Blog postLately, I’ve been reading a lot more books on Scribd then I have been on Amazon. I like Scribd a lot because I read read a lot of classic books that I like for free.

However, I figured out a way around this – use the Spreeder Chrome extension.

Blog postI didn’t realize it, but this website turned 4 years old on July 8! Or rather, I published my first blog post then. In the beginning, I started with a blog on Blogger or WordPress.com – I honestly can’t remember which one. Then later, I decided to buy the domain workathometipsonline.com.

In this blog post, I’ll explain more about Timeular and the ZEI device.
What is the ZEI device? The ZEI device is an eight-sided device that connects to your m -
