Photo in the News: Jet’s “Sonic Boom Cloud” Caught

Okay. Believe it or not, I do not “blog” all day. But, I do blog and am committed to this ‘blogging’ thing .. - you should accept that.

So, to make the transition easier for all of those around me … I have decided to take all of the verbs OUT of the English language and replace them with the term “blogging”. You can do vice versa as well.

For Example:

I ran out of 7-column pad paper today, so I figured I would head over to Polo Park Shopping Center and visit the Grand & Toy store and buy some. While I was at the shopping center, I walked a few stores down into the M.T.S. Phone Center. Currently, Manitoba Telephone Telephone system is my major phone supplier.

Before I go on .. a little background…

Today I’ve added the script from the Tag-Cloud (beta) site. It is very flexible in its design and usage.

What is TagCloud?

TagCloud is an automated Folksonomy tool. Essentially, TagCloud searches any number of RSS feeds you specify, extracts keywords from the content and lists them according to prevalence within the RSS feeds. Clicking on the tag’s link will display a list of all the article abstracts associated with that keyword.

Because of the formatting of the sidebar in this design, I have decided to just include the Top 10 keywords. The larger the font, the more popular the keyword. However, I have added a link that will display the Top 250 “tag-cloud” keywords as well. The link now has a permanent place in my sidebar, and if you are wondering what type of topics I have been discussing here at the 1-800-HART blog .. well, here is the link again … just click on it.

I have complete filing system in my basement. It holds all of my client’s Personal Tax Files and all the Corporate Files. I call this shelf my “Current” files. Last year, I took the time to pull out all of the older files and previous years’ files and place them in a banker box. Naturally, I documented each box by adding its contents into an Excel file, and numbering the box. I have 42 banker boxes stacked up in the corner of my basement, and this is what I call my “Archive” files. The boxes are stored on raised two-by-fours in case there might be accidental flooding in my basement. I have kept all of the archive files for exising clients because you just never know when you need to find information. Some clients and files date back to 1971 and I have one client that started in 1959. I just went on my own in March 2003, but after working with my father in his Chartered Accountancy firm for the past 18 years before it, I felt it best that I maintained all of the archived files in my possession when he retired. The clients that did not stay with me, or that I did not want to keep … I shredded those files when I started, at the permission of my father.

When I say FILES …. I do not mean your standard folding files or letter and legal sized files that you place in hanging folders. Here is a picture of what I mean:

I would formally like to thank industry guru DAVE TAYLOR from his Tech Support And Business Questions: Ask Dave Taylor! blog for this idea.

If you don’t know who Dave Taylor is, I suggest you hop over there to take a closer look. Chances are there is an answer somewhere in his blog for that burning question you have been desparately seeking the reply. Of course, if you are one of the lucky ones who knows-it-all (you know who you are!) .. and want to test Dave Taylor .. go ahead! You can just provide a comment to any question and answer that he has already answered, and tell him how wonderful he is.

WAIT! … what’s that just before his Comment Entry field? More →

I’ve used this for a while, for both of my websites 1800HART.com and PetLvr.com … If you ever bookmarked a website before, in Internet Explorer you see a little “e”-branded icon. In Mozilla Firefox you see a document with a crimped-edge icon. In Netscape, I don’t think it makes a difference. In all cases though, you should be able to see my little “favicon” on your Address Line of your browser. If you can’t, well then .. it’s probably one of these two reasons:
