-cautious.) Ted especially praised Erika Nolan, the CEO of this prestigious firm. Ted forgot to menti

FBAR Scam, but not illegal

-

FBAR (not to be confused with FUBAR, but the one can lead to the other) is a government required Foreign Bank Account Reporting that you must file if you have one or more foreign bank accounts that total more than $10,000 in assets. It is another of the methods the USA uses to track illegal drug trafficking money. I won't comment on how effective it all is, but there is a sort-of scam you need to be aware of. Yeah, you didn't want to read all that. Here's the scam. If you google FBAR, the very first link reads: Fbar Filing - FinCEN Foreign Bank Accounts Form - eFileFBAR.com and links to www.efilefbar.com. Don't click it! It's a legitimate link and they ask you all the correct FBAR questions. When you finish, they want you to pay them $350 to file for you ! Go to the FREE Government Link The government web site asks exactly the same questions, in exactly the same order and then lets you file for  FREE  with the USA. So what the "efilefbar

Mister BoJangles

I l istened to Mister Bojangles by Bob Dylan the other day as I walked. I wanted to be him, to dance, leap so high and lightly touch down. The song continued and I realized I am his beloved companion, the dog. YOU, Darling, are Mr Bo Jangles. Dance, dear heart. Dance. Then lightly touch down. I love you forever.
