Even if the iPod is off (or maybe it isn’t), having earbuds in your ears during a conversation indicates the other person isn’t important. This is where headphones have an advantage. Just pull them down around [...]

  A game… worrying the movie makers? According to canada.com, Hollywood needs to keep an eye on this game’s mega release.

Those who already spend [...]

  How often do you get an e-mail from a prospect who asks, “I need help with my web site’s content” or “I need five articles on such ‘n such topic”… “How much do you charge?” Web content — one page takes less time than five pages. Even on page can vary depending on the page’s content. [...]

  Liz Strauss on creating a successful blog with community. Long transcript (we deafies thank you), but great conversation. You can download the PDF for reading a bit at a time. Fail frequently. Edison didn’t fail 1000 times, he found 1000 steps to creating the light bulb. Also, think [...]

  In 2000, I earned a certificate in Internet Technologies in hopes of becoming a Web designer. Working on the blog today reminded me why I changed my mind and went into writing instead. Based on advice (you know who you are — I don’t want to put your name in here again and have people thinking [...]

  Don’t let the wave of fashion-style games that have come through the ocean of casual games affect your judgment of the latest fashion entry: Zen Fashion. Instead of a running a business style game play, it fashions a game of match three along with a journey through Asia’s world of fashion. A new Japanese fashion designer [...]
