Ever want to download or record streaming audio and then convert it to mp3?
The Ask and Record Toolbar is a nifty tool that lets you download, record and convert a audio and video from right within your web browser. It works with both Firefox and Internet Explorer and is super easy to use. The sound quality was awesome and I give it two thumbs up. Oh, and did I mention that it is totally FREE?!!

I was feeling inspired and took a few minutes to come up with some neat social networking icons/badges. The set comes in two sizes (64×64 and 48×48) includes icons for MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and a RSS feed. Looking for another social networking icon to match? Just let me know and when I have a couple minutes to whip one up, I will add it.
Feel free to download these free social networking icons and use them on your website or blog. An acknowledgment is not necessary but is appreciated!
Social networking sites have become a source of instant, uncensored, free exchange of information and the impact this has had on pop culture, politics and businesses practices and marketing strategies is incredible.
The news of Michael Jackson’s cardiac arrest and ensuing death spread across the web like a wild fire. Without a doubt, Michael’s death had a huge global interest because of its impact on pop culture and its general interest appeal. It has been reported that over 30% of total Tweet volume in the hours during and after Michael’s death were related to the event and apparently Facebook, with its larger following, actually topped Twitters figures. The remarkable thing is this was all happening in real-time and before most of the major news outlets were reporting the occurrences. We knew when Michael was rushed to hospital, we then knew it was a possible cardiac arrest and then we were sadly aware that he had, indeed, passed away. But there are equally significant examples of the power of social media and how they can have an impact in politics and economics.
I received an email the other day from a company [name withheld to protect the guilty!] that provides online booking software for spas. This is a great functionality to add to a website and I have recommended them to more than one web design client in the past. My bone of contention wasn’t with the actual business but rather, with the email I received. The email was of a promotional nature and had a great special for the month of May. Fantastic! I actually thought about sharing the details on Twitter until I tried to find a link on the email to their website. There was not one active link to their website. That meant if I really wanted to share the site I would have had to type in the url or Google it. Guess what? I couldn’t be bothered. I was too busy and moved on to the next email in my very full inbox.
If you have a WordPress blog you probably learned the hard way that pasting from word can create a mess of your template unless you use the “Paste From Word” button. I have a few clients that are new to WYSIWYG editors and blogging in general, so I created this video tutorial to help show how to painlessly paste from a word document to a WordPress post.
I am excited to announce the recent launch of FraserValleyPulse.com. I have worked with Kristi Ferguson, the founder and editor of FraserValleyPulse.com, for several years now, so when she came to me with a new project I couldn’t wait to get started! Her enthusiasm for her new venture was contagious and it became my responsibility to bring her vision for the site to life.
