How to Make a Time Lapse Video With Your DSLR

hmmmmm interesting. I might try something like this. looks like a creative time waster.

This is cute

when I picked up Laur yesterday from ultrasound appt, she said that doc says it is a cyst of sorts, unorganized, and benign, cancer is usually organized. so, that was such a huge relief for me. It’s been forefront on my mind for the past 3 weeks and I’ve not been able to really concentrate on things at hand, like work. Says she probably injured her pectoral muscle, and it caused this tear/scar tissue. The “cyct” seems old, and it should with time go away. wants to see her in 6 months for another checkup, unless she feels it getting larger.

man… whew!

yeah, just feeling kinda good. 4 days in a row now. trimmed another minute off of the total time. felt real good. I did go out later than yesterday and Sunday. I was always better at things “athletic” in the afternoon, and maybe that was kicking in. Had steady laps too. which is a matter of focus I guess.
I did go up to the attic and checked out the old gym, still works. Tomorrow I may do some work on it, and give the heel a rest. It was great this morning, but now it is screaming at me. Matter of fact, I felt pretty pain free this morning. Unusual these days. So we’ll just have to see in the morning.
I am hunkering down and doing some work today. I did go with lauren to the herb farm, and bought a few goodies. Dill, rosemary, hot and spicy oregano, says it is greek oregano, and a red sage plant. We now have to decide where the herb garden will be located. And hope that the deer in the neighborhood are trailer trash and don’t like fine dining.

Blue Man Group was a great performance. Good art, and a good time. One of the nice things about having the casinos here. The only nice thing actually.

Friday night there was a big fire here in Norwich. An apartment building/s went up in flames.
This is what it used to look like:

Now it looks like this:

ULTIMATENYG: NY Giants Top 10 plays- 2007 Season

as they say here, it does not get old. I was smiling about the win this past week. It still wamrs that very deep part of my soul that grew up with the Giants and Yankees. Always have been a fan, always will be a fan. Go blue!

And send it to prospective clients when they ask about “Why can’t I find my site in Google” after only a week of the site launch, or for that matter, at any time they ask it.

Why Plan?

Optimization is great. Search engines are great. Networking is great.
But for the most return today, you must do more than just have a website
and optimize it. You can no longer just throw up a site, submit to
Google, and sit back while the clients come. For maximum success, you
must plan effectively - what to do, how to talk most effectively to
*your* markets, what complementary marketing you will integrate with
your website efforts, and so on.

You can refine and strengthen your overall marketing plan, and then
define how best to construct and use your website within that. Just a
few of the points you need to think about are:

- Who are you selling to?

- Do they already use a product or service like yours? How do you know?

- If so, how are you going to win them over?

- If not, how can you persuade them that what you offer is something of
vital importance to them?

- What is the most information they want? E.g. it’s NOT the ‘History of
the Company’ that we so often see leading off a website menu!

- What tone of language will they most respond to? Corporate? Folks next
door? Scientific expertise?

- A website can be just a brochure — useful for background information
when you refer people to it. Or it can be everything to your business,
both the most important marketing tool and your only sales channel.
Where on that spectrum should you locate your site?

You can readily see that these are important and powerful questions —
and these are only a few of the centrally important points that need to
be considered. You can dramatically increase the power of your website
by thoroughly examining such considerations — in other words thoroughly
*planning* what you are doing. And since most of your competitors likely
have not and will never carry out such planning, to do so gives you
immediate and ongoing competitive advantage.

If you want to climb Everest, or become a national-level athlete, brain
surgeon or concert violist, you would start with a plan. We can readily
see, in these cases, that the chances of success are enormously
increased by following and implementing a plan. The same is true in
business, and the same is true with your website.
