This parking lot has turned into...a parking lot

Facebook's targeted advertising

I think Facebook picked up only on the “slacker” part of the “slacker half marathon” description here and ran with it. The ads don’t quite fit the photo.

Max isn't feeling well so he's eating grass

My Dad used to say a dog would eat grass when his stomach was upset (the dog’s not my Dad’s). Max isn’t feeling well and wanted to come to the park to eat some grass.

Internet Investor Expert

Juan Carlos Arzola is internationally recognized as one of the best ‘great money maker’, helping people in many categories of business turn their ideas into real fortunes. He is provocative, irrelevant, humorous, sarcastic, but chilling, serious that goes to the point and cuts to the core of the real issues in an incredible way no other marketing ‘guru’ does.

Umm, if you’re going to market yourself as a guru, you may want to use a dictionary…or hire a copywriter. That’s a typo you really don’t want to make.

Gmail adds drag and drop functionality to labels

Guess it’s time to clean up my labels. I have over fifty and most of them are controlled by filters anyway.

On Location - A Second Home on a Starter Budget

Priced out of the New York City real estate market, the couple rent an apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They decided to make their first home purchase a weekend house in the Catskills.

They had looked at about 30 houses during a four-month hunt for a country home last summer, and finally closed on the two-bedroom, one-bath home for $95,000 last September. Along with the house, a 700-square-foot 1920s cottage, the property in Sparrow Bush, a village in Orange County, N.Y., includes eight and a half wooded acres and a detached garage/barn 800 feet from the house.

Every weekend, starting in October, the couple drove two hours from their home in Brooklyn to the house, undertaking all of the necessary reconstruction themselves, except the re-roofing, which was done by a contractor. Both urbanites, neither had ever tackled a renovation before, but the project was thrilling to them.

“That’s the luxury of being a young, first-time home buyer,” Ms. Salway said. “It was empowering to see what we could do.”

This is a great story.
