Cloud Computing
is becoming a reality. Google offers a free set of applications similar to Microsoft Office
, except it is free or $50.00 a year per person for companies. I have been using Google Apps
. since they became available. Though I am not as competent in them as I am with Microsoft Office apps. I do find myself using Google Doc's a lot for short notes. Your document are stored on line and you are able to retrieve them anywhere a computer has access to an internet connection. Google however is not the only choice out there. Microsoft is now offering their version of Cloud Computing apps
. and Carbonite, the backup your computer company is now allowing you access to your files form other computers.
So where is this all going? I am not sure about your pocket book, but mine is running on empty when it comes to buying software
for my computer. In the past I had been telling people that the cost of computer would reduce rapidly as according to "Moores Law
" while software would become ever more expensive to own. Until Open Source programs
like OpenOffice
became available I was correct. Now thanks to the Open Source Community
and companies like Google, most applications from word processing
to digital video editing
can be found on the net for free.
Two problems that may arise will be when true software companies become extinct. Right now Microsoft
dominates the world with it operating system and its Office Suite of programs. Norton 
and McAfee 
compete with each other for new paying customers to use their time tested anti-virus programs. All three of these companies now also compete with companies that offer free programs that in my book can offer better products. What do you do?
It's up to you. If you are a computer geek
, getting a free application is fine because technical support is not available. For novices, purchasing software may be the key because someone to help you figure out how to create a check box in your document is jut a phone call away.
Which ever way you decide to go the most important thing to look for is something that you personally like to use. Nothing is more frustrating then trying to get things just the way you like them if your biggest obstacle is your software.

once told a crowd of people that we need to spend more money to get out of debt. The many Republicans are no better, being fiscally responsible to the point of being voted out. Now we are at a crossroads. Mid-term elections are right around the corner. There is no doubt that many incumbents will loose seats to newbies while others will be replaced with copies of their former selves. To me it out come means nothing. What will count is how they will vote and the following is what I propose they do.

and print our own currency.

. To make one of the largest investments in your life I decided to put together a list of things you should know before spending your hard earned cash.
. You should have no credit card payments, car payments, or owe money to any person or company. You should also have saved up an 
wisely. I fired 3 before I found one that would listen to me. They would show me houses that I wanted to buy which was fantastic, however when it came time to make an offer on a home, the fist three would not do what I asked. They work for me not the other way around. For example, a home was listed for $187,000, my Realtor told me to bid full price, I said bid $130,000. They told me I needed to offer full price again, to which I said offer $130,000 or be fired. They chose to be fired. Remember any product is only worth what a person is willing to pay for it. The seller may want a lot more than what the buyer is willing to pay always 
. My home appraised for $138,000 and I bought it for a lot less. I liked the home but if I didn't buy it I wasn't going to cry, so by offering a lower price I was able to negotiate a lower price.
and walk with the inspector. Be sure to include in your contract that if the inspector finds problems that the seller will pay to have the problems fixed at their expense or lower their asking price so that you will be able to fix the problems. I would always spend a few hundred dollars for an inspection to save thousands in the future.
and ended up becoming a professional salesperson instead. In fact for most of my life I have been in some form or another a professional sales person.
to promote myself and help others sell themselves to employers. I know that if you are a car technician you will make a great computer repair person. If you are teacher, have you ever thought about being a tour guide. How about selling that fantastic sauce you use on your food to others? If sticking to your current job isn't working out so well try something new.
. Just send me your resume as an attachment to hyonemura3@yahoo.com and I will return it with comments and suggestions. I make no promises that my suggestions will get you a job, however, having a second pair of eyes never hurts. You can also sign up for the personal one on one coaching with me. Just 30 minutes a week will change you life.
often sold the idea of a product long before he had ever made it. 
has sold thousands of products, the Pasta Machine, Pocket Fisherman, Knives, and many more, not because they were the top of the line products, because they offered the buyer the chance to achieve more by doing less. What made them succeed and why does it matter?
said "you could have a Model T in any color as long as it was black". Back then no one wanted a Model T, they wanted faster stronger horses. Henry Ford is remembered not as much for the cars he built, it was for his innovation of a assembly line. Without it the Model T would have taken months to build by hands and cost beyond what the everyday American could afford.
(Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) works sheet. Forget about the weaknesses and develop your strengths. If you have a weakness that will get you in trouble at work let your boss know or contact a Life Coach like myself for guidance. Brainstorm the opportunities and don't limit yourself. Limiting yourself will only close doors. Threats are the hardest to identify. Ask yourself what person or thing will stop me from succeeding Be specific as to your course of action to counter act any threat.
