Valentines day. A day most women expect flowers from their husbands and boy friends. Some men procrastinate and wait until the last minute. Others like me don’t. I ordered flowers and candy from @1800flowers more than a week before Valentines day. I know that V-day is an extremely busy day for flower delivery. You would…

Scotch Pop-Up Tape Dispenser – why haven’t I bought this before now?
Ran out of tape this morning so I headed to Office Depot. When looking at all the different types of tape that are available, the Scotch Pop-Up tape dispenser caught my attention. I bought one and man do I feel like an idiot for not having bought this before now. Up until today I still…
What motivates you?
Last night I couldn’t sleep. Too many things turning in my head… finishing a bathroom remodel project that I started, starting a new website idea that I have brewing in my mind, switching hosts for another site, holiday marketing ideas for my eCommerce site. Overload like this causes sleepless nights. I occasionally get really motivated…
Public transportation and water conservation… two things Europe is good at
On my recent trip to the Czech Republic and Austria there are two things that were reinforced to me… Europe is good at public transportation and water conservation. I had previously experienced this when I traveled to Italy and Paris a few years back, but this recent vacation definitely reinforced it. Public transportation: The two…
How would you advertise or market this?
I recently took a great vacation to Prague. What a beautiful city! I don’t think I’d be interested in living there, but I could visit it again. If you love old historic sites, churches and castles… Prague and the surrounding towns are a perfect place to visit. During one of our days in Prague, my…
China’s undervalued currency… it’s not the only problem

Disappointed with UPS ~ UPS does not offer carbon neutral shipping to WorldShip users
Update: Thanks to Evan from UPS @EvanAtUPS along with Elizabeth from UPS who commented below, I’ve been informed that UPS does plan to add the carbon neutral shipping option in the next version of WorldShip in January. I suggest UPS tell their reps who answer email to give out information like this when asked. If…
Our redesign using Headway is complete
My redesign of this blog is just about complete. I still have a few minor modifications to make, but on the whole it’s done. I used Headway to do the redesign and I’m extremely happy with how Headway functions. Once I became familiar with the visual editor in Headway, it made the design process go…
It’s redesign time!
I just got back a few days ago from a great vacation… pics will be posted soon (after the redesign). I caught up with my ecommerce sites email and orders. Now it’s redesign time for this blog. I’ll be using the Headway framework as I had previously mentioned here. This redesign will probably take me…
Startup Visa ~ visas for immigrant entrepreneurs who are creating new companies
The other day I caught a rerun of the show “30 Days”. For those unfamiliar with 30 Days, it’s a 60 minute show done by Morgan Spurlock who did the documentary movie “Super Size Me”. The show puts either Spurlock or someone else in a place they would not otherwise be… and they stay there…
