Today I picked up my oldest son from Camp Lincoln and then headed over to Lake Le Homme Dieu to visit family.
Lake Le Homme Dieu
Waterskiing on Lake Le Homme Dieu after three days of driving was a nice change of pace.

Camp Lincoln Then Lake Le Homme Dieu
August 11, 2009Tougher Than I Thought…
August 10, 2009Try writing after driving seven hours across the country with your family, checking into a hotel and then having a two hour dinner @ The Oceanaire.
To top things off, the hotel wi-fi service offered two tiers of service – regular and business.
Trying to be thrifty, I chose the regular service and realize their wi-fi service should have been called wi-fi – like dial up used to be.
Final Summer Trip
August 9, 2009I am slogging across the country to pick up my oldest son from camp in Minnesota.
Tonight I am in Kansas City, MO at the Hyatt Crown Center.
It rained here this evening and the temperature dropped from 99 degrees to 74 degrees as the storm passed through downtown.
Off to Minneapolis, MN tomorrow.
Creating Your Own Twitter Backup
August 8, 2009A couple of weeks ago I scraped all of my Tweets, Followers and the people I was following from my Twitter account to create a back up copy in the event something went awry with the Twitter cloud.
As most every Twitter account holder now knows, Twitter.com was the target of a Distributed Denial of Service attack over the last several days which indeed made the Twitter cloud inaccessible for web users of their service – like me.
Having a back of my Twitter account didn’t help me any while their service was down, but knowing I had all of my account data backed up in another location like here within WordPress did give me extra piece of mind.
The following is the seventh installment of my Twitter account backup.

For Sale By Google Update
August 7, 2009Today I have finalized the structure and content of my innovative marketing book For Sale by Google.
For Sale by Google (1) has three parts (3), six sections (6), twenty one chapters (21), one hundred eighty four “panels” (184) and seven hundred thirty six “panes” (736).
My book has taken over three years of research and contemplation to perfect.
For Sale by Google: How To Make Money Selling Your Products and Services On The Internet Using Google Adwords and Search Engine Marketing Strategies is long overdue, however I am now satisfied with my 85,000+ word argument.
I am excited about publishing my intellectual property and capitalizing on its full market potential particularly now.
Twitter Down: Tweets DDOS Distributed Denial of Service Visualized
August 6, 2009As every web user of Twitter.com knows by now, Twitter has been offline and inaccessible to web Tweeters.

Updating Google Local Business Center Information
August 5, 2009Today I learned updating your Google Local Business Center account details and submitting them causes the account to lose access to Google’s Local Business Center listing performance data.

However, after I submitted a mobile telephone number change to include my Google Voice number, the top level data and the underlying Analytics all but disappeared.

iCopyright Content Monetization Service
August 2, 2009The Associated Press has begun using a service called iCopyright for reselling and monetizing their content.
iCopyright has two pricing structures one for educational / non profit organizations and another for the for profit sector.
iCopyright.com
From the iCopyright website:
Founded in 1998, iCopyright has generated millions of dollars in new licensing revenue for online publishers, and has seven patents pending in the field of automated copyright licensing and permissions.
It will be interesting to learn whether iCopyright helps the Associated Press realize its content monetization goals or not.
