T.G.I.F. & U.F.O.’s / Hi, I’m Max &

Uni & Sage have ask me to tell you that they have;

Gone Fishin'

They don’t know when they will be back but they hope you all have a great week-end and see you later at…

Mobile Phone Tracking

You know, according to how you look at it this could be a really good thing or a really bad thing. Personally when I first came across it, the really good things entered my mind and then after thinking about it for a while I could see that it could have it’s down side too…according to what you’re doing at the time!

I was made aware of this site that can track a GSM mobile phone using Phone Tracking Satellite System within meters all around the world.

The system is based on repeater triangulation, it tracks mobile phones using GPS and GSM technology and they guarantee that their free service works so well that if they can’t provide you with accurate information, within their maximum margin of error, then they will go so far as to pay your rent or mortgage for a month, (maximum $2,000.00).

As I said, I choose to see it as a positive thing. If you happen to have a hurt, lost or kidnapped loved one and they are lucky enough to have a mobile phone that uses GPS and GSM technology then this just be the answer to both of your prayers.

The mobile phone tracker was first put into use to help 911 responders track any connected phone in the world and now it’s available to the general public.

There is an approximate maximum margin of error and that is 10 meters in Europe and the U.K., 25 meters in the U.S.A., South America and Canada and 50 meters elsewhere in the world.

Want to check it out for yourself? Then go here, select a country, enter the phone number of the phone you want tracked and click on the button to start searching.

Satellite GPS Locator

Remember, if you are going to try to use this for locating someone, the system does not work in countries that do not have GSM networks.

That’s it for me today! See you back again tomorrow for more…

Free Photoshop Tutorials

If you are interested in learning Photoshop then check out video sites like YouTube and MetaCafe. They offer video tutorials on Photoshop basics, photo effects, layers, photo retouching, tips and tricks, Web Design and much more where you will be able to see the techniques actually being done which is great for learning quickly and for dummies like me where you actually need to see something in order for it to make sense!

It is 2nd Easter here in Holland today so the Easter bunny, Uni & I want to wish everyone a very Hoppy 2nd Easter!

Easter Around the World

T.G.I.F. & U.F.O.’s / Making Rover Over!

Now I do not EVER want it to be said that I don’t love my pets! In fact I love all animals, but I suppose after reading this story, that maybe I don’t love my pets enough because there is something that I find very bizarre about this story!

If nothing else I would not keep the hair that I had combed from the carpets for years and years…I not only don’t understand why anyone would do that but where on earth would I put it?? And I also could not wear the same thing over and over again for 12 years either…and that’s only the beginning!

But I suppose that is what makes the world go round…everyone on Earth seems to march to a different drummer!

Making Rover Over!

That’s really it for me this week! Have a great Easter week-end and see you back again on Monday for more…

The “How To’s” to Stop Wasting time Online!

It is amazing how much time many of us waste every day while we are online. I am probably one of the worst. I have my mind set on doing something very important and if I need help I “Google It” to see if I can’t find the answer then a couple of hours later after my eye has been caught with 50 other things I finally realize that I had set out to do something that of course it has not been done yet and then the entire circle begins all over again! Sometimes it is even the next day before I get around doing what I started out to do originally!

But there is help out there to help us stop wasting time online if we really want to and it comes in the form of four Firefox extensions and one desktop app to help you keep track of the time you spend online and they even give you reports so you can watch out and make efficient use of your time by cutting down on wandering around sites that are of no use.

LeechBlock can be set to block websites from loading in Firefox.

TimeTracker tracks the amount of time you’ve been browsing around.

8 a Week is basically the same as the first one only it has more powerful options and provides graphs that display the various activities versus the time you’ve spent on them.

MeeTimer is a light activity tracker that keeps track of the visited websites in any given day, records total time, and groups them into purpose-based categories.

And Rescue Time is a desktop program that helps you to understand how and where you spend your time while browsing Web or working on your PC.

I don’t know about you but I am pretty sure that as bad as I am about wasting time online I need all of these!

For more information on these extensions you can visit the Websites or go to:

Free Education 4 All!

Did you ever have the craving to become a world famous author but then come back to reality and think “well that’s not going to happen, I don’t have the education or know how to do that”?

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, salaried writers and authors typically earn between $34,850 and $67,820 a year. Annual earnings for a writer does vary though depending on how many pieces the writer publishes in a year and where the work is published.

Many of us have that itch to become writers and authors, just look at the number of bloggers out there, but not all of us have the time or in fact the money to get a quality education what with our families and jobs demanding so much of our attention and time. Sometimes we feel that the education boat has passed us by.

But you will be happy to know that doesn’t have to be the case anymore.

There are many top Universities out there that offer Free writing courses Online and if you’re not interested in becoming a world renowned author there are many other courses on offer at these Universities also, such as Web design, computer programming, foreign languages, bookkeeping and accounting, entrepreneurship, business education and the list goes on.

If this sounds like something that you would be interested in then follow this link for a higher educated you!

Yuwie; Paid Social Networking

This post is for anyone in the world that has not heard of Yuwie yet…and I doubt that anyone out there on the Internet hasn’t heard of Yuwie, but in case you haven’t, here goes!

Yuwie is relatively new but hitting the Internet by storm. It is like a continuous social networking party to the masses much like MySpace only with a twist. It is also the first social networking Website that pays it’s users to do what they are already doing! Anytime anyone views your profile, blog, photos, rates you, or joins under you then you get paid.

Now of course I personally don’t think that anyone is going to make a killing by being a member of Yuwie, although many claim that they receive a decent amount each month, but if you are into social networking or you have valuable information that you want to get out on the Web Without paying for it, then this just may be the place for you.

Yuwie also offers everything that all of the other social networking Websites offer you, such as customized profiles, blogs, photos, videos, clubs, friends, referrals, (you also make money off of your referrals activity too), and more.

If you haven’t already joined Yuwie then here’s your chance or if you don’t know what I am talking about and just want to check it out to see if it may be something you’re interested in then go to:

That’s all for today folks but I’ll see you back again tomorrow for more…

St. Patrick’s Baaack!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Erin Go Braug!

What shall I say about the Irish?

The utterly impractical, never predictable, sometime irascible,
Quite inexplicable, Irish.

Strange blend of shyness, pride and conceit,
And stubborn refusal to bow in defeat.

He’s spoiling and ready to argue and fight,
Yet the smile of a child fills his soul with delight.

His eyes are the quickest to well up with tears,
Yet his strength is the strongest to banish your fears.

His hate is as fierce as his devotion is grand,
And there is no middle ground on which he will stand.

He’s wild, he’s gentle, he’s good and he’s bad.

He’s proud and he’s humble, he’s happy and sad.

He’s in love with the ocean, the earth and the skies,
He’s enamored with beauty where it lies.

But mostly he’s Irish-In love with his God.
