Disclosure
I’m not a journalist. I don’t pretend to be, nor should most journalists. I’m an activist. I write about what I believe in, what causes I want to further, and what causes I want to stop.
I do not have a significant financial investment in any company, though I invest my most valuable resources into WordPress, WordPress.com, and Automattic.
I own a small amount of Flock stock. I have many friends working at Flock.
I own a small amount of IBM stock. I have many friends working at IBM, particularly in the DB2 group.
Adverts and Affiliate Links on foolswisdom.com
I am a Amazon.com affiliate which would pay me if you purchased an item following one of my links, but that has never happened.
I use Google Adsense.
Any money made by me on foolswisdom.com is donated to registered humanitarian charities.
Need Help?
Occasionally I find time to spend a few hours considering other people’s web services, web sites, software applications, and other software problems. It does not hurt to ask. If you are in it for the money, then I charge $100 USD / hr donated to a humanitarian charity of my choosing, in my name.
