Put Some Drive In Your Computer?

Technology Source No Comments »

If you know the song by Travis Tritt, that says to put some drive in your country. Then I’m here to tell you to put some drive in your computer. Not just any drive, but some IDrive in your computer.

The IDrive-E Online Backup is something that every computer needs to have. It’s a great way to back up all your important documents, files, or pictures that you might have stored on your computer. They are currently offering 2 free GB of Online Backup. This will also come with no limits to the amount of bandwidth that you might use. Any backup or file type restrictions will have no limits either. This is all very affordable and you can start for as low as $4.95 a month.

Computers are becoming just like radios and tvs; every household has one. They have become very useful tools for making our lives easier. Just paying bills or looking for a recipe online, is two of the simple benefits of having a computer. Now when we get receipts for paying them bills, or have a recipe that we really want to hold on to. It’s very convenient to store them on our computers. If something was to happen to your computer, your receipts and recipes could be lost forever. That’s why it’s important to have IDrive-E Online Backup for all the households. If you own a business, or run a business through your computer, then it’s a must have for any business. You never would want to lose those precious files that keep your business going everyday. Make sure you are protected and get all your important information protected with some sort of back up system. There’s no better way to put some drive in our computers, then with the IDrive-E.

Shrek the Third

Dreamworks Presents Shrek The Third

A movie that is great for the whole family is Shrek the Third. All of the Shrek movies do a nice job in targeting the adult and kid audience. Getting that fine line that will keep the kids entertained, and the adults interested is hard. The Shrek movies just keep getting it right, and there’s no telling how many more of these movies we might see. I would fully expect a part 4, after seeing the box office numbers from Shrek the Third. I wouldn’t rule out a part 5, and even a part 10, with the way these movies are drawing in audiences. The popularity of the green orge is going to be up there with Bugs Bunny when it’s all said and done. There might already be more kids now, that are familiar with Shrek better than the loveable wabbit with the “what’s up doc” line.

About 6 years ago on May 15th was when a Shrek Soundtrack CD was released, and it would eventually go double platinum. It was 3 days later in 2001 on May 18th when audiences around the world got their first taste of Shrek, through the Dreamworks view. Now in May of 2007 the third part of the sequel is taking audiences by storm. There is a star-studded cast in this latest release. Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Antonio Banderas, and Rupert Everett bring the cartoon to life for all to see, and seeing it they are. This movie might be hanging around the theatres for awhile, before anyone will have a chance to own it on DVD.

The Perfume Market

Consumer source No Comments »

What ever happen to just clean, natural air that we breathe in everyday? I am a fan of just regular air, if that makes sense? The perfume industry makes billions of dollars to change that air we breathe in. Now they are some nice smells out there, don’t get me wrong. There is also some perfumes that can give you a headache if you take in too much of it. I had a job appointment one time, to work for a place that sold fragrances. I spent an hour there filling out my application, and doing all the paperwork. When I got home that evening, I had a killer headache from breathing in all the different perfumes I smelled that day. I never did go back to that job, but I did hear later on, that it’s just a temporary thing. Most workers will experience headaches during their first week or two, and then they get use to it.

I like to dash on a little cologne when I dress up, and go some place nice. Maybe a real nice restaurant, or to church will be some place that I would go, to get a little cologne thrown on me. I don’t really go out and shop for perfume or nothing. I will usually just pick up some cheap perfume and it works for me. My nose doesn’t get any extra pleasure out of the higher-priced perfumes that are out there. I think some people just feel better, if they know they are wearing a real expensive perfume. I feel better with those extra dollars in my pocket. However, I think Mother Nature did alright with the air. I don’t have any problems with just taking in what she supplies everyday. Her prices are pretty cheap too!

Godfather Part Four

Blog Source 1 Comment »

Does that title grab you? It did me too. Unfortunately there’s no truth to the title. I know a lot of us love the Godfather Movies that were written so well by Mario Puzo, and brilliantly directed by the famous Francis Ford Coppola. The original one in 1972 with Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, and the other members of the Corleone Family, is one of the best movies of all time. The reason I teased you with the title, is because I was fooled too, when I seen a headline with that exact same name.

