My phone has blue-tooth stereo capabilities. so I have been looking around for some headphones. I think this is what I am going to get when I get a little extra cash.
Web Site Building – Simple is best
Today I went out and chatted with a couple of people about web sites. It seems that all businesses know they need one and do what they can about getting them set up. However, there seems to be a bunch of people getting friends they know to set up sites.
From what I have seen in my over 5 years or working with web applications is that lots of people get into the web and discover that setting up a web site is pretty easy. However, pretty sites are not easy to setup. Plus if you want them to do a cool thing or two then it becomes so much harder. Years to learn Harder.
Web Applications take vision, knowledge and a bunch of hard work. But that is where the world is going to be changed. The World will be changed one web application at a time. There are already tons of web applications that have changed the world. Google, and there ever expanding applications. WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and many many others.
But for the average web needs there are web applications that can be installed and configured to make your web presents so much easier. Come on in the water’s Fine.
Stranger Than Fiction – Best Movie of the Year
I have watched this movie about 10 times. The Hero, while not perfect, especially from the Christian perspective. Is however in the most noble of all characters in almost any movie in the last year.
Good idea that got away
Several years ago Mike G and I got the idea for what we called the cord claw. it was basically a claw, like a hair clip that could be use to hold a cord after it was wrapped up. We thought about making 2 or three different sizes. Well someone else had a similar idea and they are selling them in Home Depot. While their version is not as easy to use as ours. However, it’s a very similar idea. I hope those folks are millionaires now, I know we would have been.
Yard work bum in Texas
Today in an effort to stay sane I decided to do a bit of yard work. Charles is spending a bunch of time at work in an effort to get a better job. Any way I started by using a hedge cutter to conquer some over-grown plants along the drive way, which is steep. I am guessing a 15 to 20 degree slope. This was my exercise for the day. It has all the elements of the perfect workout for me; Lots of sun, sweating, doing work that makes my muscles sore, and best of all something gets accomplished. Most of the time what gets accomplished when I am working out is I am getting a tan. I believe I could become a yard work bum. I could go from house to house telling people I would do their yard work for free, or mostly free. All I would require is a semi-cold drink of water several times during the day. I would get tan, I would get pretty ripped too. Maybe I should put up an advertisement on Craigslist. However, people may think of some kind of freak. No I think I am going to need referrals to get the yard work bum thing going. I am going to need to do some more thinking about this. I first came up with the idea as I was doing the weed whacking. You may think I am crazy or frivolous but I think I could get a new trend started. The yard working bum work-out. I could probably sell t-shirts, but probably not videos. Well maybe desperate women would by the video’s to watch a buff tan guy do yard work. I think that would be part of the second phase of my life as a marketing guru and yard working bum. Okay maybe that last part about the video’s was a bit frivilous. Long live the yard working bum.
