I doubled the views on my website by joining participating sites that make money by linking their site to specific vendors sites like me.

I know its not a big deal to some but I look at it like this.
If I get double the views then I hopefully get double the buisness.
So basically double the income. ;)

Hopefully it will be a better year.

The only good things so far this week were:

1 - getting the #Mahalo IRC chat channel to work on my system
2 - Saving $100 towards my "fix Max's car fund".
3 - Getting a commercial edited and approved at work without a bunch of tweaks / revisions.

The bad parts have been the arthritis acting up in my foot and knee (remnants of the car accident), causing a lack of sleep, and a generally "grumpy".

I stopped a fight between a Taiwanese and a Japanese, and a S.Korean stander-by liked the way I did it so much that I got offered a job in Soel, which I respectfully declined, so instead we went to a pub and he bought all the drinks while telling me stories about issues the Koreans have had with *both* Chinese (in his mind a Taiwanese is just another Chinaman) and Japanese.

Then he told me how in S.Korea they'd recently banned all advertising using Chinese or Japanese symbols or scripts, while at the same time launching a national program where all S.Koreans are now required to start learning english from the first grade and they must continue to study it as a compulsory for all of the school years, such that there will be two, and only two, official langguages in S.Korea, namely Korean and English.

He said the reason is because they've been pinched between Japan and China so many times that, what with China getting strong again, they want to draw some lines once and for all to distinguish themselves from China and Japan and to line up to make a definative and unambiguous statement and expression of alliegance about who's side they're on who happens to be in the west and speaks english and who has enough clout to balance out either or both of those two historical enemies of Korea.

So... I learned something about current events in S.Korea, and I thought that was good.

My High school graduating class (1977) all turn 50 this year, so we threw ourselves a 5oth birthday party. I saw several friends that I haven't seen in decades. It was a great time.

While at the party, I watched CMU beat MSU, and UofM beat ND. It doesn't get any better than that.

Well, much has already been written about and commented on at Mahalo, regarding my first experience attempting to be a fashion model at the Hawaii Most Beautiful Man contest (Saturday 12 September 2009). The last comment appearing at: http://www.mahalohowto.com/2009/09/15/september-15-answer-of-the-day/
Please watch the video starting at the 4 minute mark, as you will see me appear and I am beaming with happiness! (click on the link below the video to start the playback there) I did not win the contest, but it was quite an experience, with the cheering crowds, and being the center of attention. I did get that very nice aloha shirt that you see me modeling. Quite a departure from my start in life as a physics major! I never thought I'd do this!

Make sure you watch the audience reaction. There is a gal in the front row that starts to laugh when I flex my muscles, around 4m18s. Too bad music was overdubbed on the posted video, which drowns out the audience reaction.

And just a couple of seconds ago, I got an email saying: "What a bod!" Ha ha!

Cheers! And thanks for allowing me to share this.

I got accepted to do a TV show called "Change Your Look ..... Change Your Life". I have talked about it before but the final acceptance (after I met with the life coach,) was given to me on Monday. I have never had a show made about me before, I am so excited and really feel that this is going to be a turning point in my life.
Id like to think something even better will happen, so heres hoping and waiting in anticipation.
Thanks for the question, good one.

I used to sleep during the day for at least one hour due to some health problems. This is an additional sleep to the 7 hours of night sleep.
I was able to keep awake during the day time for the whole week. To add to that achievement, I created some more Mahalo pages and updated half of my previously owned ones. Wow!!!My home looks pretty too. My kid is enjoying fresh homemade snacks in the evening.
It is a big thing to me after a long time!!!. '''''Cheers to me!!!!!!!!!'''''

What an amazing week we had at the TechCrunch50.com conference! We had 150 amazing companies launch: 50 on stage and 100 in the demo pit.

RedBeacon won it all, but others were impressive including AnyClip, Healthywage, iMo, udorse, CitySourced, clicker and countless others.

Now I've got no voice left for This Week in Startups tomorrow!

The best thing that has happened to me this week (so far) was booking a suite at the Venetian for next month's trip to Las Vegas with my boyfriend - and then getting the hotel to match (with a free upgrade!) a much lower rate I found online.

Well I work for a publishing company as a project manager. For last few months I was working with a finicky client (as told by my team mates) but I never found him finicky, except from his odd reactions every now and then.

Now I have finished with his project....he sent me an appreciation keeping my boss in the loop. I was over the moon as I was praised by my boss and by my colleagues. Earning an appreciation from a finicky client...this is the best thing for me even for this month (or for this year)
