Today, I thought I’d have an open mic day (like comedy clubs, but with better lighting).

If you’ve got something you’d like to see, a topic you want covered, speak up. If there’s a cool tool I haven’t found yet, share it in the comments.

Or, even if you’ve got a burning question about email marketing, or anything else I can help with. (Although if it’s about Justin Bieber I haven’t a clue).

Speak up. Raise your hand. Wave even.

Quotations can give us inspiration, make us smile, or cheer us up on a bad day.  Here are some of my favorites:

“If life gives you lemons, throw them back and demand chocolate.” (unknown)

“”Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” (Albert Einstein)

“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything” (Mark Twain)

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” (Dr. Seuss)

What are yours?

Friday Fun: Tell Us Where You Are

I was looking at my stats for the last few months and I was astonished at all the different places my visitors and readers come from.

The United States was first (OK, that makes sense), followed by India, the UK, Australia, and Canada.  But I also got traffic from Pakistan, Vietnam, Ghana, Peru, United Arab Emirates, China, Sweden, Czech Republic, and Nepal (!?).  It’s amazing.

So, where are you from?  Give yourself, your country and your city a shoutout.

Friday Fun: One Word Movies

I was watching Citizen Kane a few days ago and it occurred to me that the entire movie could be summed up in one word. If you say that word, and you’re talking about movies, everyone knows exactly which film you mean.

Rosebud.

Then I thought of a few more:

Munchkins
Stella!!!!
Oompa-loompa

What other movies can you describe in one word?
