Working Out with Your Treo?!?!

Ok, it was difficult for me to determine the category for this post… I mean, is it BUSINESS to get in shape or is it fun?

I think I need a “none of the above” category — but others may consider it “fun” so I’ll stick with that topic header.

Now, if you have a Treo 650 or an iPod Video (what I got my hubby for Christmas) you can now view workout instructions on your tiny screen. Continue reading

To Blog or Not to Blog — the Real Estate Agent’s Question – Part II

Last month we talked about whether or not a blog is in your business future. If a real estate business blog is on your horizon this month’s column will show you how to get started!

Blogging should be a joy, not a chore. Selecting the best blogging tools for your level of expertise is the first step. If you must wrestle your technology to begin, your chances of effective follow-through diminish.

Let’s face it… you are busy! You want to blog, you want to inform potential clients about local real estate issues, you want to keep a good “front line” as a resource – the place to turn – but you can’t afford too much time away from revenue-producing activities to do it. Continue reading

Holidays, Hope and Happiness — And An Appointment with the Stork

It’s been a good holiday season. The kids were all in for Christmas, we spent time with my parents, my sister and her husband. We spent time with Wayne’s parents and siblings and their extended families.

My sister had wonderful news, that I can finally share. She and her husband are expecting!!! I’m gonna be an aunt — by blood — after all these years!!! I don’t think there could have been a better Christmas present for my parents. I know there couldn’t have been a better one for me. My sis has sworn “no babies” for years. Mom and Pop had finally given up on her ever changing her mind.

So I’m gonna be an aunt!!! Continue reading

Treo 650 Boots Linux!

The folks at Grack.com have uploaded photos proving that the Cingular Treo 650 can be forced to boot a Linux kernel.

Sooo… if you are a true geek (and even geekier than I am), you can try to beat the rumored release of Linux for the Treo and take the do-it-yourself approach.

Personally, I’d rather wait until the bugs are ironed out a bit more.

But if you want photos…Visit here:

Proud to Have Bush as My President?!?!? Nope.

Ok, I have a “big brother” and his name is George W. Bush. Until recently, I was under the mistaken impression that my sister and I were the only siblings in our family.

Obviously, I was wrong:

When are the legislators in this country going to put a stop to this crap? I know my rights are continuing to erode by the nanosecond… and I know just who to blame.

It makes me ashamed to be a registered, active voter. It makes me ashamed of my president. It makes me ashamed of my country.

And, the real kicker? Paying taxes that foot the bill to smother my rights and invade my privacy. It’s bad enough to endure my rights being abused, while my president (yes, in lower case) defends his rights to abolish mine, but it’s worse to be billed for the service.
