Why Thinking Backward Is Best

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

I received this from my father (don’t know who sent it to him), and I almost didn’t listen. However, curiosity getting the better of me I clicked the link in his email (whereas I’ve just posted the video below to make it easy for you).

Here’s the email that came with the link:

A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward. Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite.

This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant. Make sure you read as well as listen…forward and backward.

This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old. The contest was titled “u @ 50″ by AARP. This video won second place. When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause. So simple and yet so brilliant. Take a minute and watch it.

(If you have a good monitor and a great graphics card you’ll be able to read along. However, even if you cannot see the words, listen with your soul wide open.)

Now It’s So Easy To Make Your Camera Wireless

Friday, January 15th, 2010

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Eye-Fi. All opinions are 100% mine.

As a follow up to my previous post introducing you to the new Eye-Fi, I’d like to reiterate some of the many reasons this little gem needs to become part of your digital picture taking and the definite centerpiece to recording your photos and videos, and also introduce you to bonus features and a FREE card offer!

First the rave reviews… Time Magazine actually called it the “best invention” of the year, and Wired.com gives it a huge thumbs up!

Next here’s something I’m sure someone in your household can relate to (it might be you)… You know there’s always that one (or two or more) people in your household happily snapping photos or making videos of everything from birthday parties to sunsets to the kids doing funny things in the backyard (or if you’re more business oriented, documenting items on the job). The “unfortunate” part is, if your family is like mine, after taking all those shots, they don’t know what to do next.

Enter the go-to person who is expected to unload the camera and get it ready for next time. Often, like at our house, this type of request comes at the most inconvenient time when the designated “do something with these” person is expected to drop what they (you) are doing and assistance them.

That alone should be reason to get yourself the Eye-Fi wireless card, but there’s more…

If you recall, I let you in on the speed at which the Eye-Fi wirelessly gets your pictures off its card, organizes everything, and adds the bonus of you actually sharing your photos and videos even without having your computer on!

Now I’d like to also mention that their Pro X2 stores up to 4,000 photos or 3 HOURS of video with its 8 gigabyte SDHC capacity. (For those understanding true “geek speak,” it also uses Class 6 supercharged read and write speeds.)

Another great thing is you can stop lugging your laptop around when you travel – be it to another country or just your relatives house to the holidays. The reason? You’ll be able to upload your videos and photos through “Eye-Fi hotspots” at airports, in hotels, and even from McDonalds! Or less “exotic” places like from a friend’s or relative’s computer when you visit. Now, that’s a huge plus!

As a reminder, here’s another look at just how very easy the Eye-Fi is to use:

And, before I finish bragging about this new social media sharing, you should know that Google is offering a FREE Eye-Fi 4 gigabyte card just for purchasing 200 gigs of storage space. The price per year (from Google) is tiny for the amount of storage space you receive, and your FREE card arrives within 2-4 weeks!

So don’t let your digital camera sit around gathering dust – and don’t let the same happen to your photos and videos. See the benefits for yourself at EyeFi.com!

Home Sweet Affordable Home Buyer Tax Credits

Monday, December 28th, 2009

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Coldwell Banker. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you remember, 2009 provided first time home buyers with tax incentives. The idea, of course, is to get our economy moving again, and with home prices at all-time lows, those who have been saving for that “it’s all mine!” home were (and still are) in a prime position. The government was set to help you into your first home.

2010 promises even more with the interesting news that there are 2010 Homebuyer Tax Credits available! And the best part is that these homebuyer tax credits now extend to help even more people (not just the first time buyer). Here is what’s new: (more…)

Gravy Your Guests Will Truly Enjoy

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Club House. All opinions are 100% mine.

With the holiday season upon us, whether you celebrate or not, large dinners and small will be served up this coming Friday.

Turkey is a tradition with ham and roast beef taking their turns on your table I’m sure. However, I cannot remember a single dinner I either made myself or was invited to where gravy did not take center stage.

We put gravy on just about everything, don’t we? It’s so versatile! :)

So, if you’re in desperate need of help, you will definitely (more…)

How To Get Paid For Your How To Knowledge

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Today, I’m happy to bring yet another potential source of income your way. But first, I must give credit where credit is due, so thank you to Mkcoy, a friend at BlogCatalog for putting us on to this money making resource.

Publishing (and getting paid) on eHow – How To Do Just About Everything looks extremely promising for everyone.

Ask yourself, “What is it I know ‘how to’ do and can explain to someone else?” There’s got to be tons of knowledge inside your head that you can share with other people. And no, this isn’t just for bloggers, so ANYONE looking for ways to pull in revenue online should check out eHow, too!

Here’s a link to the eHow Frequently Asked Questions page. (more…)
