One Small Tweet For a Man
Twitter has been in the news a lot of late. What with unparalleled grown, the first person to get a million followers (I still have no idea who this guy even is), the arrival of Oprah and the 300,000 people who came with her (most of whom will have left just as quickly), there have been a lot of milestones reached. For me though, the most significant Twitter news happened to day – Tuesday May, 12 2009. This was the day day that Mike Massimino,... [Read More...]
Notes while on the road
I don’t know about you, but this happens to me all the time. I’m driving and I have a great idea that will really help the business. I see a truck that belongs to a company that seems to be the perfect potential customer. There is a sign on a building & I think that I must check this out. Listening to the BBC, I want to check out the website of the program to learn more. I speak to someone on my phone and need to remember the appointment... [Read More...]
Upgrade WordPress with StudioPress
I’ve been using Brian Gardner’s WordPress themes for most of the time I’ve been blogging and I have themes from three of his generations. Our Labeling News and UniqueDay blogs as well as Totally Incorrect are all based on Brian’s themes. There are good reasons for this. First, the quality of Brian’s themes is always top notch.

Appigo – Todo iPhone App
My iPhone got a little bit better to use as a tool yesterday. I’ve written before about how I use my phone as the centerpiece of my strategy for staying in touch and keeping organized. A big part of this is using a task management application to help keep track of all my projects. My project management is handled by Toodledo, a cloud computing application where I keep all my projects, to-do’s and notes. One of the great things about Toodledo... [Read More...]
Voyager Pro – Bluetooth Headset
Over the years I’ve tried a lot of Bluetooth headsets. I do a lot of driving and need to talk on the phone for a lot of that time so it is important do be able to do this hands-free. As more states are bringing in legislation that prevents using a handset while driving this is becoming really important. The only BT headset I’ve ever really liked was an old Plantronics 510 which broke on me a few years ago. The 510 was never going to win... [Read More...]
David’s Quick Blog Tip III – iPhone
I know that a lot of our readers like to visit using their iPhones. As an enthusiastic iPhone owner myself, I’m totally aware that the mobile version of Safari isn’t always perfect when it comes to reading blogs. Enter a Canadian company, Brave New Code. These guys are clearly wizards when it comes to Wordpress and they have developed a plugin called WPtouch. This is simple to install and it serves up an iPhone (or iPodTouch) friendly...

How I stay in sync
At any given time, I’ve got a lot going on. As well as working hard as part of the Winco Identification team, I have the UniqueDay wedding photography business, my wife’s beauty business and other projects to keep on top of – not to mention family things as well. As a 21st Century guy, I’m able to keep everything reasonably under control, using some of the tools that are available today. The one constant thing is my phone –... [Read More...]
David’s quick blog tip
Being a 21st Century Guy, I wanted to link a lot of my stuff together – which in the case of this blog meant importing my Twitter feed. The only problem with this was that the blog’s RSS feed became overrun with my Tweets since they greatly outnumber blog posts. This wasn’t a problem for long – the WordPress community has already solved just about every potential issue. The answer in this case is a plugin called Advanced Category... [Read More...]
