a hint

Just a part of what is coming soon

a bit if a mystery.
what is coming to 67 7th St. this week, before the main occupant heads to Colorado? (it had better arrive here)

hmmmmm more hints to come.

got little done today. and even if I wanted to go to bed early, I can’t, have to pick up daughter at 1am from her job. John has to leave for work at 5am, so he needs to sleep. and we all know that since I work from home, I can naturally just sleep late. oh well.

Why Worry? It’s Completely Unproductive

I have always said this. But following your own advice is often harder than it seems. So, with all the problems i have right now, I am just going to take care of business as it needs to be taken care of, and not worry. I am getting tired of sleepless nights. Of course, I’ll be buying some Sapphire this afternoon to help with the non-worrying. And to help with sleeping.

What me worry?

Rock The Bike!

yes, part of the new vision is to be on the bike. again. I brought my old presta pump in from the garage the other day. I have to get a new rack. and some grocery bag panniers. and change the pedals out to clips and straps, no TIME cleats. But… it has been rolled out. I miss my bikes so much and I had it hit me in the eyes recently, that it was part of what has been wrong with me for so many years now. thru all the troubles and jerks. The bike was missing. It’s coming back and I don’t care how fat I look on it. I am riding again.

you didn’t notice. the banner has not changed. I am looking for the psd on it, and when I find it, I will just remove the date on it. I like this design alot. I may even consider it for the new kidoimages site. maybe.

started on Saturday. real humid and hot. REAL humid and HOT. Dog was OK saturday, but yesterday he was walking in and out of the bedroom and looking at me all the time, like “hey! You! What is problem here?” After a bit I realized he wanted the AC. So mike went and got it, and dog was all happy. Me too. Slept nice. Today dog did not want to go back in room, so… I turned it off for a while. yesterday I was out around 2PM, 98F noshitsherlock. today, the weather thing on google said 102F. Like… IT WAS COLD JUST 2 DAYS AGO!

oh well, here is summer

seems that every time I have one of those super productive days, I have a few days of NO production. It’s gone and done it again, but, I have been busy, I got a proposal done and got my office re-arranged so that I am back to my corner desk with sides so I can put down a book and read it while working etc. and the Mac is on the desk where I stare out the window. Just have to move the old pc over here and hook that up for when I feel Ineed it. and then I am good to go.

finally also bought ecto. I was using it and found the insert amazon link into it, and that is perfect for BS, I can sell a book while blogging. one of the ways to make some money. yeah…

Oh, all those who said they were running right over to buy a t-shirt after the DJ love-in, yeah right. one. ONE. and she is a newbie and probably figured I’ll give her brownie points for doing so.

One post I am going to write, “how to use the quote feature in your email program” for BS. I swear to god, some folks be just plains “un-intelligents” when its comes to being savvie.

just put it in the window now. the office is too stuffy, and I did not want to use that as an excuse. Now I can use the fan noise as one. Or the fact that my caterer is waiting on his proposal for me to get money from him, which I need desperately, like yesterday. but no, I will hunker down and get that database installed and the shopping cart installed, and the updater installed, and get the categories setup and some products entered. Goal is 10 products tonight. There… I set a measureable goal, and I won’t go to bed until it is done. It’s going to be a long night.

I moved one of my domains to a new host. I paid no attention to the fact that this here blog for some reason was using the domain for it’s databse hosting. dreamhost works like that, no “localhost”. The blog is down for a day. I wonder. I get answer. stupid is me.

I mean, really, this is a “fad”?

The main reason why FrankelBiz doesn’t get as much activity as it once did is due to the disctraction of better-funded-but-less productive “social networking” sites that do little more than waste people’s time.

FrankelBiz continues to provide real business results, which is why I’d like to see more FrankelBees jump in. We still get great participation on Monday morning Free Clinic chats.

This is not the first time we’ve seen a misguided fad like social networking displace Frankelbiz from the minds of people. Don’t get me wrong, social networking is great for social purposes, but I have yet to see anyone who can demonstrate the business ROI from it. When FrankelBees do business, you see real action.

That’s not my opinion, it’s real fact!

My question to Rob is “have you honestly engaged in social networking? ” If you did, and you have this “fact” then maybe it was “how” you engaged in it. It is a different animal than regular networking. It is all about the customer, not about YOU. Please, don’t state as fact that social networking does not produce business just because it did not produce for you and your “old” way of marketing. Limited views of things produce stagnation, and that is WHY social networking has taken off. You have the WRONG definition of “social” dear. It’s all about community dear. That is “social”.
