For the Heck of it!
No set topic, no set niche – just for the heck of it!
I wrote about the PayJr Visa Card about a month ago and how I thought it was a good deal for parents and children alike. Here is some more good news – you don’t have to have an ugly card if you don’t want to. Not that I ever really paid attention to the looks of my credit cards but I know some people do, especially kids.
PAYjr Visa Buxx recently launched (July 11th) with their PAYjr Visa Buxx Competition card design contest. As part of the launch anyone and everyone is eligible to upload and design a card. The public will vote on the cards and prizes include MacBooks, Iods and even a Wii. I know a lot of teens that would love to own a Wii.
The best part of this contest is that you will be able to earn royalties if your card design is purchased so if you have any graphic design skills at all hop on over the the PAYjr Visa Buxx website and upload your entries (you can enter as many times as you like) into the contest.
Geez, you would think I was some kind of Hitler or something after the comment I got a few minutes ago…
I like comments, I like the “do-follow” movement and I’m happy to help people improve their PR and traffic by putting their website URL into the URL field of the comments section… That’s what the “do-follow” movement is all about from my understanding… maybe I’m wrong though and I’m asking for guidance here…
I do have one pet peeve and that is people that do not use a name, handle or alias in the name field but instead put the name of their website there, for example “FOO ACME PRODUCTS ONLINE ORDER TODAY!”… I just hate that and if that makes me some kind of bad person then so be it. bah humbug to the lot of ya! hehe
Now I want to know, am I really being unreasonable by asking people to use a name instead of a website name in the name field? Hell, I don’t care if it is your real name or not, but FFS how about having some common courtesy and decency when you visit a personal blog…? this is not a FFA links page ya know…
Please tell me, am I out of line here? I can take gentle corrections but if you think I’m being an a-hole go ahead and tell me, I really want to know…
Edit: The bad outweighed the good. I removed the “do-follow” plugin. *sigh*
Maybe there is hope for me after all with the help of graphic organisers to get my thoughts (and bookmarks!) in order.
Way back in the dark ages when I worked for my local civil government I attended several seminars regarding organization not only for work but for my personal life as well. Several of the concepts I learned in my seminars are now being shown over at Graphic.org.
Something that has stuck with me that I learned in one of the seminars is the value of brainstorming. Brainstorming is described as “creative thinking by a group of people designed to generate a number of ideas to solve a given problem”.
Now if I can figure out a mind map to organize my bookmarks I’ll have it made. 
I think I still have just about every bookmark for every page I’ve saved the last 5 years. I’m at the point now that I may as well have no bookmarks at all because when I decide to go back to a page I’ve saved I cannot find it for the life of me! I suppose I’ll have to buckle down and go through and start deleting some of them.
I’d really like an online bookmark manager but I don’t know of any that fit my specifications. I tried del.icio.us but it was more complex than I wanted plus I really don’t care to know what the whole world is bookmarking. I can barely keep up with my own.
I tried FURL and don’t remember why I stopped using it. I think I just got tired of logging in or maybe it was that I was required to add yet another toolbar to my browser. On an side note that’s why I don’t use StumbleUpon. If I’m required to install a toolbar to use a service then I just don’t use it.
Now, where is that site I know I bookmarked last night! arrrrrghhhh…..
