The Perfect Balance

Beer Goggles for your Gmail?

2008-10-10T09:21:00.003-03:00

I think we have all heard the phrase, "You have your beer goggles on". I know back in my university days I heard it a few times. :-)

Beer Goggles is a slang term for a phenomenon in which consumption of alcohol lowers sexual inhibitions to the point that very little or no discretion is used when approaching or choosing sexual partners. - Wikipedia-

Well like beer goggles, Google recently launched a new feature in Gmail called Mail Goggles that prevents you from sending drunken emails late at night. Well hopefully late at night :-)

If you happen to be in front of your computer on those nights when you are slightly inebriated with nothing to do and you think it might be a good idea to send out some emails. Think again.

When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you're really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind?

By default, Mail Goggles is only active late night on the weekend as that is the time you're most likely to need it. Once enabled, you can adjust when it's active in the General settings.

Hopefully Mail Goggles will prevent many of you out there from sending messages you wish you hadn't. Like that late night email to your girlfriend -- I mean wife. :-)

Party with pingg

2008-10-04T21:47:00.007-03:00

I love things that are simple. I am a huge fan of the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) theory. It must be the jock in me. :-)

pingg is an invitation creation and event management site. With pingg, hosts can create stylish online invitations; choose how to send their invites— online (via email, social network or mobile text) or print (pingg will print, stamp and mail the invitations for you); customize their own event web page and manage all guest communications from one location. With its stylish designs, integrated print and online features, personalized event web page and easy to use tools, pingg will change the way you create and plan your event on the web.

When you get an invite from pingg, you don’t have to click through to a Website to sign up or one blaring with advertisements just to find the address for a party. All the information is right there where it should be, in your email. You can RSVP right from the email and move on. The invite, image, and event details all come through in your email. And you can RSVP from the email as well. Here is an example one I set up.

The e-mails and Website are free. But you can also send out printed invites as postcards for $1.50 each (including postage) or send the invites as text messages to guests’ mobile phones ($1.50 for 20 messages).

The application is drop dead simple to use and they have some amazing looking templates. They also manage automatic reminder messages and thank-you notes when they are creating your invites. And the RSVP options include the ability to limit an event’s capacity, or to allow invitees to bring guests or transfer their invites to others.

Very cool and very easy. Congratulations to the pingg team for making my invites that much easier.

Have I told you I love the web? :-)

Slow Down & Enjoy Now

2008-10-02T07:51:00.003-03:00

I just finished reading "The Four Hour Work Week". It is a pretty good read and the main point I took from the entire book was that we shouldn't wait to defer life until later on. Why not enjoy it now, via mini retirements. To do that we need to put the proper processes in place to make it happen. This poem was in the book and it really helps validate the point of slowing down and enjoying now.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Track Any Web Page With Page2RSS

2008-09-26T09:55:00.006-03:00

My last post I spoke about our recent integration with JS-Kit. After I submitted my post I realized that my RSS feed was still working because Big Santo is integrated with Blogger as well, but when someone was to view my feed in their reader of choice, if they clicked on the title in their reader they would be taken to my Blogger page. Now that is fine, but not the perfect solution. So I went on the hunt for any easy way for a "non-techie" like me to create an RSS feed.

First I tried Dapper, which looks very solid, but was still a little tech heavy for someone like me. Remember I am still a jock by nature. :-) Then I found Feedity, which I thought was going to work like a charm, but while it was easy to try and make work, I still coudn't quite figure it out. Once again, simple jock.

So then I said, well lets go out to my fellow Tweeters on Twitter and I asked the question, like I have before

Now I didn't get tons of resonses, actually I only got one, but you know what. It was the perfect answer, because it was simple and it worked. The answer came from our good friend at Spheric, Adam MacDonald and he recommended Page2RSS

We all know RSS helps to get the feeds of the favorite/selected sites that gives away the xml/RSS feed (more on RSS). But what if my favorite sites are not publishing any feeds?

Page2RSS is just a perfect solution. Just enter your favorite site which you want to monitor and it will display a meesage in your reader.

The page http://evolvingsolutions.ca/evolve/419/ThePerfectBalance is monitored for updates. There are no changes detected since 09/24/08 15:06:11.

So now you can create feeds for others very easily and you can create feeds for web pages that you want to follow that do not have feeds. Your favourite websites, competitors, you name it, you can do it.

All you have to do is drag and bookmark the link Add to Page2RSS and click on the bookmarked link if you want to monitor the site you are viewing. This way you can monitor almost every site that you browse.

