crazy ideas: Blank the Falcons Stadium Demands... - 10/27/09 11:07 PM
Aurthur Blank is at it again. He is making noise about wanting a new stadium for the Atlanta Falcons to play in. And to that extent, I have no issue with it...
But he seems to think it is the responsibility of the taxpayers to pick up the tab. Why? What

Have you heard about Fusion 41? Ford is grabbing a handful of social media and leveraging it to promote the 2010 Ford Fusion.
I'll give you the link to check out the contest. It is pretty cool. Go buy a 2010 Fusion, grab a few friends and have some fun. BTW,

crazy ideas: Mediocre Comfort or Exceptional Risk? - 10/11/09 11:55 PM
We've all been there... Travelling across country or even out of the country... We have to eat.
There are two basic choices. Do we experiment and try something local? Maybe hit up a "Mom & Pop" place with purely local fare... Or there is the chain... We know what they serve,

crazy ideas: Next time you are thinking of hassling that guy in a skirt... - 10/08/09 09:07 PM
You might want to think twice... then go get another beer and argue about soccer with your buds.
I think this video came out of London, but I'm not positive. What I AM positive about is that a couple of thugs are REALLY re-thinking their weekend plans going forward.

crazy ideas: Save some dough? - 07/12/09 02:39 PM
Times are rough... they are rough for many of us... especially in the real estate industry. We are finding our belts and sucking them in a few notches... But not just in the real estate industry.
Last night I was talking with some friends that are in the business of state

crazy ideas: We get what we ask for... - 07/11/09 05:00 PM
So, you don't like the media? Do you think that they are a bunch of sensationalistic moonbats that don't have any "real news", just a bunch of meaningless crap about Michael Jackson's funeral, car chases and the newest reason that everyone is going to die from cancer? Do you wonder why

Have you seen the video?
It seems that Air New Zealand has been plagued by one of the same issues as every other airline... bored passengers during the safety briefing... and why not? I'm not an Air Warrior, but I could just about do the briefing myself... it hasn't changed in

Beginning Sunday Night/Monday Morning, FaceBook began the second phase of their custom URL land rush.
In the first phase, members were allowed to select URLs for their personal use and businesses with over 1000 fans were able to get custom URLs as well. There were literally millions of URLs parsed out

crazy ideas: It is in your FOOT! - 06/21/09 10:06 PM
I had the opportunity to catch up on some of the shows I enjoy today... and one of them was Trucks on the Spike Powerblock. The episode today had a segment about fuel economy... and getting better economy.
It was an interesting segment to watch. And it showed something VERY important.

crazy ideas: I should be a TV host... - 06/20/09 10:43 PM
Have you seen the BBC TV show Top Gear? It is one of my favorite shows. And with 350 million viewers around the world, I'm not the only fan. Top Gear is a great show, too. Even Mrs. Garage Guy enjoys (grudgingly) a show sometimes.
The cast of the show includes

crazy ideas: Stop YELLING at me! - 06/09/09 02:35 PM
This is a simple question... I have asked it before and the answer has always been a resounding "because that is how we have always done it." What am I talking about?
Why is it that MLS entries are ALL CAPS?
It doesn't make sense. It is common knowledge that ALL

crazy ideas: I want Viper... and my wife won't buy it for me... - 05/31/09 11:46 PM
Please note, I specifically didn't say "a Viper"... I said Viper.
Fiat isn't getting the Viper Program from Chrysler... they are holding it back. And it is on the block. Robert Nardelli, the Hero of Home Depot (where is the eye rolling icon when I need it) has let it be

crazy ideas: Community Builder? Go nuts with this one... - 05/30/09 12:29 AM
This ISN'T about Jeremy and Brad... It isn't even about Rich or Mike. It is about something that WE do as real estate agents. We build communities. Builders build houses. People build homes. Neighbors build communities. We are the ultimate neighbor... when we are really doing our job.
I found a

There were two things today that stuck with regards to respect. Both were connected to this holiday, Memorial Day. On this day we celebrate the fine men and women of our military, both past and present... especially those that made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives for our freedom.
This morning,

crazy ideas: How many social networks are there? - 05/23/09 10:20 PM
I don't think anyone knows...
I have been signing up for them left and right, if for no other reason that to make sure I get the same username regardless of the platform. I also try to link the "about me" back to my "about me" page on my website... good

crazy ideas: One easy reason to be everywhere... - 05/17/09 01:02 AM
During the #rebcclt video session, one of the things we talked about was using property videos, and syndicating them to a wide range of networks. The primary reason discussed was that it would be seen by the maximum number of potential buyers for the property... but we DID talk about the

Lotus. Some companies march to a different beat, and Lotus is one of those companies.
While other supercar companies were worried about gross horsepower numbers, Lotus looked to losing weight and balancing their cars handling as ways to make them faster.

I don't know why, but I was reminded this morning about two very different people, one quote from both, and how cheap sex is like real estate success... for some.
Back when I first got into real erstate, a local "power agent" told me that the goal was to list as
