Twitter

Do you know what Twitter is? The best way to describe it is a text message for the internet. You write something in 140 characters or less, and send it out. It is then transfered to everyone who “Follows” you, which means every time you write something, they can read it instantly.

Even though

This Depression 2.0 is doing every bit of good for the note industry as it is bad for the rest of the economy, I’m getting peeved.
A lot of our clients own notes as a symptom of what happened during the housing boom- corruption. Now these same people, the smart ones anyhow, are selling that note. [...]

New style, New Poll

Changed the style of the blog. I do this quite often so don’t be surprised if it happens again soon. But for now, I like the blog how it is. It gives more room to roam and view past posts and goodies like that. [The same thing was on the other blog style but most [...]

Direct Mail: High % Response rate?!

Here, take this weed-whacker

I was recommended some “landscapers” this past weekend. That word is in parenthesis because its really a family that does odd jobs on the side for extra money. In today’s economy I don’t blame them.

Intimidation

I had to drop by an attorney’s office today for this new marketing campaign I created. It was about 4:36p and I was hoping to catch someone in the office. To my surprise not only was someone still there but the building was 2 stories with a full parking lot.
Now as I pulled in a [...]

Sound familiar?

I have a personal project going that I’m excited about. So I planned the whole thing out and purchased my materials from online and Staples. I downloaded some fonts that match the theme I’m going for and am all around excited to see my results.
Part of the project involves balloons. The prices of mylar balloons are [...]

New phone!

I won a new Blackberry from ebay last week for less than $50! $47.50 with shipping if you want to get technical.
Now how do you work this thing?!