The GodFather Part Four is what Chris Matthews from MSNBC titled one of his blog post. He has a blog that is called Hardblogger. He wrote a story in Hardblogger about John Ashcroft, was setting up different scenes in the Godfather with it. So he just named the title “The Godfather, Part Four“. If anybody from Chris Matthews staff or Chris yourself sees my blog, could you please leave a reply or put my blog link in your Hardblogger Blog? I think that would be the least you could do for teasing me with that title. Now I realize I did the same thing with my blog, but my intentions were just to get the attention of Chris Matthews or somebody from his staff. So they would link my blog to theirs. It’s the least you can do for getting my hopes up about a possible 4th part to the classic Godfather Movies. I would love to see a 4th part to the series. I know it would probably be bad, but just a little something to see the Gofather Movies continue would be nice. Thanks Mr. Matthews, and I will be watching out for Single Source Writing to make an appearance on Hardblogger. Nice blog by the way!

HDTV’s In May For PayPerPost

Blog Source 16 Comments »

PayPerPost has made Tuesdays like a weekend day. It’s no longer just a regular-old day of the week. They have so much going on for bloggers to get excited about. I mean really excited! There are big opportunities in cash that you can take, or you have the HDTV’s like they are having in May. I just happen to grab one of these opportunities and it made staying up all night well worth it! The HDTV that I won was a BRAND NEW SONY 50″ GRAND WEGA LCD HDTV. I can’t wait til I get it! I just need to find a place to put the darn thing now. We use to own a large screen tv, so I know how much space they can take up. Wow! I just can’t believe PPP HDTV Tuesdays! Cheers to all the staff at PPP!!! I just wonder what they might be giving away in June? Computers? CASH? Cars??? Hey…….you never know!

Now I just wonder what I can watch on my new Sony TV? I think a good ol’ episode of RockStartup would do the trick. That’s the PayPerPost Guys doing their impression of reality tv. Then I have the NBA and NHL Playoffs that are currently underway, then football season isn’t too far away. Oh man, I can watch the Super Bowl on 50 inches of tv! I guess I know who will be hosting the Super Bowl Party this year. I guess I will have to start back blogging again, so I can have a little extra money for the snacks and all.

Well I knew PayPerPost was a good way to bring advertisers and bloggers together. I just never knew they could bring a man, a tv set, and happiness together so well. I will remember this day for a long time to come! I am really thankful to have met a good online friend that showed me all the ropes in blogging. If it wasn’t for him, I would still be wasting my time on the internet playing games and stuff. Thanks Jeff!

Purchasing Land That Will Be Ready In 10,000 Years

Marketing Source No Comments »

Is there anyway I could interest you in a piece of land in 10,000 years? If you think that sounds ridiculous, then you better check out one firm in Hawaii that is doing just that. Now volcanoes in the Hawaii region are making new land daily. Were talking about less than an inch though, is what the land in Hawaii grows on most days. So since the land is going to be there in the future, a firm in Hawaii has decided to start selling it. So for the buyers of this new land that will eventually be in Hawaii, they will just have to wait about 10,000 years to get their land. I’m sure the people that are buying this land will have great confidence that the medical world will be able to solve old-age in humans. There’s no civilization currently on Earth that has a life-expectancy of more than 100 years. I knew buying real estate was a long term investment, I just didn’t know it would be this long!

Buying Electronics Online

Technology Source No Comments »

It’s fun to go to the various stores and shop for electronics. I think we all like shopping in the electronics department. There is so many things that can catch our eyes in the electronic sections of department stores. The technology of gadgets has increased so much over the last few years. They are probably changing faster than you can get to the department stores to shop for them. There is a better way to keep up with the latest technology to come out. It’s by shopping for electronics online. It’s easy to do it this way, and any day through the week when you get off of work, you can check on the latest technology toys that are out there. So shopping on the internet makes a lot of sense, and can save us time too.

