USPS Temporary Mail Forwarding Could Use Some Improvement

February 21, 2008

Remember how a few week ago I set up temporary mail forwarding so that I could receive my mail in Ohio while I was out of Utah for a month? Well, it was easy enough to set up, but the experience afterwards has been less than ideal, which is a shame, because the post office could make it a lot easier and probably make some money on the whole deal, to boot.

Work Anywhere and Check Your Snail Mail Online

February 4, 2008

I was just turned on to Earth Class Mail, a service that scans your postal mail and shows you images of it online and then allows you to shred it or forward it to the location of your choice, by Chris Knudsen. I haven't signed up yet, due to the lack of a Salt Lake City street address, but I can't wait to sign up once they get one.

Utah Bed and Breakfast in Midway Near Heber / Park City

December 17, 2007

I'll put this bluntly--you and your spouse should try this place out. MWI did the website for the Johnson Mill, a Utah bed and breakfast in Midway, which is right next door to Heber and just a few minutes from Park City, back around 2003. We've recently started providing SEO services for them as well.

But even though they're a client, I can say without any bias that this is by far the best place I've ever stayed at with my wife. Not just a little nicer than other bed and breakfasts or hotels I've stayed at--a lot nicer.

Comcast's Version of Customer Service

December 5, 2007

I have Comcast's business Internet service, and I love it. I can't remember ever having an issue with it. I have 8-10 mbps down, and 1 mbps up for $160 per month. The problem is I'm not supposed to have that. You see, I called in two months ago and downgraded to their 6-8 mbps down/768K up package for $100 per month because the other package was overkill and I've been on a cost-cutting kick lately.

Comcast High-speed Cable Internet for Business

June 6, 2007

I've had our office's Internet connectivity provided by Comcast's business services division for about a year now and I love it. It's less than $200 per month and speeds average between 6-8mbps down and are always 1mbps up. It's hard to beat.

However, I recently tried to change my billing address, and that was a different story.

Walls

May 10, 2007

There's the Great Wall of China, but there are bigger walls that do more to hold us back from achieving our goals and those are the walls we create in our own minds. You know how it works. You're exposed to new information, and you get this feeling in your head that says "This is a little bit weird..." or "I'm not sure about this..." or "I hope this isn't leading up to a presentation on how I need to get in on the bottom floor of the latest MLM."

So you might throw up some walls in your mind when I tell you I just went through a immersive training program that has changed my life. No, it's not MLM, a cult, a fraternal organization, or anything like unto it. There's no membership, you just go through three courses and you're done. And no, I don't make any money or get any other material benefit if I recruit you. What I do get is the opportunity to see someone else get the same benefits I've experienced. And what are those benefits? How about more money? "But you said this wasn't MLM!!!" It isn't. But I'm making more money because of this training. No, not because I'm selling anything I didn't sell before, but because the training has helped me figure out how to cut costs in my business, grow revenue, motivate my employees better, and be more productive. The training paid for itself within the first month, and I'm 100% positive will pay for itself many times over during the next year.

AppRiver's Hosted Exchange Server and Spam Filtering

April 17, 2007

We recently switched our corporate email to a hosted Exchange solution from AppRiver. It happens to be down right now (which is why I have time to blog), but this is still a positive review. Frankly, getting this Exchange server from AppRiver and having their spam filtering is one of the best things we've ever done.

Motorola Q with Verizon

Well, I finally did it. I got neither a Treo nor a Blackberry but the Motorola Q. It's been about two weeks ago and I'm liking it more every day, as opposed to other smartphones I've had in the past, the allure of which wore off as time went on.
