Its always amazes me how folks advertise on AdWords with a subdomain instead of their own domain. Would it hurt to buy a domain name to build a brand?

Did you know that you can now control who sees what on Linked In. Granted it’s not as extensive as Facebook or Google Plus, but this is certainly a step forward.

Before you transfer to another feed reader

In case you don’t know by now Google announced that they are going to put Google Reader out to pasture.
If you have a Google Reader account like me, you have many subscriptions.
So the best thing you can do right now is to backup your subscriptions.
When you login to your Google Reader account, after the announcement, an update prompt comes up.
You can then click “Learn More” as to how to download and backup your subscriptions.
Have you already moved your feeds to another service? Let me know in the comments.

Cord Control: Getting Unwired or at Least Looking the Part
March 2, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Like most people, I’d like to take the weekend to tackle on some projects on the homefront that I’ve been ignoring for some time.
One of these projects is labelled “Cord Control.”
So one could imagine how things look before I got started.
The first items I’d use are Kableflags KFA001 Cable Identification Tags (DIY Blank Pack)
I like these because you can label whatever cord you want. For a person who is about tagging almost everything, that’s saying a lot.
If after a while, you become tired of seeing the wires, you can always conceal them with the Blue Lounge Design CBM-WH CableBox Mini Cable Management
What are you doing to tame your wires and control your cords?

Wonder why I don’t buy?
February 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment
I did some grocery shopping recently. I went to grab some milk and the product wasn’t within reach. There were obstacles.
First there was a cart full of other products in the way and secondly, the product was placed so high on the shelf that the product was not in reach.
When I looked for help no one was around. When you do ask for help or assistance, you are then faced with less that courteous service.
This is what causes consumers like me to get frustrated and walk out the door.
The point is that sales isn’t always about price or location. Its about having access without complications.
The customer isn’t going to come back if they feel that they are being a bother or being ignored.
I can understand why folks opt for farmers market and online delivery.

Did you notice the latest craze? Resumes are becoming social.
This Pinterest resume is the one who started it all.
However, there are some resume’s that ‘skinned’ sites to make an impression.
Is inimitation a sincere form of flattery? These resumes think so.

Having a TV antenna kept me connected during ‘Nemo’
February 9, 2013 by Leave a Comment
During the snowstorm yesterday, I noticed that my internet connection was not working. I called the service provider, who indeed confirmed that service was down for their customers. Albeit, I had my mobile phone that kept me working.
Since I cut cable TV two three weeks ago (time sure does fly) I feel less dependent on TV. Yet having an antenna
(commandeered from the nextSTEPH COO’s facilities) kept me connected during the storm.
Do you have a backup communication system in place for when things go down?

On this celebration of Martin Luther King’s birthday, I have to pause and reflect. If it wasn’t for those that came before me, I wouldn’t be where I’m at today.
