Announcing Solo Signal

I’m very excited to announce my latest blogging project, Solo Signal. As the assistant organizer of the Cincinnati Entrepreneur Meetup Group, I often find myself sharing the insights and knowledge of the web development process that I have gained over the past decade with curious entrepreneurs and business people.

The web offers countless opportunities for anyone who is willing to learn how to use it properly. Too often, however, many non-technical people are easily overwhelmed by the amount of information involved in this task. Solo Signal helps people overcome these issues by breaking down the web development process into easily consumed articles. I hope to provide business-minded individuals with the information, tools and understanding needed to successfully leverage the Web for their benefit.

Hop on over to Solo Signal and subscribe to the feed. I have all kinds of great topics planned and you won’t want to miss any. Also, make sure you leave some comments so that we can get some good conversations going!

What I’m reading
Your Money or Your Life: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin

How I Found It
The Simple Dollar — 10 Books That changed My Life: A Summary

Where I Got it
Amazon.com — Your Money or Your Life

Why I’m Reading It
After reading Trent Hamm’s post about the 10 books that changed his life, I was immediately intrigued by Your Money or Your Life. I had heard about the book in the past, but this post finally convinced me to grab a copy.

Although my wife and I have good control over our finances, I still search for new insights and attempt to further improve upon that control. I’m hoping this book will introduce me to some new concepts and help me hone my understanding of money and how it relates to life in general.
