Circa 1973 Pulsar Ad

a little video we put together for our vintage LED watch site with some old Pulsar magazine ad art and a 30 sec radio spot.

Hagen Renaker Dog Figurines

Hagen Renaker figurines are very popular with collectors, especially the horse figurines. Me, I prefer the older vintage Hagen-Renaker pieces like the wild animals, cats, and dogs. Check out this beauty of a Poodle I recently came across. Love it!

California Pottery Projects for August

One of my niche sites is the California Pottery Index which I built a few years back, actually before I really knew what I was doing. It's a pretty small niche and while it makes a few bucks every month and pays the fees it's not a cash cow by any means.
So I'm taking some time this month to bring the whole page up to speed...adding a blog and some web 2.0 sharing capabilities and some Like buttons and just dressing the place up
One page I'm testing some new things with is the page for Sascha Brastoff Pottery. Sascha Brastoff has a small but loyal following and I'd really like the page to score higher in bigG and generally get a bigger share of the traffic. So I'll be tweaking some things to see if I can't do that.

Video Project for Omega Watch

Tossing around an idea about building a site to sell some watches. Wonder how difficult it is to cut through the clutter in the old watch community. Let's see how this vintage omega watch video fares among all the other watch videos online.

Youtube Links with LinkedTube

Looking for a means of adding clickable links to a youtube video and stumbled actross this LinkedTube website. Site takes your youtube video, adds your preferred link, and spits out a flash video. Not sure it's what I need, but looks interesting enough to play around with. Here's my basic Shelby Wired vid with link added. I'm wodering if I'll pick up a backlink for this? testing. testing.

Hammocks For Peace

As in peace and relaxation. Hang the hammock in the backyard and enjoy your summer in style.
Some of these options include a combination mounting hammock chairs, hammocks and hammock chair portable stand that require no tools to assemble. Buying clearance hammocks will allow money savings no matter which type of hammock you purchase.
Here would be a dandy place for a video about a guy in a hammock. Let's see if we can find one.

Some East Texas Videos Plotted on Map

A Google Maps map of Shelby County with Shelby Wired videos plotted by location. I would like to see these videos pop-up on any Google Maps search. Seems that G picks a limited number of videos to actually get shown on a maps search. What is the criteria to getting shown? I'll let you know when I find out.

The Forgotten History of Black Americans

Watching today's episode of Glenn Beck I was intrigued by all the history of Black Americans that has been forgotten (or maybe purposely swept away) by the passing of time. Beck mentioned a book published in 1855, "The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution" by William C. Nell and I found an pdf version of the book. It's been long out-of-print but is available for download at a few different sites online.

Dog Gone Racer Dog T-Shirt

Love this Dog Gone Racer Dog T-Shirt we have over at the Cool Tee Shirts shop on Zazzle. It's the iconic racing dog from the Go! Dog! Go! childrens book by P. D. Eastman.
Heh, dogs driving cars, going fast, not liking hats, dancing on trees. Literature really can't get much better.

New Video for Shelby County TX Website

working on a new website project for myself and a radio buddy of mine. Called Shelby Wired, it's a news/info community portal for Center TX and the other towns of Shelby County, Texas. Having a lot of fun gathering up news sources and such and think it's going to be a real worthwhile project. A nice diversion anyway.
Just uploaded a new video to promote the coming site. Here it is as hosted on zoopy.com which has the feel of old-school YouTube. Plus a swell follow-link in the description.

Slow Fade Animated GIF

Seems like using slow fade animated gif's might be a pretty cool way to have information displayed on a website. Like a sales offer could magically appear after a certain period of time. Easy to make and small files. Plus could use on blogs where JS is not possible. Just a thought.

Call Me Mucha Fanboy

I'm a big fan of Czech artist Alphonse Mucha and use a lot of his artwork in my CafePress (and other POD) projects. It's really cool Art Nouveau stuff and most all is in the public domain.
Just built a new blog, Alphonse Mucha Shop, where I can direct traffic to some of my stores with Mucha stuff, old and new. Plus, I'll probably find some affiliate items to promote if the blog gains any kind of traction.
If you like Mucha feel free to check it out.
