Care...Connect...And Design!

Have you heard...If someone did you a favor, something big, something you could not do on your own and instead of paying it back, you paid it forward to just three people. And, the next day they each paid it forward to three more. And, the day after that those 27 people each paid it forward to another three...And, each day everyone in turn paid it forward to three more people. In just two weeks that comes to 4,782,696 people.

The secret to the cost-effective spreading of information that gives the desired results is having those you initially contact cleverly and passionately carry your message to others. The best business networking tool ever created is NOT the computer or even The Internet...It's people!

People are both the solution and the problem. In order for this process to work, people have to CARE, CONNECT and have a good DESIGN. Most do not.

The purpose of this lens is to provide the small business community - especially the folks living in Middletown, CA - with the tools which can help create not only a good design for local small business entrepreneurs, but better economic viability for the entire local economy.

About Digital Photo Frames

Great Gifts for Family and Friends...And MORE!

While a digital photo frame is a great gift for family and friends, it is equally useful as a promotional tool for your business. If you have a storefront, it works well situated beneath the OPEN/CLOSED neon sign promoting your business 24/7. Inside your establishment, it works well on the counter to help spread your business message. Plus, if you decide to go with the Wi-Fi digital photo frame and are located within a Wi-Fi hot spot, you have the added convenience of being able to update your frame's content remotely from any online computer.

Watch this video and take note of your many options.

The Big Screen Presentation

Thumb Drive + High Definition Media Server + Vizio HDTV

While digital photo frames are great for promotion through storefront windows and checkout counters, if you are making a public presentation to a group, you are going to want a display screen that is larger than your standard computer monitor (15 inches). And, while LCD projectors and projection screens are still being used, large HDTV screens are an excellent option - especially when you are in a Wi-Fi hot spot and have the proper equipment.

What is the proper equipment? I recommend three specific devices. First, a thumb drive loaded with your slide show. Second, I recommend a 42" or larger Vizio flat-screen LCD HDTV. To that HDTV you need to connect a High Definition Media Server device. The thumb drive connects to the media server. A remote control that comes with the media server runs your slide show on the HDTV.

Nokia Internet Tablets Fit Wi-Fi Lifestyle

Check Your Email, Surf the Web, Make VOIP Phone & Video Calls

A cell phone screen is really too small to use to surf the Web in a restaurant. A regular laptop is really too big to set up on the table while you are waiting for meal. Then, to suddenly have to remove it when your food arrives is awkward. But, a Nokia Internet tablet? It's just right. It can be carried into the restaurant in your shirt pocket. However, its onscreen display is several times that of a cell phone. A Nokia Interent tablet can do everything you need Wi-Fi to do for you inside a restaurant - and that includes making room for your meal.

If you need a Nokia Internet Tablet, I can not only order the Internet tablet but configure it for you with special software, like Devicescape - a software designed to make accessing Wi-Fi hot spots a snap. For more information, see the orange box below.
