A few nights ago I was pondering if I should give my photography collections fancy names. I wanted to use interesting words that described the nature of the collection yet without sounding all pretentious and prissy. It still had to sound masculine, yet attracting everyone.

Using Twitter to Get Camera Recommendations
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.

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.
