I ask because a friend of mine collects wine. His collection is growing by the month. He imports wine and - get this - doesn’t drink it. He cellars it. And the other night he forced me along to a wine tasting […]

Bryan of OneMansGoal.com has reviewed me. It’s the first time I’ve paid for a review ($15 via PayPal, which seemed reasonable - especially compared with JohnChow.com’s $400!).
Why order a paid review?
Authority. Some sites will review you for free, but are unlikely to be as well-known as someone who charges. Bryan is a new blogger but […]

I was pleased just before to see that yesterday there were over 1,000 visitors to Rich Minx. That’s above average and mostly because my 7.5 Reasons I Abandoned You Today […]

Being back in New Zealand means it’s necessary for me to drive again. I’m currently in Auckland, the biggest city, and the public transport is terrible. Sorry, Auckland, but you know it’s true.

(What is it about the number 7? Apparently, 10 items is too many and with 5 we feel cheated. So I’ve found a happy medium with 7 and a half in this list.)

Well here it is, as rumored: my first video blog post. See below for the video, if you dare. I decided to talk about video blogging itself since I was learning how to do it. Man, it’s hard! My head looks huge and I’m sure I don’t really sound like that. But vanity aside, here’s […]