Thanks Adam! Who needs Google when you have smart people all over the world helping you out. Well Google still helps :-)

Simple Commenting with JS-Kit & Big Santo

2008-09-23T21:02:00.007-03:00

Big day for us on the Evolving Solutions front. We have officially launched Comments for all website pages in Big Santo, using JS-Kit.

JS-Kit commenting provides an amazing platform for web developers to integrate into their websites. It has very effective ways to fight and delete spam, and people can create avatars for their comments on blogs as well. JS-Kit is installed on 550,000 blogs and has already managed 75 million comments. It powers major sites like eVite, Sun Microsystems, InfoWorld, JetBlug, and Experian.

Now you can make your website social with Big Santo and JS-Kit. This is it in action, so feel free to leave a comment :-)

Update: Testing Page2RSS here. If it works, this will be a sweet addition to the web vault

All the Top - Online Magazine Rack

2008-09-21T21:29:00.005-03:00

So you keep hearing all about RSS feeds and RSS readers and you have no idea what everyone is talking about? Well Guy Kawasaki might have just found the secret to let all of those folks who don't have the time to figure out RSS get involved in the blogosphere. No RSS skills needed.

Alltop is a website that functions as an “online magazine rack” with the latest from a wide variety of news sources and blogs covering “all topics.” Many of the Alltop sites are very useful to entrepreneurs, investors, and everyone else in the high-tech community:

Alltop covers more than just business. The breadth of subjects is amazing. You can explore more than 200 topics from the home page at Alltop. Here are just a few examples:

Don't waste anymore time and get started. Congratulations to Guy on a great and simple idea coming to fruition.

Should Government Use Social Media?

2008-09-18T21:17:00.004-03:00

Why the heck not?

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to present to a group of PR Professionals from ACOA during their yearly retreat at the Pictou Lodge today. Side note: Pictou Lodge is beautiful and I recommend anyone looking for a great getaway, definitely think about going to the Pictou Lodge!

Our topic for the hour was social media and how might the government utilize it to their benefit, and more specifically ACOA. We had an engaging conversation, which opened my eyes to some of the concerns government has with social media.

We discussed how other organizations and individuals are using social media, like Barack Obama, Dell, Nike + and My Starbucks Ideas. I am hoping the examples helped them see how they can sell the idea of conversation into their risk averse cultures. It's all about knowing the fears then gently leading the fearful through the issues.

Like anything new though, there is always the fear of change, which can be difficult. So I thought I would search out some success stories that illustrate gov't using social media and I was able to find a couple of great examples. Joseph Thornley points out a great example on a model he would love to see here in Canada to increase government accountability. I also found a wiki that is being used by the City of Melbourne, called the Future of Melbourne. The wiki is the community's vision for the management, development and direction of their city to 2020 and beyond. Great idea!

So yes, I do think there is a place for social media in the government and I know the great people I was in the room with today will find a way to incorporate it so we all benefit. I can feel the change approaching.

Some good stuff

Moncton MP Candidate Goes Web 2.0

2008-09-09T15:08:00.005-03:00

The Daniel Allain campaign is planning a Web 2.0 attack on its competitors and so far it looks like a fantastic strategy.

You do not need to look much farther then to our cross-border counterparts to see how a smart social media campaign can assist in victory. Barack Obama's recent campaign utilized social media to its perfection. His 15 million views of his "Yes We Can" videos on YouTube are proof that social media helps increase the speed of Word of Mouth.

The Allain campaign is a truly 21st century campaign. So many things are being done at the grassroots level and leveraging the power of the Internet these days is very important.

Since Allain officially declared his candidacy on September 4th, the following has happened:

The Daniel Allain website was launched.
The campaign has created a Blog to release press information.
You can follow Daniel Allain's every move during the campaign on Twitter.
A facebook page here.
His own YouTube channe l.
And all of this is running underneath the hood of the Big Santo Web Content Master.

I believe, by this campaign leveraging the power of social tools, it will teach all the future candidates that there are tons of techniques online that can be used efficiently to both deliver the message and engage voters in distributing this message out of their own free will.

Make sure you check out his site and see how everything comes together for Daniel. Vote for Daniel!

Ramesh Ferris - A Leader Without Title

2008-09-05T22:38:00.013-03:00

"Every great advancement was once nothing more than a dream in the mind of a visionary." Powerful words by Robin Sharma.

I met one (a visionary) today. Ramesh Ferris is an amazing individual who had a vision one day while sitting at a campground with his dog. His vision was very clear - eradicate polio, to educate about the continuing need for immunization against polio and to support the rehabilitation of polio survivors in poor countries. It was this vision that birthed Cycle To Walk.

