How to Forward

Once again, Seth to the rescue

I enjoy posting to my blog, especially when I’ve got something burning to say or a desire to share.

It’s certainly not for the money that I do so.

But after reading Seth’s excellent post on why anyone should do anything, I’m wondering now if indeed I’ll become rich from my blog!

Seriously though, Seth’s post is concise and to the proven point. A good read with which to start out the week.

And an excellent choice to add to your feed reader.

It is funny. Really. Isn’t it?

Whilst filing my daughter’s taxes through Intuit, i found this nifty “eFile” document at the IRS

From top to bottom in 5 Minutes

Create a sense of glamor in 5 minutes or less.

I found this photo in my “where’d these photos come from?” collection. I’d like to credit the photographer, but couldn’t find reference.

I decided though, after seeing the photograph, that it needed just a little something. So, i set a time limit of 5 minutes and had at it.

I’m thinking it might make a nice little tutorial if anyone is interested. Leave a comment if you’d like the tutorial.

Peace is a five-letter word.

Potato head loved by a Virgo

What a casual treat this post I found today. I’m usually finding out that the day is perfect for spending time with the family, or getting round to that overlooked task, or even taking the day to be-at-one with nature.

In Naphets post, I find true guidance in all things.

Amazingly Accurate Accents

Amy Walker nearly is to accents what Baskin & Robbins is to ice cream.

She just about nails 21 out of 21 accents. To a T.

The best words for an email are sometimes those not used.

Working now for well over two decades, in this industry we call advertising, has afforded me the pleasure of seeing many things come and go.

One thing that remains a constant is the “well-written” word. Be it prose or quick to measure ad copy, writing well is paramount if you ever hope to convert, or call-to-act a satisfactory percentage of your readers.

The same thing holds true, and more so, with the words strung together in your emails.

I found a blog-post today that more than adequately give you clues as to how best to converse via email.

Have a read here. I’ll bet you tag the page for future reference.

What a great idea.

Dang-it, that was a heavy rock. (in my best Napolean imitation)

How long have I been under that rock anyway? I just today found out about “Fundable“.

What a great idea this is.

Really.

Post election stress relief

Ok, so it’s March 5th. Election day is done. You’re either happy, or frustrated, about how your candidate or issue faired yesterday.

So, what now? How about a laugh? Or several.
