Who Moved My Cheese?

I’m sitting on the commode and one of the cats grabs the doorknob and is able to jiggle it loose (Yes, Mr. Ninja is smart and I will soon post a picture). Then one of the dogs completes the job. He poops pops the door open (Freudian slip).

 

Here I am reading (what else do you do when sitting on the commode with the lid down?). Mr. Q (the Jack Russell) pokes his nose and one eye through the cracked doorway. Then, not to be undone, Mia (the miniature schnauzer) shoves her whole face through the door. Even though the three animals invade my privacy (they love their momma), they understand that something is not right.

 

Why would mom be sitting on the commode with the lid closed reading a book?  They sensed something was amiss. What was it? I was reading “Who Moved My Cheese” by Spencer Johnson, MD.

 

Go ahead and google the book. It is a great read and the principles transcend to large organizations, sole proprietors, or those struggling with business decisions or life in general. Life is too short so savor the day.

 

Cheers,

Blog Savannah Unconference 08 lessons learned from a NEWBIE

I attended with much enthusiasm the Savannah Unconference and here are the top 10 things I learned.

10) Flickr isn’t what happens when a candle has reached it’s end.

9) I must be ready with a camera. Next year I’ll whip out a disposable camera when a photographer aims a camera at me.

 8) I equate the RSS icon with the XM radio icon. All I could think of each time the acronym RSS was mentioned were the signing voices for each XM radio station mood.

7) Blogging may be a vehicle for introverts to find and speak their voice.

6) There are bloggers who want to get paid for what they do, and bloggers who want to have fun.

5) WordPress is free, Typepad is fee.

4) Still protected by the 1st Ammendement except for blatant defamation and inciting violence.

3) You can’t sell products- However you can blog, blog, blog away and hope the reader gets the hint.

2) My ponytail was crooked and my roots need a touch-up. Thank you photogs for posting pictures on flickr and making me realize that I need a hair appt. asap.

1) There are so many code words (html, usb, trackback, cache [not cash], moblogging, vlog, blog,) my head is in a FOG and this blogging is a new psychological construct.

These lessons from a Newbie in the blog world.

 Cheers,
