Quiet Sunday? Let’s Browse The Web

July 26th, 2009 · No Comments

There is a lot to recommend this week, starting with Been Seen’s feature of the Futuro.

My geeky self watches CSPAN’s Brian Lamb and others interview authors. Have you ever explored [...]

July 23rd, 2009 · No Comments

CNN’s John Sutter posted 10 sites to play  ‘new music’  in this article today.  The article makes it sound like a new trend, but it’s not all that new anymore is it? They mention sites like Blip FM and Napster (you have to have lived in a cave not to know Napster). And yes, Blip [...]

July 23rd, 2009 · No Comments

July 9th, 2009 · No Comments

For about two years, there were not a lot of people contacting me to list their homes for sale in zip codes 44144 or 44109.  I had buyers in these neighborhoods but only one listing in two years.  All that has changed, and the rest of the agents in my office feel the same way.  [...]
