The Voice Over Talent Named Don Capone

Leave a comment

Just now as I was surfing the internet looking for things to write, I decided to check my bookmark and came upon the website address of Don Capone, voice over talent that I wrote a couple of times before previously. I have forgotten that I have his web address in my bookmark. I remember that when I first know of him, I was very impressed with his voice over talent and just now, when I listened to his voice over demo samplers again after such a long time, once again, I am impressed all over again!

If you do not know what I am talking about, you should hop over to Don Capone’s website right now and listen to his talented voice and you will understand. However, according to the website of Don Capone, Don is not merely a voice over artist or voice talent but also an actor and a personality. I don’t remember seeing him in any movies before, so I think by actor, they mean that he acted in commercials too, apart from providing voice overs.

The list of work that Don Capone has done in his career as a voice over talent is very impressive and they include commercial work for Fortune 500 companies. Check his site out, will you?

One Million Love Messages

2 Comments

I have been online for quite a few years now and have surfed to hundreds of thousands of websites and blogs. The other day, I was blog hopping and someone mentioned about the site, One Million Love Messages.

Just now I had the chance to check it out and boy was I blown away by the feelings that have been expressed so openly on a public domain and the emotions that were shared.

This site is very real and makes a great read when we sometimes feel like we are in the dumps and that no one loves us. This is also a great place for people who are skeptical about love *sigh*

From what I understand, the owner of the site is receiving love messages from love birds all over the world and he is publishing them online as they come in the hopes of hitting one million messages. If I remember correctly, I read that he hoped to meet this target by Valentine’s Day 2008 but I can’t seem to find this target on the website.

Anyway, I love the concept of this site and I wish I was the one who thought about it!

An Opportunity To Be BOSS

Leave a comment

I was just surfing the interent aimlessly this afternoon when I chanced upon an old news article on the company, Multivend, LLC, which is a leading American vending machine manufacturer. Their bulk candy vending machines are very popular with the kids yet they provide adults an opportunity to be their own boss.

When you join Multivend, you will be guided to set up your own business with vendstar vending machines. Many people started with one machine only but I read in their website that there are people with more than hindered machines and that is amazing.

These machines work for us in the sense that we do not have to be there the whole day making sure that it works. What we have to take care of is that the machines are always filled with candy! I remember the days when I was fascinated with vending machines and would spend lots of money trying to make the machine dispense just what I want. Even today, I still see kids pestering their parents for something that is enclosed in a vending machine and I just have to smile.

I think this is a great idea for people thinking of venturing into their own business. *I* am thinking of venturing into business now, too!

WRYN – Where Are You NOW??

Leave a comment

Even before I have the chance to register myself with Gather or Facebook, not that I am interested in either one, I have been receiving invitations to join this site called WRYN. I checked the site to find that it actually means “Where Are You Now?” Who would like to know where I am now? Most probably at the computer blogging away, there’s where!

Anyway, from what I understand, these are social portals where people join to meet new people. However, what good is it when every site you join where you are supposed to “meet new people”, you are inviting all your current friends to join as well. You might as well not join but just chat on an instant messenger!

It seems this site is perfect for people who travel a lot and they can inform their friends where they are, log their trips and meet people who are in those places. But of all the people I know who travel so much to warrant a tracking like this, seriously, they do not have the time to leave a virtual trail.

Of my friends who invited me to join them on WRYN, I wonder how many of them actually travel more than once a year.

Planning A Lake Tahoe Trip Interactively

Leave a comment

I remember not too long ago when I was new to the internet and introduced to web cams, I spent a lot of time and money (dial up was expensive) searching all over the internet looking for live cams. I was fascinated because it was like traveling in my arm chair. Of course, it would be cool if I could pack my bags and travel but I was just a kid back then.

Today, I came across Lake Tahoe web cams from the Interactive guide of Tahoe360.com. Through this site, should I wish to go on vacation to Lake Tahoe, I could plan my Lake Tahoe trip interactively and check out a total of twenty three (yes, I counted!) live cams of popular Lake Tahoe ski resorts. I viewed them all for a short while because the images were very clear and there was no sluggishness to the video output at all.

Overall, this is a very well planned website and I believe, even someone who is not internet savvy would be able to find his way around because the whole site, starting with the map, is so intuitive yet interactive. I love this site and could only hope that other travel sites would emulate Tahoe360.com!

Driving Blog Traffic

Leave a comment

I came across this new blog widget called Blog Rush while I was surfing the internet just now. What it does is that once you have signed up with Blog Rush and entered the feed of your blog to the Blog Rush system and installed the code to your blog, so that the widget will show up on the sidebar of your blog, you will then be giving your blog readers access to other blogs of similar topics.

Whenever a blog that is already on Blog Rush is updated, the feed will then be shown the widget of corresponding categories. Is this cool?

This idea isn’t new. I have my own blog syndication where I place all feeds of my blogs on the sidebar of my blogs. I managed to get some crossed readers from the more popular blogs to the lesser known ones and they will click on the feed when they see an interesting item.

I haven’t joined yet because I am not sure if this widget will do any good because once every blog has this installed, no one will click anymore. As for my own self-made “widget”, because it is not common, I still have people who are interested to click. At the end of the day, the bottom line is still content, or so I have been told!

P/S: I don’t want to subject BlogRush members to my sponsored post lol

Unsecured Business Loans

Leave a comment

I came across the website of EZUnsecured.com about a month ago, which provides companies with Unsecured Business Loans and I was surprised that they could do it deposit the funds into the borrower’s account within three days from the point of applying for a loan.

Applying for an unsecured business loan where collateral is not required, of course, the interest rate will be slightly higher, but there will be no upfront fees and the loan is approved very swiftly so it is up to the borrower to make a quick turn with the cash on hand. That is the reason people take out such a short term loan anyway.

It is great for EZUnsecured to act fast and not put applicants in a limbo wondering if they will be able to get any funds here. Not only do borrowers receive such a great service and the funds fast, they also have peace of mind knowing that applying and approval for an unsecured business loan from EZUnsecured is so hassle-free.
