New Colorado Springs real estate site

I’m excited to be working on a new Colorado Springs real estate website. The site will include advanced MLS search and SEO for both Colorado Springs homes for sale and for rent.

One of the new features that will be included in the site will be an IDX-based rental search focus to provide Colorado Springs renters with the most complete source of rental homes to choose from. I’m also integrating a mobile-phone-friendly search feature, along with a downloadable iPhone app to search for properties in Colorado Springs.

Looking forward to launching soon!

An open letter to Compassion International

Dear Compassion International Board Members,

I am proud that my teen daughter has taken an interest in sponsoring a child through your organization and want to commend you on the transparency that seems to be the norm for Compassion. I am a board member of the God and Country Festival in Nampa, Idaho, and have been glad to help our organization partner with yours to promote compassion in Jesus’ name.

However, since Compassion is a steward of millions of dollars of resources being spent in the name of Jesus on behalf of the church, I feel it’s important to share with you something that your board may not be aware of.

I see many references to HIV/AIDS on your site, and I understand that there is a lot of good that needs to be done in service to those in third world nations who have been labeled as suffering from HIV/AIDS. I firmly believe that needs to continue, just with more accurate language and a more informed delivery of services, nutrition, and medicine.

However, since truth is a pretty important (and rare) commodity in our society, I think it’s critical that the church speak accurately about the HIV/AIDS science, and not promote what has turned out to be one of the biggest scientific frauds of the 20th and 21st centuries, second only to the Global Warming fraud that has recently been uncovered.

In short, many reputable members of the scientific and medical communities have found zero evidence of a causal connection between HIV and what is so commonly referred to as AIDS. Any fair reading of the various points of view will lead to the conclusion that HIV does not and cannot cause African AIDS or any other form of AIDS, because the reasoning behind the diagnosis of AIDS as a disease process is entirely illogical. This is not the appropriate place for a full discussion of the science, but I would be happy to discuss this with someone, and I encourage the board to research it independently.

There will come a point when the fraud can no longer be sustained by the popular media, just as the fraud of so-called global warming is no longer sustainable. I cringe when I see reputable organizations such as yours lending their good name and credibility to a scientific establishment that has purged dissenters from its ranks in the same way the global warming alarmist have purged dissenters from their ranks.

Lest you think what I’m saying is the result of wild conspiracy theory, I refer you to a couple of important books by published scientists on the subject which outline some of the reasons that have led to the false “HIV causes AIDS” theory to become “accepted science” due to politics and money rather than objective laboratory work:

Please contact me if you have questions, or Google a peer-reviewed scientist named “Peter Duesberg” to learn more about this. I hope to see Compassion on the right side of this issue after the board has a chance to review the literature, and before the pseudo-scientific facade of the HIV/AIDS theory comes down publicly and damages its reputation.

May God bless your ministry,

New CLEP Study Guide site

I’ve started a side project for CLEP Study Guides as a result of our home school approach for our kids’ education. We’ve chosen to home school through the high school years with a college-prep approach we were first introduced to through the book “College Without Compromise.” The idea is to provide a way for home schooled kids to prepare for and enter college through non-traditional paths.

At the new CLEP Study Guide site (currently a work in progress), we’ll post information to help parents and home schoolers navigate the massive amounts of information out there in the world of college prep and CLEP examinations. We’ve definitely discovered some great ways to streamline the transition from high school to college and save a lot of money in the process if you plan your strategy correctly.

The site will include everything from tips for choosing a CLEP exam, to a step by step guide to studying for CLEP exams. We’ll provide you with the links and resources we have found to be the best for our home schoolers, including information on CLEP test prep resources, downloads, study guides, and college text books.

Real Estate Keywords Tool is updated

I’m pretty excited about the success of my little Real Estate Keywords Tool, and just finished some minor tweaks to make it even more useful to the real estate community. For instance, I now have twenty slots for agents and brokers to input location names such as cities, counties, and neighborhoods. I also added dozens of new keywords reaching into niche markets like vacation properties, investment properties, and commercial real estate.

If you’re into real estate SEO and see the usefulness of the site, you should check it out and be sure to Digg it if you like it. You can comment on this post with any suggestions you might have for improvement. I have some cool Ajax upgrades in mind in the future, but there are too many other pressing things to get done at the moment.

Getting closer to launching a commercial real estate site

One of my many projects is an Idaho commercial real estate listing site. I made some great progress on it last night and am recruiting a commercial broker friend of mine to try out the backend. I probably shouldn’t tip anyone off to what I’m doing before I launch websites, but since I have no idea how I’ll make money on the site yet–why not share? My biggest competition doesn’t even know I exist. Yet.

The concept will be to provide free commercial real estate listings to brokers and agents with commercial properties in Idaho. So there you have it. The cat’s out of the bag. If you’re a commercial real estate broker and want to be informed when the site launches, please sign up below. Agents in all states are welcome to sign up, as we have national commercial listing sites queued up to launch in the future: Continue reading

Thanks for joining me

As a writer and web developer, I suffer from having too many places to write and not enough time to fill them. Nevertheless, there’s always the need for one more outlet for creative urges, so I finally decided to create a single location where I can write about the many projects I have going on, whether personal or professional. I guess that makes this a meta-blog.

I’m not sure why anyone would want to know this much about my interests, passions, and ambitions, but if you’ve stumbled over one of my sites in cyberspace and want to learn a little more about the author, then I guess you’re in right place.

So welcome, and I hope to make your read at least marginally interesting.