A 28-year-old polio survivor, Ramesh was adopted from India by Canadian parents in 1982. He can walk with the assistance of braces and crutches; however, his legs are not strong enough to propel a conventional bicycle. Instead, he rides using a hand cycle which relies upon his powerful upper body strength to maximize distance and speed.

The Cycle To Walk campaign started back on April 12, 2008 which was the anniversary of the release of Salk’s polio vaccine. Ramesh started his 7,200 km hand cycle journey from Victoria BC and he has made his way to the East Coast and is 3 weeks away from his end point, Cape Spear NL.

Ramesh is closing in on his quest to see Polio become only the second disease eradicated in human history. Ramesh wants to see it happen and remind Canadians that the fight to end polio isn’t over. I am willing to bet my money on Ramesh seeing this to the end.

Ramesh has raised close to $300K and he would love to reach 1 million dollars. Lets do our little to not only help Ramesh in his journey, but to help ourselves.

If anything you should definitely check out Ramesh's website. It is an amazing resource for Polio.

Why Set Bigger Goals?

2008-09-03T15:51:00.004-03:00

I never really asked myself that question before, but I recently started reading Tim Ferriss's new book, The 4 Hour Work Week and in Chapter 4, the System Reset, Tim talks about Why Bigger Goals ='s Less Competition. When you look at that final statement, Why Bigger Goals ='s Less Competition, it really hits home and it is so simple. Don't be realistic, be unrealistic!

Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.

The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit homeruns while everyone else is aiming for base hits. There is just less competition for bigger goals.

I recommend reading his book, but if you can't, check out Tim's blog post about Striving to be one of the few.

Here is an example of someone I know who seems to be setting bigger goals and taking a risk, no matter what anyone thinks. Good luck Dan and we can't wait to hear about your experience.

Google Browser? It's True, It Is Coming

2008-09-01T21:46:00.008-03:00

Look out Microsoft IE and yes Firefox, my favourite browser the last 4 years, you might be in trouble too.

While catching up on some of my blog reading I came across this breaking news at Techcrunch and GigaOm. Looks like this is very true, as Google announced on their official blog that they would be launching Google Chrome tomorrow in 100 countries. Google Chrome is a browser developed by the Mountain View, Calif.-based search company.

In typical Google fashion, they have found a unique way to launch their new product. They have created a cartoon around the browser and you can read it here.

The new browser will have some very cool features. Some of them include:

It has tabs, auto-completion, and a dashboard-type start page that can help you get going to the web services you need.
It has a privacy mode that allows you to use the machine without logging anything on the local machine. It might be similar to a feature called Incognito in the latest version of Microsoft IE.
Malware and phishing protection would be built into the browser

Chrome is an Open Source project and it first release will be for Windows only, but Mac and Linux will be coming soon.

This is a big move towards MSFT's dominance in the browser market, as they own 75% of the market with Firefox in a distant second with close to 25%. Firefox has done really well recently, but they are still not even close to hitting the mainstream user. This is where Google can bully their way in and take over the browser entirely.

Stay tuned and I can't wait for the Linux version.

Update: Google Chrome is making some noise with the Early Adopter crowd. I think this is a huge move on Google's part, especially when Mobile browsing becomes an every day thing and Chrome will have a huge advantage being built on the same platform (WebKit) as Android.

Hug A Developer

2008-08-28T21:35:00.006-03:00

My brother Adrian sent me this video tonight and I have to say it is so very true. I am not a developer, but I have seen his pain over the last 7 years we have worked together.

If you see Adrian in the next day or so...please give him a hug :-) I know I will give him a hug tomorrow morning. You are the best Ade!

Learn the Guitar on the Web

2008-08-25T21:26:00.005-03:00

Well I don't play the guitar...yet. But after finding the website Songsterr, I just might start learning how to play. Songsterr is an online guitar tab player that solves the biggest problem of guitar tabs (absence of information on rhythm and duration) and allows one to actually listen to the guitar tab played by a realistic guitar engine.

Now I have no idea how to read music, but I checked out the site and it looks like it would be an awesome tool for learning new songs. Here is a classic riff.

With all the Blippin' I have been doing lately, I must have music on the brain. Let me know what you think.

Radiohead Gets It

2008-08-19T22:50:00.005-03:00

How can you incorporate Radiohead's ideas into your business?

Not only am I a huge fan of Radiohead, but I have the utmost respect for the way they market themselves and stay true to their core values. Lets go through a few recent business decisions they have made:

Eliminated the record labels.
Gave away their music for free or let people pay what they want for their CD.
Started their own YouTube Channel for their wicked song "House of Cards".

