Crafting is an artistic endeavor that many people enjoy. Some people use it as a way to make a living, others use it as a way to surprise friends and family with handmade gifts, while others just do it for relaxation. Part of the appeal of crafting is the ability to experiment with so many different styles, materials, and projects. One of the most recent trends in the crafting world is the use of digital photography in crafting projects.

Digital photography has really taken off because it’s cheap and accessible. It seems like just yesterday the world was reliant upon 35mm film canisters and negatives to make copies of photos. Now, all you need is a computer with the latest driver update, a digital camera, batteries, and some memory cards and you’re good to go.  Plus, with today’s cameras, you can even create videos to watch on your computer with software like vlc media player.

Following Up on Radio Advertising

November 11, 2010 by Leave a Comment

If you are like most people, you listen to your radio mainly when you are driving. Also, if you’re like most people, sometimes you switch stations when a “hard break”—that is, a particular time slot in a radio program that is devoted to advertising—comes on.

Sometimes, these “hard breaks” come at approximately the same time for a number of stations, so you may have no choice but to listen to advertising until your favorite music or morning radio hosts come back on. At these times, however, you may actually hear advertisement that catches your attention.

Because you are driving, you may not be able to jot down a number or other contact information, but you are able to commit the company or service organization’s name to memory long enough to write it down when you get a chance, with the intention of doing more research later on.

When you are ready to do this, you have a number of information resources that you can use to get more information, such as Canada 411. These information resources can be found in either “hard copy” or online, and will often provide enough contact information to jog your memory so that you will know you have found the company whose radio advertisement you heard. When this happens, and you go to the right website or other source of information, you may be surprised at just how much of the radio advertisement information you retained.

If you don’t remember hearing an announcement of special discounts on the radio advertisement, ask the representative you talk to when you contact the company.  Many companies will give you an advertisement just for “mentioning the ad,” giving you an extra incentive to act on the commercial, and a reward for tracking them down afterward.

An Addiction Turns Positive

September 1, 2010 by Leave a Comment
This is Your Brain on Music

Human addiction to music outstrips the addictions of all drugs combined. That is what Daniel J. Levitin says in his book, “This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession.” The study opens the reader to the incredible power music has on the mind. Music wraps itself around people all their lives and most don’t honestly notice the effect music has on the individual.

If you lived in a tribe in the outlaying areas of West Africa, you would know. Entire societies are built on rhythm and music. If you told people from West Africa that you could not sing, they would look at you with the deepest pity and realize that you must be one of the worst handicapped people on the planet. Music affects us.

In Western Society, we have become disabled socially. We have become a society of connections lost, depending on electronics to continue our missing links with other people. It is a case of everybody’s fault and nobody’s fault.

Knowing that music plays such an important role in the operation of the human mind can help bring at least a tiny piece of health to you on a personal level. That means more than just listening to your favorite music in the car as you keep the constant movement of life going. It also means that music can be used to trace lost connections. Music has meaning. So do the loved ones we find ourselves missing in our daily routine.

Connect, even in the tiniest ways, the meaning of music with the people you love. It may not be much, but it is a start and it will affect your emotions in positive ways.

Free ringtones are one option and are easily available. They add meaning to an otherwise meaningless tool. It beats hitting the bars due to the stress. A single song can mean, “Ah, there he is!”
