Zofunk iPod and Video iPod cases

by

I really like the stylish Zofunk iPod cases. The slim cases come in three different colors – red, blue and pink.

Each case is ultra slim – only 1mm thick. The iPod video can be placed into a universal dock without the removal of the case due to it’s ultra slimness. The cases are selling for just $26.95, and they come with matching earphone covers and a micro-fiber cleaning cloth. You can use the cases with 30 gm, 60 gb and 80 gb iPod video.

The iPod video case doesn’t add any extra bulk to the video iPod thanks to it’s ultra slim design. The case also allows for easy access to all ports, and the dock connector.

I don’t have an iPod, video or otherwise, but if I did I’d likely get one of these cases to protect my ipod and give it a more personal look. I just love the design – don’t you?

If you own or work for a small to large business you might be interested to know that Alentus is now offering SharePoint hosting.

SharePoint is packed with cool features for your organizations hosting needs. It’s the leading Microsoft web solution for document management, information sharing and team collaboration, and Alentus is offering the new Windows SharePoint Services in shared or dedicated hosting environments.

Some fantastic features of SharePoint are the 40 different templates that you can choose from, as well as project tracking. Each Windows SharePoint website comes pre-configured with a wealth of built in features. If you need a website for project management, a Class room or even HR management templates can be installed and customized to your exact needs. With SharePoint you can create blogs, forums, and wikis to compliment your businesses website.

This Microsoft web solution is great for document management, information sharing and team collaboration. Your employees will be able to work collaboratively on many different tasks such as documents, lists, events, images, calendars, announcements, contacts and many more projects. There’s even a new portal tool with mobile access that will allow members of your team to collaborate and manage content remotely.

Package prices begin at $30.95/month for the SharePoint professional Plan and go up to 99.50/month for the SharePoint Fortune 500 plan.

All packages come with same day setup.

There are so many great features I can’t see how a small to large organization wouldn’t want to try this new Microsoft Windows SharePoint Hosting at Alentus. The prices of the three available packages seem reasonable as well.

I should mention that SharePoint is a secure tool that’s been built in a secure environment. Another important fact that any business would want when hosting their companies website.

The Alentus staff are knowledgeable, and the Alentus hosting site has a reputable uptime record.

There’s an article in US Business Review that discusses the company – Prosper Inc, which is a company that offers courses to people that help them build their businesses.

The prosper learning programs begin by offering students classes in online investing on the Stock Market and then slowly move into aspects of e-commerce. The prosper learning courses goals are to teach people how to grow their online businesses and prosper from them.

Students are taught by industry experts and are given one on one coaching. The courses are designed specifically for each students interests, ambitions and previous experience. Prosper inc. works with students in 76 Countries through web and telephone conferences, online chatting and small group coaching sessions.

The program sounds like it’s quite intense and as a result Prosper inc attempts to determine each students commitment to their goals and ensures that their spouse or family members are also offering the student their full support in their endeavors.

The article goes on to say that the students who’ve taken the Prosper learning courses have gone on to become quite successful in their business related ventures.

It certainly sounds like the Prosper learning courses would be quite a good thing to take if you are determined to be successful in an online business. Read the full article for more details.

Shame that I should even have to ask …

Question for you …

Some of you have been reading this site and many of my others pretty much since day one. I’ve developed friendships with several of you, and have exchanged email and comments with many many more. I’ve worked on some of your websites, developed business relationships with a few of you and have even gotten to know some of the people that advertise on this and my other sites.

Have I ever come across to you – either on this site or any of my others, via email or comments as:

1. Rude?
2. Crazy?
3. Hard to deal with or unprofessional?

The reason why I’m asking this is because I was called all of these things in an email that I received earlier in the week. Obviously I’ve calmed down about this by now, but curious me still wants to know your opinion. Needless to say, since I don’t recall ever being called any of these things before, I found the email very upsetting.

I will not say who said these things to me. All I’d like is your opinion. Some of you know me quite well, and others only know me by what I write on my sites – either way, if you’ve been reading for a short time I think you should be able to come up with an opinion.

The Big Art Daily Community

by

You know, it’s interesting how easy it is to make great connections over the internet. It seems that every week, or even almost every day, a new interesting opportunity comes my way. It might be a friendship, or it might be a business arrangement, it might even be an exchange of ideas or a promotional exchange.

One of the interesting connections that I made this week involves the Big Art Daily community. You might remember that I’ve written about Wallhogs in the past? Wallhogs are big prints that you can put on your walls.

Well, Scott from Wallhogs liked my post and many of the others that they received and decided to pass on a bit of linky love through their Wallhogs blog. I visited the site and thanked him for giving me a link back, and somehow we got talking about photography and I was invited to submit some of my photos to their “Big Art Daily” community.

They plan on featuring a photo a day and they have an open invite for all photographers to join in.

I think this is a great site, and a great way of promoting photography, and photographers. Through this connection my art work is promoted, as is my photo site Breath of Life Photography, and all of the photographers who connect with them and allow some of their photos to be published on the site are helping them out with their commitment to their Big Art Daily project.

If you enjoy great photography or if you’d like to join in, check out the site.

I’m just paying it forward. I’m pleased by the site, honored to have my photos promoted and wanted to get the word out to other photographers.
