So of my two best subjects history and science I think I’m going to lean more towards History. Why? Well even though I was leaning towards science at first I think I could have more fun with History. I could be very interactive and make the class more of a living history class where they got to participate with weapons, armor, and other aspects from the historical time periods in question. It’s about time learning was made fun again. Of course with science it could be done very similarly, but to me a lot of high school teachers make science hands on… not many make history hands on.
I want my students to know what it is like to shoot a trebuchet, wear a hauberk, and swing a sword. Too often kids get bored with history because there is no interactivity, and they cannot relate to the time period. In a world of computers, txt messages, IM, and email we forget what it might of been like to be on the front line surrounded by enemy and waiting on a horse and rider to carry your message of distress. Yes, I think history could come alive again for a few students.

Recently I’ve decided to put a few of my more valuable websites up for sale. Well 7 to be exact… there’s a few that I need to just let go of (since they have no real value as far as name and no PR either). And about 3 others that I would gladly sell, I just need to get some PR on them and/or finish the development process. There’s a few of my sites that I will be retaining no matter what, those being this site, Archmaille Designs, Cody Sortore, KC LAN Party, and a few others just for the page rank if nothing else. I’m taking a little bit of a “career” shift here though and any sites that I do keep will be primarily for the continual income from various outlets such as P3, Yahoo! Advertising, Jewelry Sales, or whatever sentimental value a site may hold for me. The sites I’m selling are all PR2 or higher, one PR4 as well for those interested I can give you a list.
Anyways, it has been a fairly fun run as a website developer… it’s time to start moving on and doing something a little more meaningful. I’m going into teaching, probably high school level, and even that is going to be a few years since I want to time it to start when Connor starts school. I’m thinking science, or history… obviously the two subjects that I know most about and have a passion for. I’d say computer science… but I’m just a hardware geek when it comes to that I don’t get into much other than PHP programing and a little bit of light design work.
Coming up on the holiday season my business starts booming from about now until November, and then picks back up in January before Valentines Day. For years I’ve been filling out my own envelopes and address labels to attach to packages I send out. Recently I started looking for pre-printed address labels that could help me streamline the mailing process. I love designing and making jewelry… I don’t love filling out hundreds of envelopes and taking them out to be shipped off to their new owners. I haven’t made any decisions yet, but I’ve started to look at 123print.com and so far I can say I like the prices, love the designs available… and really only need to choose something that looks professional, but yet goes with the theme of my business now. Can’t wait to start saving myself time and energy this holiday season on my packaging.
As a webpage designer an someone who runs my business off of my home computer I’ve tried to reiterate time in and time out how important it is to have backups of your information. Sometimes keeping running backups isn’t that feasible though. Personally I run RAID 5 on my computer so that if I experience hardware failure I don’t lose everything I’ve got. There are some things that are beyond the repair of even RAID 5 though, such as dual hardware failure, or items that were deleted either by accident, or that you thought weren’t important and turned out to be! That’s why you need software for file and email recovery. Being that my emails come directly to me on my desktop with Microsoft Outlook it is even more important that I keep my computer safe. But things still happen and sooner or later I will need Outlook Mail Recovery software. Most businesses small or large need some sort of Microsoft Outlook mail recovery program. If you run a business from home, or if you have a large business with lots of computers and lots of important emails being passed around every day it is very important that you have something that you can recover your old or lost email documents with!
When you’re married with a 5 month old child, and living on a single income (that being of a web designer / jeweler / blogger) you realize the value of Coupons really quick. Now I’m not one of those people who can afford to buy things just because they are on sale, but if I’m getting something already why not save a little money? That’s why I like CouponUs.com because I can search out the coupons I want/need at the moment and am not dependent upon what others feel I need.
I’ve been looking around for a while at getting a new cell phone. I’ve been very impressed with my cousin Jordan’s new Blackberry, it has all the features that a techie on the go like myself needs or wants. Everything from ADOS (attention deficit o0o0o0o shiny) distractions such as games and Facebook access, to the ever so helpful GPS and maps system. It would also allow me to take business on the go so I could check email and send updates for my site from the road. Any phone I get really should have a camera equipped since I don’t always have my camera with me, but do always carry my cell phone. Big problem is I don’t know a lot about Blackberry phones they’re still a little bit new to me. The other option I was looking at was a touch screen phone such as the Storm, or I’d look at the iPhone but it is only on the AT&T network, and we all know AT&T is a big heaping pile of fail… so that is a major no go. No matter what I go with I just need something with Bluetooth capabilities, and something that can bring my business to the next level so I can take it on the go.
Are you in debt? Afraid of drowning with bills? Do creditors call you day and night trying to collect what you don’t have? Have you made mistakes that have annihilated your credit score? Unsure of how to get out? Do you think the system is set up so that the rich get richer and the poor get left behind in the paperwork and laws? If you’ve answered yes to any or all of these questions then my friend what you need is debt management help. Debt consolidation and elimination is easier than you think, and it could be right around the corner. The reason that most people believe that the rich continue getting richer and the poor are left to drown is that it’s true. What you need is someone in your corner to help you navigate through the paper trails of debt management. Anyone can get out of debt, and even profit from the system that took advantage of them… so why aren’t you? If I told you that you could get out of debt and start profiting from good debt management in as little as 6 months would you believe me? Of course you wouldn’t, you’ve been in this situation for years, but I’m telling you that it’s true. You can pull out of debt and get control in no time… all you need is the right people fighting for you.
