Consider the Ante upped!! Last week I announced the Amazon.com Gift Card Give away! for the person who has the highest number of productive comments (so far Sabrina is waaaaay out in front) through Halloween. I’ve decided to go a step farther! For any BLOG who posts a link to the original post using this: http://delusionsofgrandeur.org/2007/10/19/win-a-halloween-treat/ url and leaves a trackback here, you’ll not only be linked to from one of the coolest sites around, but I’ll pick one of the sites to review. We’re not talking about a 50 word, “hey this site rocks” type review with a link or two. We’re talkin a full blown, “I like this site because…” type review. I’ll look at your theme, I’ll look at your content and I’ll make suggestions and stuff as well. Mind you, I’m not John chow but then again I’m no slouch either. I’ve been online and designing/coding sites since 1994 (god those sites sucked) so i like to think I know a little bit. Anywho, link back to the original post and win.

Alarmingly, there’s an overwhelming number of people who are saying they’re going to vote for Hillary Clinton on the basis that she’s female and that alone. While I think its good that there is a woman running for the highest office, I consider it a huge mistake to vote for her solely because she’s female. Anyone who has listened to her ideas or knows anything about her policy making skills would not have to think twice before punching someone else’s name on the Ballot. Voting for someone strictly based on sex, race, religion is always a bad idea. Not only that, but if I stood up and said , or if Neal Boortz proclaimed on his talk show that the only reason he was voting for someone was because that person was a man, we’d be crucified.

In my on going effort to enlighten the world as to why voting for Hillary is a bad idea, I wanted to present you with more information. Emmett Tyrrell has a good post on Seven things to know about the Clintons. Some of the stuff I had heard before (like Hillary’s temper when it comes to State troopers or the Secret Service). Some I hadn’t (like the fact that Bill has earned somewhere in the neighborhood of $43 million dollars for speaking engagements since he left office, more than any other president. EVER) and some that are down right disturbing (did you know that for every failed policy of the clintons while Bill was in the White house, there is one from when he was Governor of Arkansas?)

If you’re even slightly considering voting for Hillary Clinton, there are two things I’d ask you to do before you step foot in to a voting booth. Research the senator from New York. Make sure you know her policies, stances and her ideology. Understand what her ideas are and how they are wrong for America. Do your research. Don’t vote for her because she’s a woman or you’d like to see Bill back in the Whitehouse. And second, watch this video clip, over and over and over. Then tell me she’s sincere…

Two guys I know are trying to start their own media business based around racing. They travel almost every weekend to different events around the country to film, photograph and record the events and they’re doing a pretty good job of it (check out joeyredmond.com and www.wreckedmagazine.com). One minor glitch in their plan is that their office currently consists of some space leased from the parent of one of their other friends. They were also using a cheaper VoIP provider that went out of business leaving them stranded with out phones in the office. What to do??

I’m fairly certain that with Packet8 Virtual Office they wouldn’t have had that issue. Not only that but their organization would have a more professional front as well with an automated attendant, call forwarding (so they’d never miss a call), Outlook and Fax integration and multiple lines going to multiple locations. Plus, its a hosted solution so they wouldn’t have to worry about the install or upkeep of equipment. The cool thing about Business VoIP services through packet8 is that they have plans for every size business. Compared to the cost of traditional phone service (hardware, setup, installation, service, support) the offerings from Packet8 are pretty cost effective and can reduce your bottom line.

One of the cool things is that right now you can also referrer friends, family and other business to packet8 and receive points towards amazon.com giftcards. Need one line or ten Packet8 has what you need.
