here is something cool fromt the google friends newsletter
Google Sidewiki, a new

hmmmm…
“Success comes from:
1) determining what you will NOT do, writing it down in stone and sticking to it.
2) determining the very few things you will focus on/do and never giving up no matter how many times you fail miserably at them”

I love Jazz music. When I was nine years old my dad bought me an old beat up Alto saxophone from a man he worked with who was a pro jazz musician by night.
Thus began my love affair with Jazz.
I took lessons for awhile (with a crazy instructor that almost made me quit) and took band class in school. In high school I joined the marching band (playing mellophone), concert band (on french horn), and played sax in the JAZZ band. And man was that fun!
(I also learnt to play trumpet and can improv on piano)
In my Uni. days in Tokyo I played some duet gigs with a friend from Indonesia who could play melody and a simple bass line (at the same time) on the guitar (he was a killer guitar player!). I also taught beginner saxophone to some Japanese people on the weekends and took advanced lessons from an ace Japanese Jazz saxophonist who plays often at the Tokyo Blue Note.
Yeah, I like Jazz.
I also like Jazz because it drowns out distractions whilst I work at my main bread-winning activity in life, creating websites. Other coders like Ma.tt (creator of wordpress) also swear by it (listening to music) as a concentration tool.
So, for all these reasons, today I was wondering…. Is there any public domain jazz available free? (I’m a bit miserly)
And Yahoo Answers provided:
and I found a site with audio files! RedHotJazz. It is also a smashing website because it deals with pre-1930 Jazz, the origin of the music (and lesser known groups).
I’m on cloud 9!
here’s a song to get you started
I am moving more everyday to the thought-camp that time cannot be managed, only actions can be managed.
This post is not going to delve too much into that though. I am simply purging my binders and trying to discard or digitise their contents.
So, here is the link (for possible use later), Managing Time and Stress
I am still going through my binders and purging/digitising them.
Today I came across a full print out of the hard copy of pluginprofitsite.com. Now why I printed the entire thing out is anyone’s guess. I don’t know, maybe I was at work and printer-happy. Maybe I was interested in the offer? Maybe I liked the marketing copy of the webpage?
Anyway, I printed it and it is here staring at me…
Time to get rid of it.
I have another website, LocationFreeIncome.com where I talk about creating a mobile lifestyle where one can work and live anywhere.
In keeping with that goal I am currently digitising my binders (and also my notebooks.
To do this I am planning to have the contents scanned, and so I am looking for a good scanning service.
I found a promising one today, ScanCafe
Florida, the place I grudgingly call home, is a major retirement center. We have more old people than you, we’re number 1!
Japan, one place I’d rather call home (and I did for three years of Uni.), has an aging population.
This causes me to wonder if there might not be some opportunity here to convince Japanese to retire to Florida Condos…
Being that I can speak Japanese and deserve/don’t deserve money as much as the next man it seems to me that this could be my opportunity.
Anyway, I was wandering about the internet and found a website that reminded me of this thought
The English have such a global mentality.
You know your clients (and for the small business client = boss) are driving you crazy when you breakdown and “need” a dose of Dilbert….
I don’t know how long Wordpress has had a job listing page but today I found out about it and wow!
with all the wordpress-related postings on other freelancer sites like elance.com I am not surprised wordpress decided to add it.
