Started the day out by listening to The Beatles – which usually sets the tempo for the rest of the day depending on what comes my way.

I’ve been reading about a lot of gadgets lately and am impressed with some of the things coming out. Many of the “why didn’t I think of that?” Or “It was only a matter of time before someone invented that or came up with that idea?” And again that is the case here.

Amazon has released Kindle, which not only allows you to carry hundreds of novels with you at any given time, it uses the same wireless technology as cellphones so there is no connecting fees to browse books online and purchase right from a couple of clicks on your Kindle. Which means you can be in the back of a taxi, or walking down a street and buy a book and have it auto-delivered in under a minute! Isn’t that amazing?

I know what you’re thinking, “why didn’t I think of that?” Well, that’s how good ideas come – from right under our noses.

The display looks like paper, you can flip through pages fast, and even bookmark, highlight sections save your place and much more. Between this gadget, and the latest MacBook – I know what I want for my birthday.

I’ve been reading this book Inc And Grow Rich trying to learn more about the incorporation process.

I needed to find a quick and easy to read book giving me the basics on pros and cons of different types of corporations and the benefits of incorporating. “Save yourself 70% in taxes and protect your assets forever.”

When starting to invest, it is important to think about the protection of those assets while conducting business online, or work from home. So, I am reading as much as I can and will post about what is going on as I can.

I find these books easier to read than the common get-rich books, but all are important to build my understanding or financial intelligence.

I have made the decision that this is the year I really begin investing my money.

I just started reading Rich Dad Poor Dad last night, and while I have read many self-help financial books, I have always said “I’ll start investing when I have more money.” I think that attitude is what is getting in my way and I need to invest more money in things, and this is the year!

Hopefully, since I am a quick learning, I will take what I know, and what I have learned and do the best I can this year.

From what I have read so far, Rich Dad Poor Dad seems like a good book to start with at this moment.

So I guess I’m going to order a couple more Get Rich Books. I feel like a romance addicted housewife who can’t put down grocery store novels But they encourage me nonetheless.

Maybe I’ll get an online payday loan and order the red iPod.

Well now my wife is telling me she wants to “collect the Harry Potter Books” and I had to ask her, “do you plan on reading them?” Collect books? I have no idea why Harry Potter is so popular, but it seems now even my wife is wrapped up in the current media hype over Harry.

Nonetheless, this brings me to the topic at hand! Celebrity Mugshots.

I wonder how long until Daniel Radcliffe gets his first DUI and his mugshot makes the internet, alongside the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan – why don’t these girls hire drivers to drive them around if they are drunk?

What’s with all the Harry Potter hype? I am one of those who have not seen the movies, haven’t read the books, and don’t know jack about it.

But, Harry Potter seems to be very popular.

Is it the way it is marketed to the public? Is it the new way to hook children on story lines and books to sell them tons of merchandise? Like it or not, it seems Harry Potter is here to stay. Unless he dies in the latest book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
