Just One Post

A lot of people have blogs. But most people don’t.

I think you should. Even if you only have one post in you.

Having a blog is pretty daunting, especially if you don’t like blank paper and are the sort of person that hates falling behind. I can imagine that the idea of posting 50 or 300 times a year is a little bit nuts for many people.

But what if there’s just one thing you need to say, but you can say it clearly and well and in a way that hasn’t been said before? What if you’ve got one great blog post inside of you, and, even better, you’re willing to update that post as you learn more and gain more insight?

An entire post about a certain kind of fossil. Or the misuse of a certain word. Or about a key difference between two kinds of bluetooth…

Why not?

Revive la revolution!

It’s not often that you find a company with an environmental conscious, run by wonderful, friendly business people. I’ve recently had the pleasure of working with Revival Flooring from Woodstock, Ontario. Great product, great guys.

Virgins Unite

I recently purchased a Virgin Mobile phone. I figured I’d like to contribute to Branson’s billions, and it plays some pretty cool “baa-see-bahhhh” music when it starts up. I’m a sucker for baa-see-bahhhh”. Plus, it had pretty good pay and talk rates.

But there’s a couple things that I just can’t stand about it. Here goes:

1. The voice prompt “you’ve got 3 messages” is this smarmy voice, and it’s programmed to say things like “you have no messages…not a single message”. The voice is too slow and too casual. It’s cute and different, but if I’m trying to get my messages, I don’t want cute.

2. There’s an energy saving dim function on the screen. Great! Save my battery. Great feature! However, when I go to top up my account, there’s a series of screens I have to click through and wait to load, and the energy saving kicks in before the next screen loads. So, sometimes by the time I get to the next prompt, I can’t see what the screen says. To wake it up, I have to hit “OK”, which sometimes means I select the wrong option on the next screen. ARGH! How hard would it be to fix this? NOT VERY. Have the energy saving function turn off when the user is in mid process.

And, We’re Back!

Well, all the house selling craziness is done. I’m back in the saddle.
