My most recent MOTIF

No, I’m no investing genius, as you can see. In fact, I am lagging the S&P right now, though with a nominally higher dividend return. This isn’t an example of picking a high flyer, so much as it is a stable fund with steady income. My prediction is that, as the S&P lags in the second half of this year, this will begin to outperform.

Behold! The wonders of Project Fi!

It may not come as a surprise to many that I have recently become somewhat of a Google fan-boy. The company plunges tons of money into R&D into all sorts of tech meant to innovate in our lives. With that in mind, I recently wrote a short review on Google’s Project Fi, and why I thought it was worth a look for anyone interested in good cell service at half the price. Apparently, even without the Beard, I wrote the article well enough for my friends to believe it was some sort of scam or hack.

IT’S NOT!

I’ve been using Google as my Cell Phone provider for well over a year now, and I can honestly tell you the results have been nothing less than awesome. It’s essentially a floating data plan where you only pay for exactly how much data you use each month, and never a dime more. My bill averages under $50 per month, and my service is easily as good as I’ve seen on other carriers. Not only is it a fair, affordable plan, but it’s also a reliable plan. I’ve even used it overseas. Rates are clearly labeled, and data costs the same there as it does here. Plus, I never have to call them to “activate” some sort of overseas plan. I just turn my phone on in a new country and off I go with an excellent little “Welcome” message from Google.
 
What’s more, the service is always getting upgrades. There are now family and friend plans where everyone can pay their own way but at a reduced rate. And they even have a data only plan, which costs NOTHING additional. You just pay for the data you use on your tablet or old phone, as if it was part of your monthly phone bill.
 
If you have any questions about this excellent cell phone carrier. Please let me know and I’ll be happy to answer.
 
If you are interested in signing up, use my link and get $20 off your first month’s bill. Trust me. This is one of the best moves I’ve ever made.
 

From the Road

Not much to report in Beard Land, but perhaps that is because the beard is dead; long live the beard.

Some Nostalgia

Anyway, Beard Man now finds himself wandering the dusty, dirty road. A lot. Perhaps he will try to document these journey’s though the images they paint often seem pale compared to the reality of Life’s Print. Let us hope that in short order the vibrancy of the story shall present itself in a manner far more befitting of this twisted wanderer’s tale.
