Every second a baby boomer turns sixty...

Every second a baby boomer turns sixty.
And almost every morning a baby boomer finds, reflected in the mirror, a face with one wrinkle more.
At least the unlucky ones, the ones who do not have a friendly mirror or a bad lit bathroom.
The normal ones I mean. The ones who see the truth reflected there, the first sight in the morning.
The sight that decides how the day is going to be.
A happy, smiling one, or a terrible sad and upsetting one, when you realize you're aging and your youth is running away, leaving behind a person still young in his heart, but terribly old in his look.
Who is going to accept that?
You want to still feel young and look young, or at least look the best you can.
And that is not vanity, it is just being human.
Once people had just one choice: to accept it, and regret, and miss the past.
Now a day a fifty year old person can look much better than a twenty years old.
Because technology has come to our rescue and we can, if not delete all, at least "help" our old body to look a little bit less "old" and a little bit more "pleasant".
But where?
At Los Angeles Plastic Surgery you can really find the best you can look for.
And where if not in the world capital of fashion and style?
Here you can find the best at a reasonable price.
They have the special program: The Rodeo Drive Mommy Makeover.
Why should you give up your beauty just because you had children?
Children like a nice and beautiful mommy, and husbands too, so why not?
But they do every kind of plastic surgery, from the minimally invasive procedures to Rhinoplasty and Liposuction.
Sometimes you can have impressive results with a minimal intervention.
So, if you are not lucky with what you daily see, why not changing it?

Uhrenarmband

Uhrenarmband is the German word for "watch band", which is what you will find at Watchband.de.
The site is in German, but you do not need to know German to buy there.
It's enough you see and I am sure you'll be fascinated by the elegance and smartness of what they offer.
I personally like the Alligator kind.
It is more expensive, but it is worth what you spend.
And, believe me, made in Germany means "made for lasting forever".
I can assure you about it, because I personally married a German and one of his qualities is the perennial search for perfection.
Which is common to ALL Germans.
I know you cannot generalize, but in this case you really CAN.
You can say whatever you want, you can compare prices and find out that they are more expensive, but if you compare quality, then you realize that in the end their products are cheaper.
I personally spend a lot in accessories, but it is worth, because the accessories are what makes the final touch.
You can have a cheap dress, but if you wear expensive accessories, it looks completely different.
And in the end you spend less and look better.
The same for a watch.
Just try the difference between a cheap watch band and an expensive one.
Your watch will look completely different, believe me.
And you can trust me, because I know what comes cheap but looks expensive...

"Everything is Miscellaneous"

Everything is Miscellaneous - how the Web destroys categories, disciplines and hierarchies



Weinberger's thesis is this: historically, we've divided the world into categories, topics, and hierarchies because physical objects need to be in one place or another, they can't be in all the places they might belong. Computers and the Internet turn this on its head: because a computer can "put things" in as many categories as they need to be in, because individuals can classify knowledge, tasks, and objects idiosyncratically, the hierarchy is revealed for what it always was, a convenient expedient masquerading as the True Shape of the Universe.
It's a powerful idea: from org charts to science, from music to retail theory, from government to education, every field of human endeavor is tinged with hierarchy, and every hierarchy is under assault from the Internet. One impact of this change is that it reveals the biases lurking underneath the editorial carvery of our systems.

Historically, we've divided the world into categories, topics, and hierarchies because that is the structure of the Universe, and that is what man learned since the dawn of humanity.
Computers cannot turn this upside down, neither change it.
Computers can put the same things in more than one category, but they cannot change the World.
It is a big mistake seeing computers and the Internet as something apart from life.
Every small detail of everyday life is reflected on the Internet, because the Internet is NOT a reality per se, it is made by Humans and follows Humans' laws.
Too much may be, but sometimes we are so fascinated by what computers can do, that we forget one simple thing: when we unplug them, their world disappears.
Computers are made by men, ruled by men, and reflect men's world.
The Internet makes things easier, because it is faster to communicate and we need just the virtual infrastructure to work and sell and produce.
We can have a simple market place, we do not need middlemen anymore, may be.
But hierarchies, they are hard to die, because they are what we are made of.
Every men is differnet and there will always be the better and the worse.
Following other rules, may be.
At Adam's times the best whas the one with the biggest muscles, because life was mostly physical work.
Now a days, may be the best is the one with the best brain.
But that doesn't change the fact that hierarchies always were and always will be, computers or no.

Be SMALL and think BIG

"Big used to matter. Big meant economies of scale.
And then small happened.
Today, little companies often make more money than big companies.

Small means the founder makes a far greater percentage of the customer interactions. Small means the founder is close to the decisions that matter and can make them, quickly.
Small is the new big because small gives you the flexibility to change the business
model when your competition changes theirs.
Small means you can tell the truth on your blog.
Small means that you can answer email from your customers.
Small means that you will outsource the boring, low-impact stuff like manufacturing and shipping and billing and packing to others, while you keep the power because you invent the remarkable and tell stories to people who want to hear them.
Small is the new big only when the person running the small thinks big.
Don’t wait. Get small. Think big."

Seth Godin

It is in this view that ThinkBigSites.com was created.
The winning company of the Future (the one with the F capital) is The Small Company that thinks Big.
If you want people to come to your blog or your website, so do a million (ten million, a billion!) other people.
Google uses all the cross-linking to reward websites and blogs with a higher ranking.
The more you link, the more you get linked to. The more you get linked to, the higher your Google rank. Which means more traffic. And on and on.
It's not what you are, is what you say and the way you say it.
That is why Website Optimisation is So IMPORTANT.
That is why you need a website optimization firm.
First to drive more website traffic to your Website or Blog, second to get the right links to go on the TOP.
If you are looking for good website optimization services you have found what you were looking for.

Dear, old, copper landline

This rollout and copycats will doom landlines – the copper line between your house and the local phone company is called a landline – to extinction by the end of 2012. That’s my prediction, not that of the WSJ. It is possible if DSL technology is improved that some copper will still be in use to provide broadband connectivity over which phone service’ll run but even this use of the copper is unlikely to go on for long.

Tom Evslin


That will be a very big mistake.
A mistake they will understand when somebody will take the pain to explain that too many waves are not good for our environment.
On one way people talk about pollution, the devil of our generation, but how many do something against it?
We have to find new alternative energy sources, but not only.
We have to change our lifestyle, because what is too much is also useless and what is useless is noxious.
When everybody will call on a cell phone (because we will have flat rates) and talk about the stupidest subjects, talking for talking, the air we breath will be so polluted that illnesses like Alzheimer or brain tumors will be so widespread.
They are not dangerous, they say...but it is just because there is so much money involved...
It will happen exactly what happened with cars.
No more investments in public transportation.
Who needs a train or a bus when everybody has his own car?
So the city are unlivable, the air is unbreathable and it is almost impossible to do in the little time we have what we didn't all the time we missed.
I do not want to be a Cassandra of the future, but the future IS in the Landline, even if they are less profitable, even if a phone in you paijama can look much more comfortable (but is it really?)
We need to have less of the common type of communication to be able to communicate again...less of the so called "humanity" to be a little bit human again...and that also includes the freedom NOT TO CARRY a phone in our pajama...
