JoeNetworks @ JRA

It is amazing what's available to help us reach our goals. The web is going to video and yet there are vehicles that get us there without high-cost video production variables.

A long-time associate, George Lottermoser, attended this JoeNetworks @ JRA event and took some still shots. He laid them into a timeline. We sat down later, did a little interview and came up with this wonderful little vehicle for extending the JoeNetworks brand and message.

Yes, this is exciting for JoeNetworks, but now even more exciting, your resume does not have to lie in the pile, your 1.5 minutes of fame* can be endlessly replayed, and your elevator speech can go all the way to the top floor.

We are definitely going to do more of this. How about you?
Contact David White - YourMessageDoctor@gmail.com or George@imagist.com to find out how to quickly put this to work for you.

* Yes, I know it used to be 15 minutes of fame. Things have changed. You ready?

P.S. Lottermoser had his own interesting perspectives on how, when and where to use the tools. Go here: http://www.imagist.com/blog/?p=317

Your Hard Drive Will Fail

This just in from GLi ....

the drive went out to Gillware Inc in Madison yesterday 1300 - 1600
buckaroos to get the data off and of course had to buy another drive
to put it on (200) plus 50 to ship the dead one - Lesson: Assume all
hard drives WILL fail.
Develop a very regular back up strategy.
Assume that the backup strategy has more importance and higher
priority than the work itself.

Of course I thought I knew that and had a good strategy.
But my strategy failed for the most recent (important active files)
work.
I attribute the strategy failure to my being more involved in the
work than the backups.

Hear my loud voice - YOUR HARD DRIVES WILL FAIL

Back up often

All the recent electrical storms required many power-downs. Many (too
many) occurred during normally scheduled backups. When I powered up
to get back to work the backup program would tell me that I needed to
readjust things; but "I" had to get right to work figuring that the
next scheduled back up would catch it all up.

Learn from my hard won lessons.
