We’ve all been there. Waiting at the car dealership, waiting at the dentist, waiting on the soccer field for the kids to finish practice. So much business yet to be done before you can call it a day, and yet it appears unseemly to break out all the necessary equipment from your black bag – laptop, cell phones, camera (just in case young soccer star suddenly scores a goal). And it always happens that when you do break out all your techno-paraphernalia because you expect a good hour wait at the dealership, a mechanic comes out to announce that you actually need a part that will have to be ordered in. Time to pack up all your scattered belongings again.
Now imagine the same scenarios, but this time you have a phone that not only allows you to make calls, send texts, use the internet, but is also equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard, a 2MP camera with VGA camcorder, a music and video player and Multi-Media messaging (picture & video).
The qwerty flip SANYO Incognito™ SCP6760 has all of that and is Stereo Bluetooth® Capable & GPS Enabled. The price is very reasonable ($129.99) and pairs perfectly with the Boost Mobiles $50 Monthly Unlimited plan which offers unlimited talk, text & web with no contract.
All the technology you need is literally, in the palm of your hand. Sweet!
There’s nothing like the ease and freedom of being able to go anywhere, knowing you have access to all the tools you need for work or play as close as your pocket. No need to waste any more precious minutes out of your day. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. With the right kind of smart technology, you can get the most productivity and pleasure out of every day.
Okay, this is an easy one — especially since so many of you who read this blog are Okies. Can you identify the person described below?
He was born in Indian Territory, later known as Oklahoma, in 1879. Like most entertainers at the turn-of-the-century, he got his start in vaudeville telling jokes and doing rope tricks. He made fun of the rich in a newspaper column and starred in early movies. He died with famous aviator Wiley Post when their plane crashed in Alaska in 1935.
There is no prize for getting the answer right, other than the satisfaction of knowing that you are “Soooooo” smart.

“There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area we call…web hosting.”
Okay, so web hosting isn’t exactly The Twilight Zone. Nevertheless, it is just as mysterious a realm to many of those who have a real need to investigate and understand it.
I do believe that I have made nearly every mistake a blogger can make. Some blogging mistakes are relatively small – you simply acknowledge them and move on. Others, take quite awhile to overcome.
One of my first and biggest mistakes was made right out of the box. I could not comprehend why anyone would pay for web hosting when there were a number of reputable and reliable companies that do it for “free” – Blogger, WordPress, etc. My mistake was in looking at this topic in terms of “cost” rather than “opportunity costs”.
The decision you make about web hosting, and even more critically about ecommerce hosting, will have a tremendous effect on your search engine traffic, online reputation, revenue potential, and the amount of enjoyment you get out something into which you are investing serious time and mental energy.
I strongly advise you to avoid the mistake that I made. Get started right with your own domain name and web hosting arrangements. You may choose to avoid this decision because you find the whole topic confusing – a kind of Twilight Zone. But I encourage you to invest a few hours reading some online articles on web hosting, talk with bloggers you respect, and make a thoughtful decision.
Time for another discussion question. ”
“If you could wave a magic wand and stop any one thing, what would you stop? Why?”
Do you think that framing the question as what you you stop rather than what would you “want” or “ask for” results in a qualitatively different response? Do you think your response is less self-centered and more outwardly focused?
Does this question have practical implications for the way we live our life? Would asking different questions result in a different focus for our life? A different worldview?
