Look Better in Google Mail

Who among us does not spend a good amount of time in Google Mail – Whether it’s Gmail, or Google Apps for business?

A lot of Google users know they can assign pictures to their contacts, but don’t seem to realize that if they don’t provide their own, they’re just appearing as a gray, “generic person” at the other end of their communications, whether it’s email, or chat (or, the new Google+).

What’s worse is how you appear on their phone (hint: you’re a gray, sideways robot).

It’s time to grab the bull by the horns, and take control of your own destiny (and image).

Fortunately, you can remedy this sad situation in just a couple of moments with a few clicks.

I just posted a short tutorial on our new YouTube channel, and hope you’ll take a moment to follow-along.

I’d love to see you, instead of Google’s “Generic Person”  in my inbox, and as a sideways gray robot on my phone.

Keep Your Personal & Family Documents Safe in a Disaster

We happened to catch a rather thought-provoking piece on the local news the other evening, about the importance of having copies of all your important documents that you can “always get to” in case of an emergency.Here in San Diego, between the wild fires & earthquakes, you never know, so it really got my wife and I thinking.

The reporter doing the story suggested scanning all of your important documents, and putting them on a flash drive. That way, you could just take that with you, and have things handy when next you’re near a computer.

On the surface, that seemed like a good idea, but then we got to thinking… If there’s a fire, or the place starts crumbling in an earthquake, who’s going to go looking for that flash drive before we evacuate?

It sure isn’t going to be me!