Abt Electronics has been doing electronics since 1936. They haven’t been online since then, because I don’t think they sold too many computers back in 1936. The important thing is that they are online now and have anything in electronics that you might want. A very big selection to choose from, if your looking for televisions, dvd players, portable satellite radio, digital cameras, printers, radar detectors, or even audio for your boat. They will have it at Abt Electronics.

This time of the year, they are probably selling a lot of air conditioners and home humidifiers. The air can get so hot and stuffy in the summer time, and you have to have some technology to battle the elements of Mother Nature. It’s great that we can have some type of defense against the elements of hot weather. Just like a ice maker for example, can help keep our drinks cool. I just wonder how they made it so many years ago, without the advance technology that we have today. Abt Electronics must have had some sort of vision in the 1930’s to start up a electronics store then. I would imagine most people then, would have had no idea just where we would be at 70 years later. Now I just wonder what the next 70 years will have in store for us, as technology continues to soar.

BlogCatalog Community Fundraising Event Challenge for Public School Teachers & Students

Blog Source No Comments »

Today and all this week is when bloggers will be spreading the word for a good cause. It’s to help teachers and students around the New Orleans area. Hurricane Katrinia’s aftermath is still very much alive around parts of New Orleans, and Louisiana. You can help this cause in two ways.

Help Public School Kids by Funding by Participating in a DonorsChoose Challenge. You can make a donation that will help us get closer to our goals. We have a $25,000 goal, and are hoping to blow that number away. If you can’t afford a donation, then help to spread the word with your blogs. Copy this post or make your own, and just be sure to include Blog Catalog’s link for the event. Blog catalog is the one that is getting this charity event together. My hats off to Blog Catalog and their efforts!

To make a a donation, you can go to the DonorsChoose.org.

Here is more info on the event:

The BlogCatalog buzz experiment started by Mona was a huge success. The real message of the experiment was that the BlogCatalog community can come together & accomplish amazing things.

Since the Buzz Experiment, the BlogCatalog team has looked for a way to pull the community together for a Charitable cause that will benefit Children. It is amazing how challenging it was to find a way for the community to contribute directly to a charity without there being a tax to BlogCatalog and without us having to collect the donations.

Today however we found an organization called DonorsChoose.org that makes it really easy to hold a Community Fundraising Event and we are really excited to announce the NEW BlogCatalog Community Challenge for Public School Teachers and Students

Let’s come together on May 28th. and prove that bloggers can do a whole bunch of good and that we aren’t limited to chronic complainers, contrarians or people who just want to hear the sound of their own voice.

Let’s Prove that a LARGE Group of Bloggers Can Come together For a Lot of Good!

The purpose of the BlogCatalog Community Fundraising Event is to come together and raise money for our public schools. We have set the goal to $25,000. Hopefully we can blow this goal away and raise far more money. If we do we will have set a precedent that will enable our community to do a bunch of good for other causes in the future.

So What Should You Do?

On Monday May 28th, write a blog post asking all your readers to make a donation.

Smoke From Wildfires

Blog Source 1 Comment »

Is there any firefighters or people familar with smoke effects in the house? I was just wondering if there was any health factors, that come from breathing in smoke from wildfires. We have fires burning in South Georgia that is blanketing the whole state and parts of Alabama, Tennessee, and North Florida in wildfire smoke. Yesterday, the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies was playing a baseball game at Turner Field in Atlanta. The area was filled with the smell of fire in the area. There was also a lot of smoke around, and it was making everything look very smokey.

Now the strange thing, is just exactly how far these fires are away. This is very South Georgia that these wildfires are burning. So your talking about the whole length of the state that the smoke is traveling through. It’s incredible when fires at the North Florida and South Georgia Borders could effect the state of Tennessee. I just hope no lingering health effects will come from the fires. If there is any, it could reach millions of people that are being affected by the South Georgia Wildfires. No relief anytime soon, as the whole area is in a drought, and no rain forecasted for the next 5 days.

