Robin’s Bootcamp in Nashville

April 2nd, 2009

I’ve been in Nashville for just over 24 hours now. I arrived yesterday for Robin Robins’ Business Building Bootcamp.

We started out kind of slow. This morning I felt like I was having a nightmare that I couldn’t wake up from. It was like one endless stream of infomercials. Had I bought everything that people tried to sell me today I would have spent several thousand dollars. Read the rest of this entry »

Keeping it R.E.A.L.

February 14th, 2009

I attended Robin Robin’s “recession proof your business” teleseminar yesterday. I went back and listened to the recording a second time because there were so many good ideas that my 3 pages of notes didn’t quite cover it.

I just now registered for the 3 day event.  I decided I couldn’t deal with the dissappointment if it sold out before I registered!

Here are a couple of definitions I heard on the teleseminar:

A TECH business is:
     Tedious
     Exhausting
     Chaotic (and)
     Hard

Whereas a REAL business is:
     Rewarding
     Easy
     Attractive (and)
     Lucrative

Ha!  I want to turn my TECH business into a REAL business, and that’s why I decided to register.  If you want to listen to the recorded teleseminar CLICK HERE, but please - if you decide to buy Robin’s Toolkit, either write “Technoid” as your referral source or use this link to buy.

A Change has come to Washington

So we have a new president.  I’m hopeful, inspired and proud to be an American.  I spent the last 20 minutes or so looking over the new White House site (www.whitehouse.gov).

Here’s a snippet from the Agenda section about technology:

President Obama and Vice President Biden understand the immense transformative power of technology and innovation and how they can improve the lives of Americans. They will work to ensure the full and free exchange of information through an open Internet and use technology to create a more transparent and connected democracy.

Overall, I’m impressed with the site.  There’s even a blog!  Take a look around - it’s refreshing.

Windows 7

I’ve just started testing Windows 7 on an AMD Athlon system with 4 gigs of RAM.  The video is a bit underpowered, but everything else seems fine.

Holy Cow!  How time flies.  I’ve been saying to myself lately that I need to get the blog rolling again ;)

OK… New Years Resolution #1 - update this blog at least once a week in 2009

If you’re a computer consultant who needs more clients you owe it to yourself to check out this “Red Ticket” offer to get Robin Robins’ Technology Marketing Toolkit.  This stuff works!  If you order before September 19, 2007, you get over an iPod nano packed with 72 hours of audio training on attracting new clients, Google marketing secrets, newsletter marketing and much more.  How cool is that?!

If you happen to be in northwest suburban Chicago, I’d appreciate it if you don’t buy this kit. ;)

If I were homeless…

August 12th, 2008

If I were homeless I hope I could have it this good.  Not that I’m saying he’s lucky or anything, but at least he has something to stimulate his mind:

A dog and a laptop and you can forget your plight for a little while. I suppose there are places where he can recharge his battery and I’ll bet he can find wireless access all over the place.

I’m not sure why, but when I Stumbled onto this picture, it moved me. The picture is a link to the original as I found it on the web - no credits, no clue as to who, what, where, or when.

Free Microsoft Exam

July 31st, 2008

OK, so the product isn’t even out yet, but it’s free, so I decided to go ahead and sit for this exam. I don’t stand much chance of passing, but figured I’d give it a shot anyway. This is a 4 hour test on EBS2008 and there are no study materials available that I’m aware of. There wasn’t a study guide for the SBS exam when I first took it either and I somehow managed to pass that one.

If I have time tonight, I’ll download EBS and start playing. Are you feeling crazy enough to join me and take the free exam?

Here’s the link with instructions on how to get it for free….

It’s only through prometric and only for a limited time.  I signed up for the last time-slot on the last day of the exam.
