When I started on ActiveRain almost 16 months ago, I was surprised to find so many like-minded souls here. One of the first friends I made was Paul Slaybaugh, and although we never met in person before this past week, I had already come to consider him one of my best friends. He's a good d...

I have to admit that the fall came on a bit quicker than usual this year. In fact, we sometimes seem to skip fall altogether in this area. I have lived in Texas my entire life (born and raised in Dallas, lived in Austin for 20+ years now), and I've seen years that transition from late summer to...

I don't consider myself to be a social marketing guru (yet), but I do spend a little time each week on all of the top social media sites that I know about. Sometimes, it's just a few minutes per week. Obviously, I spend the majority of my online time right here on ActiveRain, but I have become ...

A good friend of mine in California emailed this story to me today. In yet another vote of confidence for the Austin, Texas real estate market, HousingPredictor.com has ranked Austin #6 on its list of Top 25 Appreciating Markets! I hadn't actually heard of this site before, but here's the descri...

A couple of weeks ago, I added Feedburner to the sidebar of my ActiveRain blog. If you aren't familiar with this service, it allows you to syndicate your blog via email without the requirement of a specific feed reader. In other words (simpler words), someone can sign up and receive all of your...

I had to run some errands earlier this evening and I went by to see a friend of mine briefly. He lives in a neighborhood that inspired this post, truth be known. When you are looking to buy a home, there are a few items which may not come to mind immediately, so I thought a short list of remind...
