Sorry I haven’t sent out a newsletter… 2008-05-24 23:00:01 … but I seem to be having an issue with WP2.5 and ShiftThis Newsletter…
It’s going to make me crazy.
Luckily it isn’t a long trip.

Video Tour posted for 9010 Brixham Court 2008-05-26 23:31:01 And a great tour it is.
This is a beautiful home. There is just no way around it. As soon as I knew I was getting the listing, I also knew that I would need to showcase just how magnificent this home was.
I called up AtlantaDwellings.tv and talked with Tara Jones. She brought [...] Read more:Court
Keeping up with info… 2008-05-27 23:10:42 A couple of things have happened recently that have had me thinking about this… so I’m going to spill some beans.
I read… I read a lot! I had a current list of about 30 blogs that I follow. Some only post occasionally, others post 10 or 15 posts each day. Going to all of these [...]
But it isn’t perfect… 2008-05-28 23:02:49 First, let me get this out of the way… nothing is perfect.
But, let’s say that you just ran across a house. It looks really great. Love the brick… oh, there is a Home Theater… and the English Pub… wow.
The Dining Room is nice, and the layout is good. But I wish it were a [...]

How is my stuff going to fit? 2008-05-29 23:31:41 As a real estate agent, one of the things I get to notice is what happens when people like a house. Almost every time, there is a moment of realization… and then the need for a tape measure… and six more visits.
I had a client that had one piece of furniture that they were literally [...] Read more:stuff
Maybe it explains their 122 year history 2008-05-31 22:32:38 I normally don’t like to pimp specific companies products too much… unless I am presenting competitive products as well, but I just wanted to commend Sears.
No, I didn’t go to a store and get amazing customer service. No I didn’t order something off the internet from them. I didn’t even stumble across an [...] Read more:Maybe
No place for whiners… 2008-06-02 23:02:10 I’m sitting here watching Game 5 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals. As I start this, the teams are in their second overtime. Detroit leads Pittsburg 3-1 in the series, and they are tied 3-3 in this game.

Wet and wild Video Sunday 2008-06-01 21:12:58 Anyone that reads with regularity knows that I like off-road racing. It doesn’t get much more off-road than this…
Who doesn’t like the very thought of a thousand horsepower or more…

Should I change or should I no? 2008-06-04 00:04:06 I have been playing with the idea of a little change over on GarageHomesUSA.com. I keep seeing the site and wondering if I should update the look. I’m working over the content for the June issue, and just feel like a bigger change might be good.
On the plus side… it would be fresh.
On the minus [...]
A little more good noise… 2008-06-05 17:26:10 Steven “Obeoman” Stearns called me yesterday while I was talking with the reporter from the AJC (actually, he IM’d me… and then called after I was off the phone). He is the Social Media Marketing guru for Obeo, the provider of some of the cool toys with which I outfit listings. He wanted an interview [...] Read more:little
I’m everywhere… 2008-06-04 22:41:44 Earlier today I had a conversation with a reporter from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about real estate market values in Gwinnett County. He is working on a story about the effects to the market last year and wanted a “from the trenches” perspective. We had a great conversation for over an hour.
There were a few things [...] Read more:everywhere
So, do you wonder what I sound like? 2008-06-06 16:47:09 Well… here you go…
When I had AtlantaDwellings.tv do the property video for 9010 Brixham Court in Suwanee, they also shot an agent profile on-site. Without further ado… here you go.

Incrementalism… 2008-06-07 11:19:21 Incrementalism is a concept that a lot of people in the automotive hobby are familiar with… in theory, if not the word itself. So, let me give a definition…
Incrementalism refers to the practice of just changing things a little bit… over time… piece by piece.
This would be opposed to going “All In” or whole hog.

Sunday, Mini-Vid Sunday 2008-06-08 21:26:19 Gas is $4/gallon, and Diesel is leaning on $5/gallon. 4wheeling is getting to be an even more expensive hobby. It is pretty easy to drop $50 into the tank of the trail rig, and $200 into the tow rig for a weekend. Even for the folks that don’t tow, the weekend might [...] Read more:Sunday
Gwinnett County Market Report, April/May, 2008 2008-06-10 19:29:10 Please note - While the market reports serve a vital function, providing info about the local market conditions… they are kind of dry. So, I’m looking for ways to get the info across in a complete, but more entertaining way. This is first in a series of market reports over the next few [...] Read more:Gwinnett

Video Sunday… Racing in 3 Dimensions 2008-06-15 22:57:09 So much racing is done primarily in two dimensions… even if the tracks have elevation changes, it isn’t like the racers are having to account for terrain.
Not so with off-road racing. Rally, desert racing, stadium and short course off-road racing. These each have a lot of terrain that needs to be accounted for [...] Read more:Sunday

Oil Bubble? 2008-06-18 00:03:56 Not real estate related, except on the farthest periphery…
Could the price of oil be in a bubble right now? Of course, the industry experts are convinced that oil price escalation is different that real estate price escalation was… or internet stocks… or oil back in the 1970s… Of course, real estate was different than all [...] Read more:Bubble
I thought long and hard… 2008-06-22 22:37:06 The Drag Racing world lost a hero yesterday. Scott Kalitta was killed while qualifying his car. The Kalitta family is well known and respected in the Drag Racing community.
Scott was 46 years old and is survived by his wife, Kathy, and sons Colin and Corey.

Could I ask for a nicer day? 2008-06-19 22:37:15 I don’t think so…
It was an incredibly beautiful day today, and I don’t think I could have hoped for a nicer one.
Sorry this isn’t about real estate or cars… but it was just so nice.
If you aren’t in Atlanta… sorry.
