Hard to believe it, I have had a Twitter account since mid 2008. For a long time it was just something I looked at from time to time, not understanding how anyone could cross-converse in such a hectic and vibrant community. It looked (and sometimes still does) like a bazillion monkeys chattering over the top... Continue Reading →
Multi Skilling Keep the Mind Sane
Diversity is fun, but it can get difficult to focus on so many things at once. It's actually what's keeping me away from Facebook. Right now I have my fingers in a bunch of proverbial pies that are starting points to potential virtual end-products. One part of my brain is focusing on a new site... Continue Reading →
Being Very Right
I like proving the vocational assessment I had 3 months ago to be very wrong. Yes, one might say a thing is either wrong or right, there's no place for a combination of the two. To that I'd like to butcher a quote by Stuart, owner of the profitless comic book store on #TheBigBangTheory -... Continue Reading →
Essential Security in Windows 8
Interesting fact: There's no need to install Microsoft Security Essential on Windows 8: According to Microsoft... In Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1, Windows Defender provides the same level of protection against malware as Microsoft Security Essentials. You can't use Microsoft Security Essentials with Windows 8 and Windows RT, but you don't need to—Windows Defender is... Continue Reading →
Bookmarks of Interest
Despite two real-world events today, I've still managed to get onto the online world to visit and read a few world wide web sites of personal interest ... and here they are for others to read.

Using My Blog as Originally Intended
Every day I read a myriad of web sites that meet my interest. More often I post them on Facebook or Twitter. This morning an idea hit me right between the eyes: Post these links onto my Blog. Stupidly this is exactly why I started for blogging back in the late 90's. Yet when I... Continue Reading →
Be Prepared to make Mistakes!
Found this TED video, heard this quote within it, and had to tell everyone about it. Particularly you. "If you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original."- Sir Ken Robinson But don't just stop there. Listen to the whole video. It is hilarious ... and quite enlightening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG9CE55wbtY... Continue Reading →
Never Buy Cheap Camera Equipment
Seriously, when it comes to dSLR equipment, never go cheap! I bought a 67mm neutral density filter when I was on Kangaroo Island last time I was there. I cannot recall the brand, but I do recall that it was about $15. I should have stopped right there, but I wanted to test some ideas.... Continue Reading →
Using Pain to Focus on What Matters
A recent Facebook message got me dreaming about life without a job. It wasn't a pretty picture. I didn't like it one bit. That dream, even through the vertigo haze, reminded me that I still have the power to think, reason, create, and succeed. I also have the fortitude to tackle things most people would...

Four Simple Tips for Selling Products by Phone
I've been housebound for about 3 weeks, suffering from Gastro, Severe Vertigo, and Tinnitus. Consequently, I have had to deal with the 3 or 4 telephone calls each day that, according to the person ringing, are not selling anything. Yet, ultimately, they are. What has rattled me today is not that they call me - but they... Continue Reading →
4 Ways to Keep your Entrepreneurial Spirit Alive
It's a busy day today. What I really wanted to do today was help my wife's business to reach an online market. I also really need to sand off three layers of ghastly paint off the outdoor setting. I am also waiting for the child inside my wife to make that final decision to enter... Continue Reading →
