Hey everyone, just wanted to let you in on some good news that came my way recently.
Almost on a daily basis I visit my friends site RyanWade.com and it just so happened that early in September he was having a contest and giving away Items that he had around the house that he was not using to the winners.
The items were a wireless keyboard and mouse, a digital camera, a blackberry curve cell phone, a pair of sunglasses, and a linksys router.
All you had to do was comment on his blog about why you felt as if you needed or wanted these items and come October 1st he would pick the best winners.
I applied for all, but what I REALLY wanted was the new linksys router.
Ryan later decided to do a twitter contest on WHY DO YOU USE TWITTER. It just so happens that I use twitter and already I am a active follower of Ryan so this was easy. This was my tweet I tried this one and WON IT!
mitchcostilow @ryanwade I use twitter to get more people to recognize my sites. 09:56 PM September 19, 2008
This landed me a $50 Amazon.com Gift Card from Ryan. Thanks Ryan!
I got an email from Dave Ramey yesterday and he had a 3 step plan for the credit crisis. I decided that I would put it on my blog to try and further its exposure.
From the desk of Dave Ramsey….
We are at a crucial time in our country’s financial history. Congress defeated the $700 billion bailout plan on Monday. However, they are revising it and trying to push it through again. I’m supporting an alternative plan that will keep our nation from going even deeper in debt, and I’ve been on TV and radio all week telling people about it.
We need everyone’s help!
Follow the instructions below. Together we can change history.
Pray for them to resist a spirit of FEAR and to embrace WISDOM. Even if you don’t like them or agree with them, pray for them and tell them you are praying for them. There is a spirit over this problem that must be broken. Also, most of the media personalities are afraid as well and that is affecting their reporting. Pray for fear to be removed from them; they are making this worse.
Send The Common Sense Fix to your Representatives and Senators and tell them how you expect them to vote, and that if they put this nation in $700 billion of debt, that you will vote them out. It’s their job to listen to us! (Whichever presidential candidate or political party that champions this plan from their leadership down will likely become the next president. That is because this plan fixes the crisis while going along with the wishes of the vast majority of Americans.)
1. First, read this page(PDF)
2. Next, copy the info on this page (text file)
3. Send it to your Senators and representatives by copying and pasting the text in the web form you’re sent to.
*Note: If their websites are down, that means we’re making a difference! Keep refreshing the page until you get through. You can also go through Congress.org, though we don’t endorse this site.
Forward this email to everyone in your address book and tell them to urgently follow these 3 steps TODAY. The more people we have supporting this and contacting their elected leaders, the more likely we can turn our economy around!
Recently I wrote a post about what a blog was. Now I am writing about what is seize the page. What is it? Why the name Seize The Page? Well coming up with a domain name is actually very hard. Almost everything you can think of is already taken. I think I read once that all 1,2,3,4 letter and number combos are already taken. Can you believe that?
See for yourself over at www.pcnames.com Just try anything there and you will see that its taken. Then for fun go to the site. 80% of the time the site that you WISHED wasn’t taken is not even being used! Its just sitting there squatting hoping someone like you will want it bad enough that you will pay thousands for it. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Continue reading →
Hey everyone! I promised myself that I would post a article on my blog every day for 30 days to increase my search engine ranking.
Well today I am very busy an I can not provide any good content today, unless you want to see more pics of Jack the Dachshund haha. Don’t worry I do have plans for that later plus some videos maybe.
Anyways this is a short and sweet post, nothing fancy. Continue reading →
This is an old story actually, but I decided to write it and share it with all of you that visit my blog.
Remember my blog is a public journal of my life activities and other interesting things, so you never really know just what I will blog about.
Ok moving on… I was out of town some time ago doing some computer work for a client.
While I was at this persons home, upstairs with the client, he recieved a phone call from his son.
I could tell from the sound of his voice that he was getting some bad news of some sort.
We locked eyes with each other waiting on the call to end he would surely tell me what was happening.
Before the phone call ended I heard the guy ask his son “did it hit the car?” Continue reading →
