...is my single overriding consultive objective. It is the theme that drives every aspect of my consulting product. If keeping your existing client/fan/patron base is important to you, if adding new and profitable clients/fans/patrons is important to you, and if sharing your product/message/expression is important to you, then establishing a real presence on the web is going to be important to you.

With all of this in place, why pay for voice service? I’m holding out on upgrading my Verizon contract waiting for a data only device. I was thinking I was going to mashup one of my own but was reluctant to do so because of the anticipated clumsiness and cost of the parts and the time it would take to integrate software for all of the pieces. We’re talking about slinging around a tablet with a bunch of peripherals.
Now I’m thinking that the device will be here in a mater of months. What do you think? Should I wait or should I build it? Or do you know of something available today?
One of my favorite New Mexico artists, Orlando Leyba, is opening a show of his smaller works Friday, Oct. 1, 2010 at the Bright Rain Gallery in Albuquerque’s Old Town (6:00pm – 9:00). We own 2 of his pieces, one for which I traded my Jaguar (story to follow). A week doesn’t go by without me spending a few minutes taking-in those creations. We enjoy them immensely. Leyba works layers of gesso and oils to juxtapose ideas developed while growing up in Northern New Mexico against ideas developed while traveling throughout North Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
One of the things that makes New Mexico such a great place to live is that we have access to world class art. If you are able, be sure to visit the show before it closes at the end of October. His smaller works are still affordable to the middle income collector. Blue Rain Gallery (Bright Rain must be related) represents him in Santa Fe.
The Jag story: We were visiting Gabby at his studio in Albuquerque when I spotted a Jaguar hood ornament. He shared with me his love of the make. Well I was getting ready to put my Jaguar up for sale and thought, “wouldn’t it be cool if I could score one of his pieces.” One thing led to another and next I knew, a Leyba was hanging on my living room wall. Since then we were able to acquire the 2nd piece which is now in the living room and we have moved the 1st piece to our dinning room.
If you have never seen a video from Cognitive Media then you are in for a treat. This introduction to where good ideas come from is a short version of Steve Johnson’s TED presentation of a similar title. The format is a wonderfully effective way to engage one’s intellect. And it is less than 5 minutes in length. Enjoy…
‘God is love’, and he who seeks to establish its bounds is like a blind man attempting to count the grains of sand in the deeps of the sea. In quality, love is the likeness of God, as far as this is possible to mortals; in action, it is intoxication of the soul; in its properties, it is the source of faith, the abyss of long-suffering, the sea of humility. Love is real renunciation of every contrary thought, for it ‘thinketh no evil’ (I Cor. 13:5). Love, passionlessness and sonship differ only in name. As light, fire and flame are combined in one single action, so it is with these three.

You’ve probably heard a lot said about web presence but what is it really? And how do you establish a web presence? Once established, how do you maintain it? Isn’t it enough to just have a web site? Why is a web presence so important? Do local companies really need a web presence?
These are real questions. Their answers are easily understood in the context of your own objectives. My job is to identify your objectives and translate them into a message that is delivered in a meaningful way. Let’s discuss the opportunities that are available to you today and that are within your budget.
