Facebook’s mass hysteria fake.

2011 October 5th 5 Comments »

Facebook has been overwhelmed with an unfounded rumor of food baited with nails found at dog parks. It’s not true. Over 15,000 Facebook members shared the story with their family of friends, and over 12,000 have commented on it. The vast majority believe it.

The real ironic fact behind this is that it’s being spread by a self-proclaimed dog-lover: Eric ‘Pack Ethic’ Bellows. He introduced it by saying: “New trend at dog parks, nails in pieces of cheese, if you take your dogs to dog parks, please be careful!!” * Continue reading »

Early this morning, I heard tapping at my front door. When I answered it, there was no one there, and nothing out of the ordinary. So I went back to what I was doing. Shortly thereafter, the tapping began again. Continue reading »

UPDATE Aug 13: I have come to realize that even though this was successfully executed on my PCs (Macs), even some Mac browsers do not display it correctly.

So, I’m including a few static images for those who see something other than what this thumbnail shows. I’ve also included a reduced view of the entire image above … which is a smidgen under 3000 pixels wide.



The 360°-version of this photo appears twice on GOOGLE EARTH and GOOGLE MAPS.

One is looking due north … the other due south.

Using Firearms to Say ‘Hello’

CONTINUED FROM HERE

First off, regarding arms in general: the only safe arm is one not holding a gun.

If you find yourself face-to-face with a person with a fire arm, remember: drop and roll … them, not you.

This is the handgun that I used in the previous post. Look closely at the side view of the gun, then take special note of the gun’s front view. The reality is this is a virtual gun — it must be ‘loaded’ onto an iPhone or iPod Touch — CLICK the handgun above.

Apple’s got themselves a pretty sweet system. To sync your iPhone or iPod, you must launch iTunes. Right there in iTunes is the iTunes Store, featuring more and more things entertainment, everyday. And it’s tough not to take a quick peek while syncing starts up.

Most recently, I’ve been paying attention to the apps, which Apple neatly sorts by what’s most popular, both in the paid apps and free apps.

The Art of Success Series — Voice Mail Greetings

2009 July 10th 1 Comment »

It seems as if there’s a politically-correct way of doing just about everything, and for many things, especially in business, it’s the best option. My business phone line receives calls from long-time customers, as well as many calling for the first time.

For those, it’s very important to project a comforting dose of professionalism so as to get that positive first impression.  If you haven’t yet, please listen to my outgoing greeting by clicking on it now.

I know, I’ve been asked many times why I would simply give away such valuable insight. Call me crazy, since I do. But I understand your need to reciprocate, so please buy one or more of my nicely framed prints, conveniently located in my gallery store. It’ll make you feel better.
