Hello,

I am proud and honoured to present to you (my first human visitors) ‘The Gremlins Umbrella Authority’.

After months of hard work, negotiation, worry, and financial termoil, I have succeeded in creating what will hopefully be my first, last, and only online business venture.

So who am I, and what the hell is this?

I am -GRUMBA-, or at least that is my online alias/handle from now on. My real name (offline alias) is Thomas Clowes. I have a loving family, and a boring but reasonably well paid day job (At least for now).

In a curious, and random series of occurences one cold night in March 2006, I was introduced to the world of online advertising, domain name investment, and web site development. Immediately I saw a great opportunity. The Gremlins Umbrella Authority is the result.

Motivation?

As far as I am concerned, the world is in a terrible economic state. I have always been interested in business, and investment: the current climate got me into the stock market, and now into online business. It is potentially a huge risk, but I intend to rise to the challenge, and give it a go.

I am a big fan of books such as Freakonomics by Dubner & Levitt, and have been in many ways motivated by projects such as Oneredpaperclip. This however is not a punt, or a gamble to such an extent as ORP. I feel that given the small, condensed introduction I have had that there is a lot of money to be made online.

This will most certainly be a learning experience, and ideally a money maker!

My intention/ideal is to turn -removed- hard earned United States Dollars of my own into enough to buy me a new house, new car, and provide me with a substantial income for life. A long shot I know, but it would not be a challenge were it not.

This website aims to be a humerous(where possible), down to earth, online instance of my new business venture GUA. I intend to keep you updated of my progress all the way.

Thanks

-removed- I had a sudden realisation a week after my initial post, that my investment is of no concern to my readers. That is meant with no disrespect, rather on thinking about it I feel that this blog is equally informative, and perhaps more helpful if the reader is not aware of my investment. Cheers
