Property investment Part 1

4 comments September 11th, 2007

As some of my long term readers would know, I’ve been very interested in property investment for quite a few years now, but have never been in the position to actually go out and get started. I’ve learnt a lot about it, and what I’ve learnt has helped me understand that my future lies in property investment. It’s the only way to become financially independent.

A few weeks ago Deidre and I went to my friend Peter’s place, where some property investment guy was talking about the tax benefits of investing. What we learnt was so exciting that we decided to get involved in it immediately. We’re going to Wollongong this weekend to learn more about our options and move forward with it.

A great little blog editing tool

I’ve been using a program called MarsEdit for the past week, which is really, really good. Here’s a screenshot of it:

Now, to start off with, it shows the blogs that you have an account with, and when you select it, it shows you the posts that you’ve written to it. (Obviously this is after you’ve set it up accordingly.) From here you can create a new post, delete a current post, or edit a post.

When you create or edit a post, you get the following window:

Today is NOT the anniversary of 9/11

The media here in Australia is going out of their way to sell news by starting the 9/11 anniversay a day early.  Very annoying.  Since it’s a ‘9/11 anniversary’ according to the US, it should be remembered according to the US timing.  Here in Australia it happened on ‘9/12′, or as we say here in Australia, 12th September…  We’re one day ahead of the US.

So the only reason I can see for this ridiculous remembrance is to sell news for an extra day.  Not only will they be selling news about 9/11 today, even though they’re a day early here, but they’ll be doing it again tomorrow, when the US remembers it…
