Some Interesting Stuff...
So, I've created this page to share some of those items with those who care and those who have asked for them. Where appropriate (and when I could remember the exact source) I've credited them accordingly otherwise, all material is © 2007 Steve Lama. A Penny... I received this recently from a family member and I wanted to share this with otheres, plus it's a great explanation to why I always and even more now will pick up a penny...hope you enjoy!!! Mayo Jar and 2 cups of coffee... I received this some time ago from a friend and it took me some time to find it again so I could upload it to my site...hope you enjoy!!! Shadow Puppets This was sent to me from a friend and I had to add it to my web site for others to view. I'm not sure its source or author but I believe it was from BIO. If you know the cource, please let me know. I hope you enjoy! Let's not over design a good layout... The next time a client asks for a design to be changed, space to be filled, color or a photo to be added unnecessarily, use of bulletts, etc. show them this clip and ask them which do they think the customer will pick up and actually look at and read?s Need a new stop sign? Here is another great piece to show how management can actually mess up a good idea moer than help make it better. Hope you enjoy!!! Penny a day... Ever heard the question of what would you rather have, a million dollars today or a penny doubled for a month? Most people opt for the million dollars not realizing how doubling a penny over 31 days will grow...to an unbelievable amount. Well...just for fun, I created a sheet to show just how much that amount would grow to. Click on the link below to view or download that chart. It is really amazing. It also can be used to demonstrate how compunding your money really does make a difference with time. Tip Calculator ... I created this small chart (2x3) so you can download it, print it, and carry it in your purse or wallet. I would suggest laminating it to make it more durable. It is the size of a business card so it will fit nicely into any slot you may have to carry credit cards or business cards. Click on the link below to view or download the chart. Texas Penal Code §21.15 Improper photography or visual recording Here is an eye opening law that every photographer should be aware of when out "shooting." Click on the link below to read exactly what the law says about what you photograph. The Hot Dog Stand This was a "story" a friend gave me about advertising, marketing, and business. I found it quite humerous and insightful. I like to stress the importance of good advertising and marketing. Granted, a business has to look at the bottom line but there is also the other side of that "business" coin to keep in mind. Common Sense My parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I would do well to call on him when making decisions. It seems he was always around in my early years but less and less as time passed by until today I read his obituary. Please join me in a moment of silence in remembrance. For Common Sense had served us all so well for so many generations. Some questions to ponder... I received this list in an e-mail and thought I'd post them here for others to ponder...if you have any you'd like me to add to the list, drop me an e-mail. Christmas archive... This was linked from my home page for the month of December.
Over the years I've picked up interesting stories and experiences that I've been asked to post. I've created other usefull information sheets and tips/pointers.
I wanted to keep it active but thought I should move it to a different section for the remiander of the year.
Until next December, I"ll keep it active here for now
