Well, it was a hot day today in Southeastern North Carolina - perfect for a Signature Homes' Luau in LA at their environmentally-designed SeaBrooke development in Leland. Getting ready for the event.

leland nc: Can You Tell What This Is? - 05/27/09 06:37 AM
We were on a walk in Annsdale Park in Brunswick Forest in Leland, NC and noticed something up ahead. Can you tell what it is? Look on the ground, just off the sidewalk on the right side a bit before the tree. A closer look, can you tell yet?

Can you see now?
Now you can see the nesting bird, right?

I was able to get very close and she (I presume) didn't move a bit.

Later in the day we came back and this is what we saw:
The mother bird and the father, who's also in the area … (0 comments)

leland nc: What I've Learned About Blog "Voice" and Consistency - 05/01/09 09:05 PM
Earlier this week I posted on my personal blog (www.beingbrucebrown.com) a Fox News clip with the CEO of Coldwell Banker's suggestions for how to turn around the economy and get the housing market re-started. Good stuff and all and, on the national level probably valid and if the steps he suggest were implemented it would have local effect as well. However, in hindsight, it was a mistake to put that content on my blog. I'm not taking it down because that would be wussie (corrected spelling welcomed!) but I'm not going there again.
So here's what I learned.

leland nc: Leland New Home Community Tours and Events at Compass Pointe and Brunswick Forest - 04/17/09 08:43 PM
My good friend and HDTV expert Alfred Poor follows my blog and has exclaimed more than once that it seems I spend a lot of time eating for free at Realtor events. And of course he's right (he generally is) but as a working member of the technology press for nigh on to 30 years (he started young), Alfred works his own way well around a promotional luncheon, I know for a fact. This week I laid kinda low on the meal circuit, but Thursday and Friday made up for it at events involving Compass Pointe and Brunswick Forest, two of … (0 comments)

leland nc: Even More Ridiculous - Video while on the phone, driving, and texting - 03/28/09 06:46 AM
In this PARODY of safe driving, videoing, texting, and phone calling all at the same time, North Carolina real estate agent Bruce Brown yet again makes a point. Apparently when I made the first video and posted it here a couple people thought I was being serious. Ah, no, it was supposed to be funny. The funniest thing, however, to me, is that my clients, my managers, and my colleagues thot it was a complete hoot. So, perhaps to make the point more strongly, or just to have more fun, I made it even better (or worse, depending on your perspective). … (1 comments)

After viewing videos other Realtors have made while driving and hearing comments and questions about whether or not that's a safe practice, I decided to try it myself.
