Web Design for You.

Published May 6th, 2008 in writing | No Comments »

As a blogger of note, ok so the of note is only in my head but let’s move on shall we? As a blogger (Happy?) I am always reading content blogs, and now a design blog.

Stylish Design advertises itself as a website “founded and operated by Robert and Andrei. Working in the art and advertising industry for over eight years, along with his team of well experienced writers, share insight into the world of art, culture, and design.”

I enjoy this blog because of its mixture of content,and programming. I want to learn more on the programming side, and every bit of information I get is useful. Especially if it is offered in an easy, understandable way. As I am not Mr. Programmer Guy at this point.

I also liked the ease of mobility through the articles, and the way they were layed out. This would be a blog to read to increase your knowledge of blogging.

Namaste.

The Perfect Car

Pierce, the youngest son, is always talking to me about cars. He has not had the best of luck with vehicles. His first was a Ford Ranger. That promptly broke down and cost him a bunch of cash. His next vehicle was a geo priszm. Also known in our family as “The Car That Won’t Die”. It is a 1992 or 1993 geo that has been in MLW’s family since that time. And it won’t die. The engine in it is as strong as the one in my Tacoma.

Now the boy owns a Tiberon. Loves it. But I called him the other day to tell him that I had found the perfect car for him.

A 1979 Checker Motors Company Marathon. Yeah, that’s right. An old Checker cab. It is perfect as the boy lives outside of Detroit. The car is built like a tank, runs off of a small block V-8, and has a huge back seat for all of the kids he is always hanging out with. He can also charge fares from all of his free-loading friends.

I like this idea.

Him? Not so much. Kids just don’t have the vision that their parents do.

Namaste.

I can’t think of anyone who doesn’t love giveaways. When I owned my own business I had shirts made that I sold with the name of my business, and contact info on it. Sold them for cheap, because I was too cheap to give them away. Promotional Apparel is a great way to get your name out there to the buying public. But shirts aren’t the only thing you can have your logo put on. Think of all the various promotional items you probably have in your own home. Key rings, hats, cozies, balloons, bags, shirts, jackets, balls, frisbees, and pretty much anything you can think of.

Promotional items are a great way to get your name out there. Using Gimmees dot com is a way to manage the purchasing process in real time.
