It’s that time of the year again when we reflect on the year and be thankful for the family and friends that we have. Personally, I have a lot to be thankful for – my family is doing great as we are expecting the newest edition to our family in a few months. So, this has been a whirlwind year and I am starting to prep 2911.
In the next year I will be offering seminars to help people start their own blogs / websites using WordPress as well being secure online. I will also be resurrecting a few of my projects such as SportIntro amongst others. In all honesty I would have them done this year but with the new job and the news of a baby my mind has been preoccupied. I will say though being apart of CultuerMASH has helped me creatively.
Not to mention getting the Google Chrome CR-48 is really going to help me out this year. I’m going to be putting this Netbook to the test so we’ll see just how good it works.
In the end remember to spend time with those you love and care about. All the blogs and web “guru’s” mean nothing if you don’t have anyone to share that with. So, Merry Christmas and I hope to see you in the new year.

On Friday evening at the end of my office party my wife was picking me up she brought me a little surprise from the UPS store. It was the official Google Chrome OS Netbook!
It was just last week I received an email from Google allowing me to sign up for the Pilot Program to test out their new OS Netbook. Then Google showed the world their new Chrome Web store and their OS system. Next thing I know:
OMG I just got the #google laptop!http://twitpic.com/3er4n8
Merry Christmas to me!
So, this weekend I’ve been playing with it and I have so it is an adjustment. Think of a netbook that has NO desktop – it takes getting used to but its nice. The startup is instantly and the whole overlay of it relates to that of an Macbook. Its lightweight and the keys truly stand out. The webcam is great however I found that it doesn’t want to work on Facebook…which I find hilarious after their recent rivalry.
Nonetheless, I will say my son loves it due to the Chrome Store having some great game apps. It’s clean and easy but takes some getting used to. If you can call this update #1 because be sure there will be more coming.

The power to connect is the power to help so when Carla and Shana asked me to be a part of CultureMASH I did not hesitate.
What is CultureMASH?
A #SocialGood Initiative
My wife asked me this and the best way I can explain is giving the voices to the voiceless. To help non-profits and surrounding communities to spread their message. So many times small business and non-profits don’t have enough income to justify marketing expense. Yet, they don’t fully understand the power of it. It can be a lose-lose situation.
How CultureMASH helps
A team composed of people in Marketing / PR / SEO / Web / Video / etc – you can’t help feel excited. Each member has their role and in it helping each other. So, when a non-profit is struggling to get their message across CultureMASH comes in and helps. These people know twitter – they know facebook – they know social media…but do they REALLY understand?
CultureMASH breaks it down – helping them cultivate their message. What’s the point of doing it for them? We aren’t going to be around forever but their impact will.
I urge you to take a look at CultureMASH and be on the look out for what happens. It is going to be mind-blowing.
A little self-promo: I did the website so if you are interested in what I can do for your then be sure to contact me ASAP!
