My online mate Seamus has a wedding band in Northern Ireland. He was telling me he was once booked to play a wedding in North Island – apparently, the guy mixed up the Ireland and Island bit. Took him a few days to figure out the across the world trip might not pay expenses! The […]

Super Bowl Ads Worth A Look
This year’s Super Bowl ads are worth a look – check out what companies are spending their millions on. Take a look at the Super Bowl ads here. (I love the “I’m Good” one from Pepsi.) GoDaddy (the domain name registrar) has a couple more ads this year, but unlike their first year, these ones […]
Women’s Tennis Continues To Rob Event Organisers & Sponsors Blind
Women tennis players must have a giggle to themselves as they go out to play in major events like the recently completed Australian Open. I’ve just watched the most boring, poor play in the women’s final and it got me thinking how unjust it is that the women get the same prizemoney as the men. […]
I Did Not Have Sex With Tania Zaetta………Either

Get Google To Do Your Work……For Free
I’ve mentioned before on this site the importance of doing keyword research before you start thinking about how to get your client’s web site to the top of the search engines. I had a neat example the other day – I have a client who provides helicopter rides on the Gold Coast. Should we target […]
The Next Thing To Do When You Are Rejected
Here’s a simple idea I mention in my Web Design Business Kit and one we can all easily use. When you’re proposal gets rejected the very next thing you do is something very few people do. Say “Thanks for rejecting me.” Yep, as soon as you return to your office/home/lair shoot off a “Thanks for […]