PPP Direct Comes To PayPerPost

Blog Source No Comments »

Bloggers will now have a new way to generate money with their blogs. PPP Direct will allow advertisers to find what a blog owner wants for their reveiw in money terms. Advertisers that are interested, will be able to click on the PPP Direct badge that will be located on the blogs. So they can make a direct offer to a certain blog. This is a great new way to generate extra money to your blogs!

Several of PayPerPost competitors do this service in a similar fashion. However, they will take a 50% markup, and in some cases 100% markup. So this means the blogger doesn’t get as much of the advertiser’s dollar. PPP Direct is going to allow bloggers to keep 90% of the total money that is being paid by the advertiser. So you will get to keep more of your money from your reviews.

If you are already a postie at PayPerPost, then just look to add the widget now at PayPerPost. If you’re not a member of PayPerPost yet, then go sign up now, and find out more about the new PPP Direct. You will be able to set the price for what you want to charge, for each review on your blog, with this new PPP Direct.

Touring Yosemite

Social Source No Comments »

One of this years vacation destinations will be Yosemite National Park. We recently moved from the East coast to Washington State and I have always wanted to travel to Wyoming and view Yosemite Park. The one that I have read about is that it is better to stay within the park and camp there as the lines to get in and out of the park can average a couple of hours. So several things that we have learned in our online hunt for things to do and things to avoid are:
Great adventures are available all year, from snow boarding and snowshoeing in the winter to hiking and swimming in the summer. They even offer the Wawona gold course and an ice skating rink at Curry Village.
Plan to visit the Mariposa Grove which is located 36 miles south of Yosemite Valley. This is the largest stand of giant sequoias (also known as Sierra redwoods or big trees) in Yosemite. The road is not kept or plowed in the winter so cars cannot access. The Grove is accessible through the summer months. In the winter it can be accessed if you ski or hike in to view the natural beauty of these rare and disappearing resources.

Those looking to incorporate a great self awareness workshop should check out The Lotus Path Workshops. These are a series of spiritual workshops that take anywhere from 90 minutes to two hours and can help you connect with your self. Some of the objectives is to get you to realize how the past can influence the present and how to make the right connection.

Free Message Boards

Social Source 1 Comment »

There are several places you can look for a free message board, or discussion board. Adding one of these to your existing websites, is a good tool for keeping people interested in your promotions. GoBoardz Free Forums is an excellent place to start a new message board at. It is free, and they don’t put a lot of useless interface with their boards. In most cases, people don’t use the extra interface anyways, so if you’re looking for a good, simple message board. Then GoBoardsz would be a solid choice in starting your own message board up.

I have started a few message boards up myself. It’s fun when you are the admin on one of these message boards. You get to add in all the topics, and control any users that might not be using your message board in a civil manner. Now using one of these as a promotional tool is just one advantage. You can start one up just for fun and personal use. Maybe starting one up about your local sports team. You could choose a professional sport, or maybe the high school that is in your area. Your favorite tv show is another good start to a message board. I’m sure there are many people that already have an American Idol discussion board. The subjects are endless, on what you could discuss, if you had your own message board. Just check out GoBoardz to see if they meet your needs for a free discussion board.

Casino Stocks on the Rise

Finance Source No Comments »

Even with the high gas prices, it hasn’t hurt the gambling industry much. Pretty much across the board, there is a sharp increase in the casino stocks. Now some of the stock advisers haven’t got on board this casino rally yet. So it might just be a small run that these casino stocks are on. There’s not a lot of recommendations for any of the big name casino stocks.

One factor is possibly Hurricane Katrina. It really hurt a lot of the casinos that were around the Gulf of Mexico. Most of them, if not all are back up and running now, and people are flocking to the Gulf Casinos like they did before Hurricane Katrina struck. Some of the bigger casino companies that are located in that area is the Isle of Capri, MGM Mirage, Pinnacle Entertainment, Penn National Gamming, and Harrahs Entertainment. All of these companies took big hits from the hurricane, and now that they are back up and running again. Could be the reason that casino stocks are on the move now. So if your wanting to add a casino stock to your portfolio, then it looks like a good time right now.
