Priceless Marketing Information

No, really, I mean it's priceless! It's FREE! I lucked up and found this information through a freelance friend. It's called eBusiness Blueprint and it really is free. At least for a limited time! I don't generally buy things like this because I got burned by an offer similar to it one time. But if you know me, you know this already :)

Anyway, here's the link if you want to check it out eBusiness Blueprint

Farewell Luciano Pavarotti

This morning on my usual trip to CNN.com I saw the sad news. Luciano Pavarotti, dead at age 71, pancreatic cancer. I never had the privilege of seeing him on stage, but I've always been a fan. His wife, daughters, other family members and friends were by his side when he passed. He will be sorely missed.

Good Tuesday Morning!

Good Morning! I'm not quite sure, but I woke up in a great mood this morning! I have a lot of work to get done today, 2 phone calls to make and several errands to run but I'm really looking forward to it for some reason.

This morning I'd like to get back into talking about famous quotes. Henry Ford said "Don't find fault, find a remedy; Anyone can complain."

How true is that?! How many times have you avoided saying "fine thank you, how are you?" simply because you know the person will tell you? :) Recently I've started really listening when an employee at a grocery store, gas station, etc.. says "hi, how are you?"

Guess what I've noticed. Nothing. They rarely reply! Our conversation goes:

Them "how are you today?"
Me "I'm great, how are you?"
Them ...

It's like they say it so many times a day, they become immune to answering or something. Maybe as conversationalists, we have to settle for one extreme or the other. Maybe we either hear nothing, or every complaint the person can possibly think of.

I learned years ago it's much easier to accept faults as they lie and work toward finding a remedy. As Mr. Ford said "Anyone can complain" so why be like 'anyone'? I would much rather stand out and offer suggestions to help.

I hope everyone's having a great week so far!

How cool is that?!

I usually try to stay up to speed on the latest technological news so I was reading a few articles this evening. I'd seen mention of this BPL (Broaband over Power Lines) before, but here's a "How stuff works" article on it.

How Stuff Works - BPL article.

Enjoy!!

Help, I'm drowning!

No, not really :) I'm very busy lately so I haven't been able to update Twixal very much, but I'm really enjoying a few of the newer jobs I've picked up!

Hope everyone's having a great weekend!
