Ooo man, when you think there is not much to see on the net you will come across one of the wonders. Well i dont know how old this news is, but since i didn’t know this was going on maybe i just haven’t been paying much attention to yahoo in the past. Well if you ever wish to show yourself live on the world wide web that is the place. You can make your own community, and just hook a camera up to your computer (I didn’t need to do that) I have a built in one in my computer. Just click on Go – Live, and what you know i am Live.

I had some other people just to visit and see me and they were like that is cool. Now if you have a family in some abroad country, I know i do, and you are having a ceremony or some type of party at your place, you can show it to them live by just connecting the video camera to the computer because this service was alot faster than i expected. Rather than connecting with msn conference room you can just this, and broadcast your party online.

Also, Now i can schedule live conferences with you guys, or perhaps have my own show on certain timings where i will take live questions through Chat feature they have. Now that is a really cool idea in my opinion. So my readers what do you guys think about that one ?

Well here is a Balkhis Page

I think Yahoo is stepping it up a notch and soon will be giving Google some competition. Recently with all the Google’s unstability, i am now tend to be using Yahoo much more than i used to, and fellas believe me or not It is Better. I am conducting a research right now about these two search engines and i will come up with some heavy facts that i am noticing and different things they have.

So stay tuned.. and i need to hear some replies about whether you guys want a live telecast Q/A show or not ? comment and let me know.

It is not really webmaster related, but i am sure i can make it be related to Webmasters. Comeon fellas, those of us who makes alot of money wants to live long, and those of us who don’t make alot of money right now want to live long so they can make alot of money. Well it can be made possible by doing cell researches, but the Government interference is becoming a big hurdle in the process. Why is the government interferring? Well the close minded people who runs the government have issues and they are the one overthrowing the idea every time.

Why do these people don’t want longevity research?

Too stubborn to admit to the fact that it is possible. When there is no logical answer everyone tries to bring in religion (and interpret it the way they want). They think it is religiously wrong to follow through on the longevity research. Some of them are just too old and think they won’t benefit from it so why should the young people. While many other thinks that aging is just a process that happens by time whereas science has proven that aging occurs through cell and our cells are programmed to function that way.

But this fact is just too hard for them to live with. But these people would contradict themselves by taking all the high tech medicines for their normal day diseases such as diabetes and blood pressure. If they believe that it happens by age why are they trying to control it with pills and trying to live longer. If you dont believe me then i am sure you will believe the statistics. These diabetes and blood pressure pills has increased the human longevity from 30 in 1800s to over 75 today.

Now I can see why people wouldn’t ….

Now if you are wondering which car i bought, I bought a 2008 Honda Civic EX in a Gold Color (Full Features). This car runs and looks smooth, and the best part is i dont have to pay monthly payments. Now I am posting the pictures below, and i will tell you how i did it.

First important thing i had to do was manage my finances, and stop carrying cash. Let me tell you that Cash is not something you want to carry in your pocket because it encourages frivilous spending. Even if you don’t need something you will end up buying it at the spot because you have cash in your pocket. I put my online income in my savings account, and transfer some into checking as i go. Next thing i did was managed my finances through Excel (A custom program i created) in which i can enter my daily income and spending, and at the end of the day i had my net Income. I analyzed what i was doing. I made smart investments as in promoting my website. (I did make alot of stupid ones as well, but you have to understand that i have been in this business for almost 5 years now) therefore i have some what of an idea what is good and what is not. Each month, i took out a good portion of my savings, and transferred it to another separate savings account. (I opened just a savings account, not connected it with Checkings, so NO CARD). That means i can only slide the card for my other account which doesn’t have that much money. Now if you have read my about page, i am only 17 so i don’t have a credit card, but i do have a Debit card which can be used as a credit.

Now those were my finance strategy. What exactly did i do last year? I started the year of 2007 by launching my last website (IDK.in) which was promoted heavily. It was a webdirectory, and i know many webmasters are not a fan of webdirectories, but a good webdirectory can be helpful. It was my ONLY project as i worked part time because i was in the senior year of my high school. One project means i can concentrate on it more. If you have multiple projects and you are working part time it gets really hard to do a good job on each. I set up a paid directory and added a blog in it. I am a free lance designer as well, so i did alot of custom work. Now in all together i was close to hitting 5 figures last year, but with directory alone i made enough money to buy a car before i sold the website. In Late September, Early October I sold my directory as i started college and couldn’t manage to stay updated with the directory world as so much was going on from the google side.

Now i bought a decent car which gives me very good Miles Per Gallon, and runs smoothly. Yeah i have a massager in the front both seats That feels good when i drive especially in the winter as it have a Heat Pack. Soon i will be getting Balkhis logo on the car with much more customization then i will post more photos

I hope you liked my success story and i hopefully inspired a few if not more. Main thing you have to do is keep track of your finances, and give your project your 100% so basically only have one project if you are the only person working (Part Time).
