How would you spend a free month? Best Buzz Gets $100!

Based on an advert for laser hair removal I read, I think we spend about a month shaving our legs. So on a blog post I wrote called "does laser hair removal really give you a month of free time?", I have challenged you to blog about how you spend your perfect month.

I can't wait to read the Buzz with your ideas and will give the Buzz I think is best $100 as a prize.

Hope you have as much fun thinking about it as I did.

No Longer Old Before My Time

Living with a mental illness can be hard, tiring and cruel.  It can wear someone out down to their very soul, making them feel older than they really are.  However, with treatment and, if needed, medications, a person with a mental illness has the potential to shed away that old before their time feeling.

Bipolar Disorder's Sick Cycle Carousel

“So when will this end it goes on and on 
Over and over and over again 
Keep spinning around I know that it won't stop”  ~Lifehouse, Sick Cycle Carousel

Perhaps this is a wrong line of thinking, but I am learning that compared to other moods I have experienced, I actually like hypomania.  I feel like over the past few weeks I felt every emotion under the sun.  Mania. Hypomania. Mixed state. Depression.  By far my favorite has been hypomania.

Are lower quality cameras better for making images for the Web

I have prepared thousands of jpeg images for the web for different websites, so I can definitely say it is something I have done a lot of.

As a result, I have a pretty good idea of which images are going to cause a problem, even before I start to prepare them.

By ‘problem’ I mean that the file size of the image is bigger than I would like.

Double Trouble

Ways to deal with bullies ... how do you handle bullies? ... allow yourself to be intimidated, or use their aggression against them? ... "the brother's harrowing howls grew a bit more shrill each time one of those Vespula maculatas made contact ... from that day forth Lamar Beefeater and Luther DooLittle didn't have to concern themselves with any further onslaughts of hostility from Bertram and Bernard Sedgewick ... I reckon all those agonizing, well-placed bee stings had made them immune to it!"

Web Analytics Industry Consolidation

From the looks of things to me, pure web analytics may soon become folded into larger business intelligence solutions. This would make a lot of sense – if you can tie together all your social media metrics, web metrics, CRM metrics, and so on into a single solution, you get a much better idea of the performance of all your marketing efforts.

Water Water Everywhere: Desalination

Lanzarote have been pioneers in the desalination of water on a big scale. They have had the task of delivering fresh water to all the inhabitants of the island as well as tourists. Lanzarote has no fresh water so the task of finding a way to deliver fresh water has been essential for the islands survival. The desalination plant has been a success in taking water from the sea and removing the salt so it is fit for human consumption and agriculture. Unfortunately the desalination plant also emits a lot of pollution.

In the fog: Dealing with Depression as an Artist

I've dealt with depression for most of my life, but it's only been in recent years that I've begun to recognize how many other people are struggling with it too. Depression is silent by its very nature, isolating and stifling, alienating us from those who would help us and those outlets that usually give us happiness. I've found that it seems creative individuals tend to suffer most acutely; the more I poll my friends, writers, actors, painters, costumers and the like, the more I find they have struggled with this insidious illness too.

Shopping for Unusual Gifts

When you give an ordinary run-of-the-mill gift, sure you fulfill an obligation, but that's about all you do. When you give unique, unusual gifts, you show the people receiving them that you really care. You show that you took the time to seek out something different—something that shows you're giving a gift because you want to, not simply because you have to.

I love to shop for birthays and holidays. I am always looking for something different to give. What unusual gifts do you give or would like to receive as a gift?

America Needs A Grandmother Lodge

Long ago in the North East of this land, the Iroquois (known amongst themselves as the Haudenosaunee), under the direction of a great peacekeeper, built a strong confederacy for the mutual good of their member nations. Not only did the five nations of the Mohawk, the Oneidas, the Onondagas, the Cayugas, and the Seneca benefit from this structure, but also the 13 English colonies which later became the United States of America – because it modeled the government of the Haudenosaunee.

The blog has been stolen by ninjas

Video games have come a long way in terms of story over the past three decades. Back in the days when 8 bit was the new 4 bit and you had to use your imagination to fill in the gaps between those pixels, the only plot you really needed was “you’re a good guy. Everyone else is bad. Kill kill kill.”
