I have just let this blog evolve. I purposely didn’t write a tight description because to be honest I couldn’t rely upon myself to stick to one theme. Calling it a blog about ‘Life’ was as close as I could get.
Now that I am some way down the road though I can look at the content and see that it reflects more or less what my business life is about. I love techie things but am passionate about applying the cutting edge tech stuff with my real interest – healthy body and mind and self improvement of any kind.
I also notice that there is little about my domestic life – which is not deliberate as I am fairly open about all areas of my life – so maybe I will weave in a few more personal posts over the coming months.
But not today…..
My eyes seemed to be drawn to techie matters this morning in my usual 30 minute trawl through my Google Reader RSS feeds. (btw this is my number one method of keeping up to speed with all developments on the web – I see an article coming on) There are some great things going on and here are a few:
WORDPRESS This blog is not alone in being produced on that wonderful platform WordPress. And so by the way is one of our largest sites http://www.adam-eason.com
Now we have been trying to decide when to upgrade Adam’s website to the latest version of WordPress – I must admit I am nervous as it is such a large site. We have stalled because a new version is due out later this month and is in beta testing at the moment. So it was great to come across a great description of the new WordPress and what is in store – thank you Technosailor: http://technosailor.com/2008/11/18/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-wordpress-27/ GOOGLE VOICE APP Always there at the cutting edge and a real gadget freak is one of my favourite online personalities Ed Dale. I saw an article the other day about Googles new voice activation search for the iPhone and so it was great to see Ed putting the technology through it’s paces with his Australian drawl. If Ed can make that voice activation work anyone can.

What will the next 24 hours throw up in my Google Reader – 24 hours is a long time on the Internet and who knows. That is the excitement I get from this media.
Hi - I am Keith Watson.
This blog is dedicated to Banger - a teacher from my teenage years who - at least once a week - insisted upon cracking the hilarious - and I have to say - never heard before line "What's on Watson?".
I would smile demurely - the rest of the class would fall about with sides aching - and life would go on for another week.
'Wats-on My Mind' I have decided will assist me personally as well as be of interest to others (I hope) who share my challenges. It will help keep me organised and document my activities so that I know what I did yesterday.
You think I am joking!!
I have been in the website development game since 1993 and have been involved with over 2000 website builds (with the help of my fantastic team of freelance programmers)
It was only in the last two years though that I have moved over to making money for myself on line and in particular linking up with an amazing talent called Adam Eason to produce and distribute self help and hypnotherapy products.
As a result of looking to promote these products I have downloaded hundreds of internet marketing articles and e-books, studied countless reports, tested list building tactics, butterflied, boot-camped, buzzed, adsensed, affiliated, met a jerk, jv'ed, plr given-awayed, and generally suffered from information overload.
My computer - presumably in a fit of pique or simply demanding a holiday has given up the ghost on at least two occassions - causing me even more stress.
Oh this simple business of making money online.
BUT the great news is that it is all working and our list has grown - I have found some gurus I have complete faith in - and Adam and I are actually making money from our endeavours.
Some way to go but I am more relaxed and can spot a phoney over hyped, sexed up, must have latest product which you must either buy or if not, simply fade into oblivion. There’s not room on this Internet for the two of us.
This ramble of an introduction is really to set the scene for I am sure an interesting journey which I invite you to join. In fact I want you to help me find the right tools, scripts, plugins etc. etc, that will catapult me into the stratosphere of success. I hope you will be there with me.
I don't just consider success in a monetary sense. I so want to help some friends of mine who are involved in Christian missionary work in some pretty harrowing parts of this world. If I can bring any help to their missions that will give me more satisfaction than anything else.
I really, really do love this web stuff and the people you meet. I am convinced that this powerful technology can be harnessed to do some good.