In fact, the video for House of Cards was created through complex data visualization which you can see and manipulate here .

Here is the video.

They are doing an amazing job at letting their fans get involved. How can we get our fans involved in our businesses?

Some good stuff

2008-08-18T10:46:00.008-03:00

I have been writing less lately for a few reasons:

Working on some fantastic projects for some fantastic customers.
Moving into the new house.
And enjoying the summer with family and friends.

Even though writing is important to me, reading is even more important. I think it is important as a human to continue to learn. Reading does that for me. Here are a few great blog post I have read recently and wanted to share with you.

How do you become great? How does it happen? Is it luck? Watching the Olympics recently made me wonder about this. Usain Bolt, where did you come from?

Video from CBC.

Robin Sharma wrote a great post recently on How Champions Are Made.

Intangibles? - What do they mean to you? You hear the greats have them. They do the little things right. Well Seth Godin writes a great post on how you can bring more value to your relationships by focusing on the intangibles.

Blip Makes Music Fun Online

2008-08-13T16:56:00.005-03:00

I started using Blip today and it was actually quite addictive. Think twitter meets Pandora.

Most people enjoy some sort of genre in music and blip lets you share your likes with others on the web. If you like music and you like sharing, I definitely recommend Blip. Here is what you can do when you are on Blip:

Access to millions of streaming songs
Your own music station
A station programmed by your friends
An audience of music enthusiasts

I tried the integration with Twitter, which worked really well, but if you like music like me, you might annoy your twitter friends if all they see from you in twitter is a bunch of songs you blipped on Blip. So I think I will deactivate that today. What would be cool is if when you blip a song, you can select which third party site you want to share it on.

Another cool sticky feature is Blip hands out stars every time you hit a certain milestone with listeners. Add me so I can get my 50 star :-) http://blip.fm/cnadeau

Also, if you are a rockstar or want to be one, Blip might be a good place to upload your music and let others listen. If you want to be a DJ like me, check it out.

Living in a Browser

2008-08-06T16:02:00.005-03:00

What would it be like if you were MIA from your office for almost 3 weeks? Would you be sifting through emails for weeks on your return? Would you be looking for Word documents, proposals, etc. for clients? Would you be feeling out of the loop from what is going on at work? Sometimes being out of the loop isn't a bad thing :-) but being a small company and the owner it is important to be aware of things while you are not at the office.

Well I can tell you what being MIA from the office was like for me, since today is my first day back in the office in almost 3 weeks. :-) My recent hiatus is a combination of our vacation, moving into our new house and I had to buy a new computer that took me almost two weeks to get, while my other one was sitting on the sidelines burnt out.

And guess what...It wasn't that bad. I attribute the success to this disappearing act to "living in a browser"

Long the domain of Microsoft, the productivity apps market is turning into a lively, competitive arena thanks to the rise of a variety of SaaS and open source deployments, which provide much cheaper alternatives to the software giant's Office suite. There's also an emerging group of newer on-demand and open source players that are targeting the business apps market. Therefore we are not tied to our office or Microsoft like we used to be.

This time away made me realize that I can operate our business from any computer as long as I have an Internet connection. Here is what I use to get this done.

Google Apps - Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Docs
Google Reader - Web based reader for organizing your RSS feeds
Blogger - Web based blogging software
Twitter - Micro blogging
Facebook - Social network for staying on top of all of your personal relationships
Firefox 3 - Best browser out there, but I am considering checking out Flock latest version

That's it and the great thing is these are all free or close to it. You might have to hire someone to set the software up fr you, especially Google Apps, but it would be a very smart investment and save you tons of money in the long run.

So that is how I live in a browser, now if I could just find a decent webtop to replace my desktop and outsource my email like Tim Ferriss, I may never have to work again, let alone go into the office. :-)

Twellow Lets You Search For Like Minded Folks On Twitter

2008-07-24T11:11:00.005-03:00

The explosive growth of online social media has led to unprecedented opportunities for finding and connecting with people of experience and expertise in your areas of interest. However, sifting through the overwhelming volume of content and services in order to connect with people you want to find can be daunting and frustrating. Enter Twellow.com

Twellow is a great new search tool and directory for discovering Twitter users. For those of you balking at the idea of getting involved in the social web, this is a great way to get involved with people of the same interest.

All you have to do is go to Twellow, search for something you like and there you go. A list of like-minded individuals using the social web who you can communicate and share with. Here is a search I did for hockey, 14 pages worth.

Makes sense to me. Give it a try.

