Welcome polymaths !

Ever get the feeling that you seem to don't know what to do with your life because there are just so many things that you want to do ? I know, I've been there, so welcome to the club.

My name is Zigfred Diaz and I am a polymath. After more than 6 years of bloging about almost anything under the sun and having sort of a "blogging identity crisis." I've finally embraced who I am and decided to turn my main blog into some sort of guide for people with so much interest. Feel free to poke around.

Warren Buffett’s email address and contact information

by 5 Comments

I’m surprised to see that Warren Buffett’s email address and contact information is one of the most searched in the internet. As you all know I am a big fan of Warren Buffett. I’ve read all the Warren Buffett books that I can and I have done a lot of research about him. I may even have Warren Buffett’s email address and contact number you know *wink* I am somewhat hesitant **wink wink **to give Warren Buffett’s email address and contact information for the reason that a lot of those seeking to contact him seems to be just asking for donations. Warren Buffett doesn’t want to waste time. Time to him is gold (literally) so I just don’t want to give you his personal email and contact information if you will waste his time. (That is assuming of course that I have it hehehehe) A recent “dinner for charity” with him was worth $2.1 million dollars. (Just imagine how much a minute with him is worth!) However if you have a legitimate business concern with Warren Buffett especially if you want … [Read more...]

Guerilla blogging turns 2 !

by Leave a Comment

Last November, this blog turned 2 years old! Unfortunately I was not able to write about it because as I mentioned in my post entitled “I’m back” I had been busy wearing my other hats. Anyway, first of all I want to greet everybody a happy near year! What a great time to reflect and look at what we have accomplished in terms of this blog for the year 2009. It is also a great year to look forward and set new goals. This will sort of become my “SOMBA” – State of my blog Address. As I said in the post entitled “Making an Electronic media kit,” I have somewhat summarized the recent accomplishments of this blog so this SOMBA will be short and so will be the next succeeding ones since I will be incorporating the details of the milestones that this blog has reached or will be reaching in the yearly electronic media kit that I will be releasing. Looking back, in “Guerilla blogging turns 1,” which I wrote in November 2008, I mentioned 7 goals there that I was planning to … [Read more...]

Download free antivirus program

by Leave a Comment

I wonder what virus makers have in their mind when they make a computer virus. Perhaps they have nothing else better to do ? (LOL) :-) Computer viruses have certainly become an unavoidable inconvenience of modern computing technology. Whether we like it or not, we all have to deal with viruses in one way or another. Because of this antivirus program has become a necessity. (Perhaps the antivirus companies are making viruses in order that they can make tons of money from their antivirus programs ? hehehe LOL not really:-)) Unless your computer is not accessing the internet an intranet or does not have any access to removal storage i.e floppy disk (LOL who uses these now a days), flash drives, CDs, DVDs, removal hard disk etc. your computer may not need to have an antivirus program. However what good is a computer if you can’t access the internet, a local network or removable storage? Nowadays antivirus programs have evolved to a whole new level. They have to protect computer users … [Read more...]

The corruption of Christmas

by Leave a Comment

Christmas is supposed to be a time of celebration. That is why we greet each other a “Merry Christmas.” Although it is cannot be established that Christ was indeed born on December as I pointed out in my previous post “Should Christians celebrate Christmas” what is important is that we acknowledge the fact that Christ was born more than 2000 years ago and we celebrate such fact during Christmas. I am sorry if I will be writing about something that is not so merry this Christmas. I will not be talking about how Christmas has been corrupted by the fact that we have placed more emphasized on Santa and his elves, Frosty the Snow Man or Rudolph (not that any of these are bad) instead of placing Christ in the center of Christmas. I will be talking about the blatant corruption and disregard of our graft and corruption law committed during Christmas time. No business can exist without doing any kind of transaction with the government. As a business person it is common knowledge in the … [Read more...]

Making an electronic media kit

by Leave a Comment

Recently I was contacted by 3 potential advertisers for this site. One of them asked for a media kit. I had no idea what a media kit was so I googled to try to find out what it is all about. According to ehow.com, a media kit, otherwise known as a “press kit” is “a package of news and background information that is distributed to members of the media to build buzz about your product, service or event. The information in this kit will help give a reporter story ideas.” So basically a media kit is just a marketing tool that will help market your product or service. This marketing tool is directed towards the press. An electronic media kit is of course just a media kit in electronic format, usually a .pdf file. This is much cheaper, cheaper of course than cheap auto insurance,  as you can just email it. Try checking out the web, you will see that most media organizations have electronic media kits. Several sites gives ideas on how to make a media kit just try googling it. For my … [Read more...]
