Here’s a great (free) ebook from Chris Guillebeau of “The Art of Nonconformity.” It’s all about how he became an “overnight success” online in only 279 days.  It’s a great read for artists, writers, and anyone who is looking to get noticed online and build an audience (instead of just pushing products and services).

If you’d like to express yourself and perhaps move into a new life doing something you love (and that is creative), then spend a few minutes and read Chris’ ebook.  And, you should sign up for his email list or follow his RSS feed. He’s always got something interesting to say.

If you’re as old as I am, you remember mix tapes. You’d spend a bunch of time copying songs from cassettes or albums onto a blank cassette tape, and then give them to your steady or to your buddies. It was a lot of fun, and a great way to share new music.

Now, there’s an online site where you can create your own mix tapes and share them with friends. It’s called MixWit.com, and it’s a free site. Here’s a quick mix tape I made with some of the music I’ve been listening to lately:

NOTE: The MixWit Service has gone under.  Unfortunately, the economy killed a promising web startup.

The picture is from a trip my buddies and I took to Cancun way back in 1988, right in the meaty part of the mix tape phenomenom.

Check it out and make your own mix tapes!

We had a visitor at work today – a very large Turkey Buzzard.  So, I went outside and took a picture with my mobile phone camera and uploaded it directly to the blog.  Very cool technology.