2nd Hands On Crash Course Rocks

2008-07-23T10:33:00.005-03:00

I saw the lights come on with a lot of individuals at last night's Third Tuesday New Brunswick event. It was great to see so many people thinking about how they can use the social web to better their life and business.

The event took place in Fredericton at Radian6's world headquarters. As usual I met some new folks and continued the conversations with others that I have met through the Third Tuesday events. Always good to network socially as Jason Falls would say.

Here is a quick snapshot of what went down at the the event.

We set up five stations - Linkedin, Google Analytics, Facebook Ads, Plurk and flickr. Similar to our first Hands On Crash Course in Saint John, the participants had a 15 mins conversation at each station before the moved onto the next one. Once again the "Hands On" event created some great conversation and people were able to build some new relationships.

Recap of Each Station

Linkedin: David Alston (@davidalston)

David discussed how he creates connections within Linkedin and making new contacts through Linkedin is a lot easier then the old fashion way. I never had so many Linkedin invites in a 8 hour span like I did after this session :-) If you are on Linkedin make sure to look me up http://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisnadeau

Google Analytics: Lisa Rousseau (@walkinggal)

Lisa discussed how easy it is to become a Web analytics pro. Google Analytics is very powerful and FREE!

Facebook Ads: Danielle Hotchkiss (@DHotchkiss)

Danielle talked about the ease and power of Facebook Social Ads. Facebooks ad platform has a reach more than 50 million people with advanced targeting, content integration, and flexible pricing.

flickr: Chris Nadeau (@cnadeau)

I was the flickr dude. We had some great conversations about utilizing flickrs powerful API, Groups in flickr and the Creative Common licensed photos you can use for your website through advanced search. Doug also did a cool demo of KD4 for some of our developer friends. Thanks Doug!

Plurk: Chatic Haddad

I am not a user of Plurk, but I heard that Chatic showed the group how well organized Plurk keeps your conversations. It is like Twitter on steriods. I must check it out.

As usual, a great event put on in Fredericton. Now it is time to figure out what we will do in Saint John for the next one. Any suggestions?

Craiger, It's Been A Slice

2008-07-19T19:24:00.005-03:00

Yesterday was Craig Allen’s, the Magic Maker's last day at Evolving Solutions - today he begins a new chapter in his personal career.

Craiger started at Evolving Solutions in January 2006, we think :-) and has worked along side myself and Adrian, day and night, since then. Craiger wore many hats during his time with us, Marketing, Sales, Business Development, Event Planner and Aquarium Fixer.

He was a loyal employee, always reserved and thinking about the customer. In addition to being a great writer, Craig did many other great things over the years while he was here:

He raised the level of all our brands to a place Adrian and I couldn't of done on our own - Evolving Solutions, Big Santo and YourTeam Online
He was great dealing with our customers and the projects he worked on
He helped our company grow with his work and ideas
He was a great coach at the Geeks On Ice hockey tournament :-)
And he has been a great friend to Adrian and I over the years

You’ll be missed, Craig. Come by any time to write a newsletter or two, for old time’s sake. And good luck with your next venture. Wherever you land they will be very lucky to have you. We will miss working with the Magic Maker and we wish you the best.

It's been a slice.

Are You Becoming A Commodity?

2008-07-14T22:19:00.006-03:00

More and more things are becoming a commodity these days. Is your business or product becoming one? It might seem like a silly question right now, but take a look at the list below. I bet there was a time when the listed items were scarce.

"A commodity is anything for which there is demand, but which is supplied without qualitative differentiation across a market. In other words, copper is copper. Rice is rice. Stereos, on the other hand, come in many varieties of quality. And, the better a stereo is, the more it will cost. Whereas, the price of copper is universal, and fluctuates daily based on global supply and demand."- Wikipedia, July 2008

Here is a current list of traded commodities. Seth Godin recently wrote a post on the Apple debacle over the past weekend. It makes so much sense to me. Does it to you?

How can you make your product or service scarce?

Try This

2008-07-10T12:00:00.002-03:00

If you can do this let me know and let me know the secret. I giggled to myself a few times trying.:-)

Is The 4 Hour Work Week Possible?

2008-07-07T22:59:00.008-03:00

I have been reading a lot these days about Tim Ferriss. Check out his blog, it is great! Tim is the author of the best-selling book “The 4-Hour Workweek”.

Tim has created a system that helps you work more effectively, not efficiently. I have not read the book yet, but I will definitely be purchasing it in the near future. If his book is as good as his blog, then it should be good. I recently watched a video with him and Robert Scoble on Fast Company. Check it out.

What do you think? Did you read the book? If so, please share your comments.
