Hearing Marvin Dirksen (excellent speaker) tonight at the hall, then popping in, virtually, to see the Christians at the BraveHeart Women business community there was this video by Lifehouse Everything Drama. Thinking on the arts media to portray interpretation of truths. Over a million views, this must have struck a chord with a great many people!
Seems to me the world is full of distraction sent deliberately to pull us down and destroy. Especially a person who has found truth in a world that calls it something else. He didn’t say there would be no trouble…but that we’d be in trouble. Do you know who He is? The Light, the Truth, and the Door. Peace.
He also said “I must be about my father’s business”.
This is a long weekend here: Valentine’s Day, Family Day (so Monday is a holiday).
So this blog post is dedicated to my Asian friends, and it pains my heart to be separated from you, though I am so bad at keeping in touch. Work is too hard! Thank goodness for communications like telephone, email, FaceBook…
When first tried a mooncake, I thought: Wow! Like fudgey, peanut-flavoured, smooth and yummy…with a surprise salty, grainy egg yolk in the middle all cutely done in a pretty stamped pastry…very rich and sweet ~
But, so many are passed back and forth between friends and family–people get sick of them by the time they are teens. Lots of beautiful tins and special gift bags exchanged.
And here is a so-sweet note sent in a mailer from Hong Kong with some anime-type figurines we bought on eBay (which came quickly on the 31st of December, and we had only ordered just a short time before). Came with magnet gift, seller name gorgor16.
When I arrived home this evening (from study of scripture) I checked out Twitter…which has been boring me lately, but hope waxes eternal.
And I saw a tweet “Watch Bill McIntosh Live Every Tuesday” which I saw was a right now live chat on marketing.
So there I was giving it 20 seconds and almost left when he was talking about Contest Burner. But I stayed on for a few seconds more and he asked where everyone was from and said he’d give a shout-out. So I was hooked and engaged for a a bit and became really interested. Even though I lost focus a few times during the chat…
If you want to learn to snag stuff with a whip, use Sketchpad, StumbleUpon something neat, find out how social gaming is improving education, read the most popular stories…
Logitech QuickCam Communicate Deluxe and it came very quickly…took it out of the package, plugged it in, popped in the disc (unplugged it while reading the little booklet that said “don’t plug it in until we tell you”), plugged it back in and poof, it works. Ordered from Newegg.
Sandy in Australia said she wanted me to hear about her new project so I called her on Skype which I saw on the RBMP forum. It was before midnight for me, and just about noon for her…she has no webcam, just headphones/mic and my mic didn’t work…so it was kind of silly.
Anyway, after I hung up I looked around, tired, but decided there was no way that the smart guys would make it hard for me, so I pulled it out and plugged it in a different port and voila! The mic was detected and I did a nice test with Skype and everything’s Kosher.
An Uncommon Way to Wealth is a small book by “Victor D’Argent” that you can buy on the internet for a dollar.
Published in Dublin, Ireland it is quite the little story that stays with you forever. There’s a connection with the County of Cork where an original French edition was found.
Key points:
find out what your passion is through a counsellor
find a job related to your passion, enquire of the top person
immediately start looking for your replacement
If your passion is for publishing, your time has come. Are you a Micro Publisher? File this under Odd Marketing.
You’ll never forget the images and the awakening that this book provides.
Quote: “Ideal for the investment of your time and resources.”
It’s all very uncommon. Comes with an interesting calculation.
It’s all about searching and finding a different kind of royal inheritance.
Reminds me a bit of New Jerusalem, the narrow way versus the earth and the wide crowded path.
People don’t like to donate unless they get something out of it, but even if it’s a tiny, a stupid, useless virtual thing we love to buy it (like collecting)
give regular updates, if you’re dead nobody will watch you
humour, the whole thing is funny, a funny person
pictures, media (quick glance rather than video)
re: commissions, never say “I need the money” nor be pitiful
provide good stuff, people will talk / share
people buy subscriptions where there are no ads
(from my mentor who is a veteran internet geek that does media art)
I wanted to add my own view of 2010:
mini, that is mobile friendly
provide timely bits of info
To this end I will be making this site cell phone smart.
As soon as I finish it, I’m going to give a review on The Complete Syndication Revelation.
You just make sure that your domain name is past the 2-month holding time, then…
unlock it (see the “lock” icon?) at domain name provider (GoDaddy)
go to host c-panel, domain manager (BlueHost)
get EPP authorization code, from domain manager (GoDaddy) via email
paste into the field at the host (BlueHost)
get admin contact verification code (GoDaddy) via email
change name servers given by the host (from BlueHost to GoDaddy)
agree to terms of service at host
add transfer to shopping cart and pay ($10)
Basically you have 3 windows open:
email account that your domain name provider knows
hosting account
domain name provider
Read the screen. Relax…it really is easy. Have fun with it. Pretty much it happens instantly, all the email, cutting and pasting of the codes and that.
Audio product interview (Mike Stewart’s Audio Recording For Information Publishers–coming soon)
Debating the professional vs. consumer quality audio files, I really wonder.
I like the idea of informal very much, but toying with the idea of actually hearing what’s being said.
Most podcasts, or audio files are not made into words to read, and who has time to listen more than once or twice? Wouldn’t you rather hear it right the first time?
Anyway, it’s not that hard to set up a recording space: just turn off the fan and phone, close the windows and door. That’s pretty good.
A really good microphone that sounds clear on replay and takes care of the “popping” noise of talking. When I get one, I’ll review that one–research first and let you know. And on how to look after it, too.
Yes, well…here we all are at the dinner table yet again. Been on a mental / emotional holiday, if not also physically, back and forth on a couple of short trips to see the family.
Between Christmas and New Years has always been a bit of an inbetween time for me.
Before all this I decided enough is enough and sent for DrNatura (too bad there’s no affiliate product). Done five days now.
Called up my old email and I saw I hadn’t done a proper cleanse since late summer 2008. Perfectly pitiful. And I know better, too.
The kids hate it when I talk about parasites.
But I didn’t just make this stuff up. Look, they come in microscopically and they transform into full-grown “what-the” and live and play (and everything else) at our expense.
Really though, this temporary tent I call a body has to be light and easy to be an expression of poise and grace, strength and flexibility.
How can you expect the rest of life to line up if you haven’t put first things first?
Tomorrow step up to twice and much. Twice the results. Remember to drink water. And come to the Living Water, as well.
Happy New Year, and here’s to the health of your business and marketing: Cheers!
