Lately I have been publishing articles or 'lenses' on Squidoo.  Squidoo is a website where users can publish articles that focus on a hobby or a passion.  Squidoo calls each article a lens because they 'focus' on a topic.  I have already written one about my dog Harry among other things. I have put a link to this  article on the side bar so that you can keep tabs on what I write.

2010 June Tour: Miles PDF Print E-mail

Last weekend I toddled off to Miles (west of Toowoomba) for a weekend tour.  We rode out in one day and back the next.  It was the most riding I have done in a weekend and I have been pretty sore since.  There were five of us and we all hail from the Brisbane, Esk and the Sunshine Coast.  Four of us met up at Australia Zoo at 7:30am Saturday morning before before meeting the fifth member of our group later at Esk.

Kiva - loans  that change livesI used to have Google Ads on this site but in three years I have 'earned' a total of 10 USD.  Annoying people for three years, in a what was clearly a vain attempt to pay for my hosting, is simply not worth it.  So, instead I have placed an advertisment for one of my favourite charities - KIVA.  (I also support PCYC)

Kiva is a service that helps you to lend money to entrepreneurs in developing countries.  KIVA provides an opportunity for people in many countries to setup a business when traditional bank lending is not possible.  Here is how it works;

You lend money to a person of your choosing.  Your money gets paid back over time.  You then cash in your money or lend it again. Simple.

The Kiva website lists the profiles of those requesting a loan and what type of business they are attempting to fund.

I have had two loans fully repaid already.  Check out Kiva yourself.
