Bob Marley, Reggae Legend

Monday, June 30th, 2008

I have liked reggae music for over half of my life. I started listening to Bob Marley at age 15. I bought my first Bob Marley poster and t-shirt at age 16.
Now years later at age 32, I made a lens highlighting some of my favorite Bob Marley Posters, CD’s, and T-Shirts.
Marley is [...]

Stephen Huneck and his Dog Chapel

Friday, June 27th, 2008

I am a huge dog lover. My dog, Sequoia, really is my best friend (besides my wife of course). I have grown up with dogs in the house and they have a special place in my heart.
I recently stumbled across the artwork of Stephen Huneck. He does amazing artwork and dedicates his [...]

Promising New BioFuel

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

It goes to show that lens ideas can come to you at any moment. Tonight I was watching Megyn Kelly do a report on the high fuel costs in the U.S. when I learned about a very promising biofuel source that is used in other parts of the world, but not very much in [...]

Strategiclly Updating Lenses

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

I have been attempting to update more of my lenses of late and I have seen an increase in traffic and lensrank.
But not until I read CaptainSquid’s recent post did I consider more strategically updating my lenses. I highly recommend reading his post, Sneaky Squidoo Lens Label Trick, to learn more about why and [...]

If you have not heard of [...]

Tonight I made a lens originally with the intention of promoting my audio book store. There you can download audiobooks and have them ready to play within minutes. You can load them to an [...]

Being a Squid Angel

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

Being a squid angel is an honor and I feel very privileged to be one. It is also a great responsibility. I find that I do give far more thumbs up than thumbs down.
What I look for in a lens to bless is quality. Sometimes, the lens already ranks high. These [...]

Longest Word In The English Language

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

I feel like the only time that I have been on Squidoo of late has kept me updating my groups. My Natural Health Group has been a lot of work reviewing every lens and only allowing and featuring the best.
Tonight, I needed a break and made an experimental lens. I wanted to see [...]

Thank goodness for Squidu. I went there because I was at a loss on how to add an ever.com lens to be featured in my Natural Health Group.
I did a search on Squidu.com and found these results.
To add an ever.com lens, Christine Suggested: “for: http://best.cameras.ever.com/ use: best-cameras-ever”
Sure enough, it worked [...]
