Turner's Perspective

There is a new child living in our house. He looks exactly like the 7-year old who was living here before. He wears the same clothes and he sleeps in the same bed. But he's not the same child. Not even close. He's happier, funnier, more loving and more in contol. My wife wrote about these changes...

Your email inbox should be the greatest resource for blog post ideas. That thought is certainly not original to me. Many have said this. They say it because it's true. It's certainly true for me. The other day I received the following in an email from Anita Carrington: "How do I get the WidgetBox...

It's not about what you're doing. It's not about what I'm doing.It's about what you and I are doing right now. Like you, I didn't get twitter either. I was trying to make it something it wasn't and it's just not that complicated.  It's about the conversation. It doesn't matter whether it's here o...

As we walked around Whole Foods looking for organic versions of the stuff we usually eat, my wife, Rocky, incorrectly read the price on some organic chewing gum and I reacted to it in disgust. I don't remember exactly what I said, but it was something like, "That's ridiculous. Why would something...

When it comes to digital point a shoot cameras,bigger is not necessarily better, but wider certainly is. One of the first posts I wrote on ActiveRain was titled, "Sell Your Camera On eBay & Buy This One." That post was written about the Kodak v705, which, along with the Kodak v570, would still be...

Hope I don't have to do THAT."He posted that in the morning on April 27th. Then, a little over 24 hours later on April 28th, he post...

Once in a while I'm reminded of the value of stepping outside of my usual reading circles.Like most of us, I get into ruts. There are several dozen blogs that I read religiously and going to them has become more of a morning ritual than an awakening. I know what to expect from those blogs. They'r...

Jeannette Neerpat used Twitter to cry out for some help last night. She was having trouble editing the graphics she wanted to use in Brad Carroll's ActiveRain Custom Blog Builder. So I asked her to send me the graphics she was trying to use. As I guessed, they were not in the correct proportions ...

The Best Just Got A Little Better This video was shot with the Kodak v705 point and shoot. I'll add some higher quality video tomorrow and you'll be able to see it on my flickr page. The beauty of this embedded player is that I could choose to have no branding from Flickr at all. The current bann...

I awoke this morning to a Twitter timeline with a gem inside.Laura Fitton ( @pistachio ) had just sent out a tweet about TwitterLocal.net. She said, "twitterlocal.com is going straight to the top of my answer to the question "how do I get started on Twitter and find people to follow?" Her tweet h...
