Chicago Housing Authority evicts 31 households...

Thank goodness for the CHA. Their concern is so genuine and sincere. I am wondering where better and safe housing is located. The people being evicted are so lucky!... NOTE: the hypocrisy of my post has not escaped me.

CHA press release

scraping dead foot skin in public

WTF?! would possess a human being to scrape the bottom of their feet with scissors while I am sitting less than 15 feet away in the living room? WTF?! is wrong with this jackass! Holding his hand underneath his foot like that makes it OK? SICK and DISGUSTING. I am so revulsed!!! This next month may be one of the longest of my life.

Happy New Year

Things I am thankful for in 2009

• my lady, Linda


• my family


• knowing myself better


• starting school...again


• being employed

It has been a good year. 2010 will be even better!!!

Web 2.0 and Jewelry business

First, the owner needs to have an online presence that offers customers a place to ask questions and do research on products available. Sprinkled throughout the site, the owner should include customer testimonials and if appropriate customer photos with products. Within the site, business owner should start a blog and write about upcoming inventory, trends, sales, and general jewelry ideas. This will create text content that will help generate a higher good Google page ranking.
In addition, the jewelry business owner is to do research on the jewelry s/he is selling. By knowing about their product they can focus on using web 2.0 in relevant digital areas. For example, searching jewelry making on vimeo or youtube and posting videos of how products are created, who wears those products and of customer testimonials would be an excellent start. These videos can be shared with current customers through a contact database and be aggregated on the owner's blog/site. Also, by researching jewelry forums and blogs online, the owner can use their user generated videos and share with the online jewelry community creating additional links to their site from relevant digital space.
Finally, I would recommend that the owner ask for user pictures and replies and regularly share positive feedback on their blog.
