La Encantada Snowfall Evening

Posted by Dave Smith

November 30, 2008

Friday night we went over to the first snowfall event of the season at La Encantada Mall. It has become a family tradition to step into a Norman Rockwell painting and enjoy the 15 minutes of magic. With a little planning you can stretch it to over an hour.

Black Friday Prep in Tucson Real Estate

Posted by Dave Smith

November 27, 2008

I don’t think I need to provide any insight into Black Friday for the ladies of the house. If it were invented by retailers it was perfected by the ladies. There is an art form to Black Friday that goes way beyond the surface appearance of Chaos. I know there are whole planning sessions on Thanksgiving for how to capture to the flag, or the appliance, or the bargain the next day on Black Friday. For some it is like a commando raid on local retailers with no hold barred and no prisoners taken.

Surfing the Web has gone from a past time to a part of our daily lives. Finding knowledge and information quickly has been expedited by the Web. I don’t use a phone book anymore.

Gmail Now Has Themes

Posted by Dave Smith

November 21, 2008

I know this is a post I would usually put on my Wordpress Tech blog: The Real Estate Blog Lab. I post it here for two reasons.

1. I wonder how many of you even know I have a technical blog about Blogging
2. I think there are a lot of readers that already have a gmail account but haven’t realized there are themes now available
3. I really needed a post for today and I’ve been two busy to come up with something besides this lame idea about Gmail Themes
