    Digital Signatures

    I’m researching digital signature service for clients and wanted to learn a little more. What are they and are they legit? I found a page on the American Bar Association called Digital Signature Guidelines Tutorial. You’ll see a bunch of blue numbers throughout the page referring to footnotes, which I’ll refer to for location on [...]

    List criteria when comparison shopping

    From the archives… a tip from The Simplifier #61 (April 2008). The image was added today just for fun.

So of course Murphy’s Law pops up for the “high-stakes” video that I’ll use for marketing the upcoming Natural Professional Course. Yes, with new, fun [...]

He also said that his activities need to be diverse to hold his interest. Context So we were working on gleaning ToDos for the day from his project list, which [...]
