Cool Stuff

It’s almost here … my latest project … ProckStar Creative Studios

It was bound to happen, as it always does … it seems I’m always working on a new project. TPRweb stalled out (I slipped too many times with keeping it updated) and as I keep trying to fight against the lack of time, I often find myself at the losing end of that battle.

Starting my own web design has been something I always wanted to do, and have tested the waters a few time. After seeing so many poorly done websites, and companies doing web / graphic design with crappy work, I thought … I can certainly do better … so I’m getting ready to launch my own design company.

I hope to have the site available by the end of this weekend, but as time constraints and contract work I have picked up pulls preference, I may not be able to launch until next week.

The only thing that is slowing me down at this point is putting together my portfolio … putting it all together in a creative way takes time

Keep an eye open here for more information .

I know it’s been a while since my last post, but hey … I’ve been busy … yep REAL busy … ok … too busy.

Anyway … as I celebrated my last birthday of my 30’s I treated my lovely wife to the best steak dinner we have ever had – take a look at the picture for proof -(click the thumbnail for a larger version) also, notice the juices being soaked up by the cheesy bread on the right plate. These steaks were absolutely amazing, so much flavor!

I have Ken at the local Alberston’s on Broadway (near downtown) to thank for the suggestion of an alternate to our regular cut (rib eye). He suggested the double pack of t-bones ($14) and asked a few questions about how I was planning on preparing it.

I mentioned we always use our George Foreman Grill since we live in an apartment and unable to use a traditional outdoor grill. He then suggested this amazing dry rub he uses all the time. It’s a beef marinade and seasoning mix by Spade L Ranch.

We’ve been looking for several months for the perfect seasoning for steaks, but we always managed to get something with way too much spice – as in HOT – so much so that the hotness overpowered the flavor.

We’re done with the search … we have FOUND our seasoning of choice.

THANK YOU Ken and Spade L Ranch for the perfect birthday steak dinner for under $20.

Steaks – $14
Seasoning – $1 ($4 for the bottle, but there’s enough for several more dinners)
Steamed Veggies – $2
2 Bud Limes – $2

Total – $19.00

GeoSky of Florida has some great images of Florida taken with the aerial photography service.

They have a lot of fancy equipment for taking aerial photos of Florida. Take a look at the camera they use.

Sending some link juice your way guys … Scott

YES! yes it is … I’M BACK!!!!

The PowerSeller Report is back online and ready for new content. I’m really excited to be able to bring it back online. It was a sad day when I had to shut the site down, but I think TPRweb will become so much more than I had originally envisioned.

Best of all the content is (and always will be) free.  I want The PowerSeller Report to be a place that helps other online entrepreneurs find their way to success.

Part of me wanted to wait to launch the site, the part that wants things to be prefect before anyone sees it. That is something I am doing my best to change. Far too many times I have given up on a project because I never felt like it was ready. Then when I look back at the projects that never launched I see them as projects that could be very successful had I just launched the darn thing.

Sarah (my lovely wife) is always trying to convince me that others won’t see things the same way as I do, they won’t see all the flaws and areas that I feel need to be fixed. So … I have thrown all my anxiety about launching unfinished sites out the proverbial window. This will also give me something to work on and keep fresh.

Anyway … enough chatter, go check out the new site (there’s not much there yet) and subscribe with your preferred method so you don’t miss any of the great things in store for the site.

Do me a favor … if you like what you see or you just want to say hi … leave me a comment so I know you stopped by.

Thanks … Scott

Key Design Websites launches their new site for Web Design in Boise

The new site redesign of the Key Design Websites is finally complete … well … for now. We still have several tweaks to do in order to really make it ready. For now however, it’s up and ready for business.

We’re going to integrate a ticket system to help track our change orders and make the experience better for the customers.

Take a look at the new face of a Boise Web Design firm – Key Design Websites

The site is almost completely ready, with only a few tweaks here and there needed, but we needed to start spreading the word so those with online shops can see this site as a potential marketing solution.

The new site can be found at – isleofHoodies.com

This site is something I have been thinking about for quite some time, and it will be a fun and exciting new venture where I get to talk about great Hoodie designs, companies that sell Hoodies, anything and everything about Hoodies.

We will also be designing our own Hoodies in a new business to be announced soon, so this site will help us establish a market and allow us to test it out before we go all out with it.

Oh ya … Hey, we need Hoodies to be sent to us for our daily “Pull My Hoodie” section where we showcase Hoodies that are submitted to us. This is perfect for a company who wants to advertise their products. We will get to test out the quality of the Hoodie and talk about their business on the site and through out the online social media sphere.

Most sites that have this type of advertising model will charge for inclusion, but we’re offering this free of charge in hopes it will create a great community of people who LOVE Hoodies.

There’s a section already setup for those who want to submit a Hoodie, just go to isleofHoodies.com

Let me know what you think … Scott

It’s better than a Boat Hook!

I was given a site to look at yesterday, and I was really impressed with the product.

I don’t know anything about the boating market, but after looking over the site I can see that they have a unique product which I’m sure any boating enthusiast would love.

Those in the boating market will know about boat hooks, and the Wrino Mooring hook is more than just a boat hook, it’s a telescoping hook that allows for easy boat mooring without having to leave the boat.

If you or some one you know owns a boat then go take a look at this unique boat hook.

Enjoy … Scott

If you have a RRoD (red rings of death) Xbox 360 that is either out of warranty or a voided warranty (opened case) please get in touch with me.

I have a team project in my instructional design class where we have to create an instructional guide, we chose the Xbox 360 RRoD to fix. The problem is we don’t have one to fix.

We’re looking for someone who would allow us to fix theirs at no charge and when we’re finished with the project we will give it back.

Please keep in mind, since this is a school project and we’re not expert technicians, we can not guarantee results … our grades however will be better if we can successfully fix one, so that is our goal

If you have an Xbox you want to lend us, just leave a comment, enter your email address in the comment form and I will get in touch with you.

Thanks … Scott
