And despite the notion that one should go to a blogging conference to learn about blogging, I actually learned more about myself last ye... Read More »

After all, without these tech people, Apple wouldn’t have anything! Right? Maybe not. Take a look into w... Read More »
Hi, My name is Edward and I want to tell you a story from my life about how good things happen when you have perseverance and patience. How I turned $50K into $1 million. In about 1987 when I was 21, I decide to buy real estate. I am a native San Francisco, born in Chinatown from a very modest family income (basically poor). Even though my parents never stressed getting a good education, they did... Read More »
