Here’s To The Crazy Ones…

January 22, 2009

This is one of my favorite adverts from Apple. In light of the rough times we saw in 2008 and in celebration of the wonderful changes 2009 brings our way I’d like to share this with you and invite you to be Crazy Today.

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

These are a few of My Favorite Things…

March 4, 2008

A few of my favorite things…

Thought I might share a few of the sites, services, products and such that top the personal MFT (My Favorite Things) List… at the moment.

1. Google411: Need directions, an address or a company… like 30 seconds ago? Then you need 1-800-GOOG-411. I love this service and it’s at a price you can’t beat. FREE.
2. Pandora: Online radio based on MY or preferably YOUR preferences not some Morning Zoo DJ. Find great new music based on stations that YOU choose. Very Cool indeed and as my wifey says… “It’s like I get to do the DJing”
3. Moo Cards: These cards are, to use my daughter’s phrase, “SO CUTE”. I use them for all kinds of fun projects. Big Ups to our friends from across the pond at Moo for a job well done.
4. Yelp: Looking for a good auto mechanic, wanting to know where the HOT new restaurants are in your hood or just looking to get your hair did? This is the place to post and peruse user generated reviews.
5. George Lange: This is what I watch when I want a smile and to remind me why I love photography as a creative outlet.
6. Lynda.com: When you need to get your learn on… Give Lynda at try.
7. AliceQ: Chowhounds already know Alice and if you want to get the low down on the up side of San Diego food I suggest you bookmark her site pronto.
8. The Brary: If my library card had a mileage plan I’d have endless round the world trips for life. Reserve books, movies, cd’s and audio’s for FREE and have them sent to the library closet to you. It a thing of wonder. I Love The Brary!
9. Saving the best for last… Click HERE for our family’s newest addiction.
