    Four Common Myths About Backup Software
    Computers affect the way we live, communicate, work, and entertain today more than ever before. So, the information stored on them becomes very significant. Loosing data from your hard drive is at least unpleasant, but in some cases also very expensive. At the same time, not all of us take measures to protect their data. Moreover, day after day we hear about alarming accidents of data loss. But why reliable backup strategies are not as much widespread as data crash accidents? – Perhaps, because people have some wrong notions about backup software and about the problem of data loss in gen

    Goodbye Elevator Speech
    Recently, I spoke to a group of small business owners about the power of knowing your competitive advantage when marketing yourself and your organization.It never seems to fail; someone raised their hand and asked about the elevator speech. I am here to tell you that if you are still utilizing the elevator speech premise, it is time for a change.Granted, you still only have 20-30 seconds to make a strong impression. However, boring them to tears is not how you do it. Too often, the elevator speech creates the well-known Charlie Brown effect. In other words, you are talking
    When it comes to computer technology it is often the case that it takes a large number of people working together to create something new and ingenious. However, we do know from experience that sometimes it is an individual human being who ‘cracks the code’ that leads to a new way of doing things. For isn’t that what technology is, new ways of getting things done? In the case Of Macromedia Flash we have look to one person in particular, Jonathan Gay. This one guy pretty much revolutionised the way animation and sound can now be manipulated to reflect an artist’s vision via contemporary computers and the Internet.

    Here are a couple of Flash examples that just so happen to have been drawn up for articles that I’ve written in the past (Is this shameless self-promotion?): Internet-Dating:-Future-Internet:-Human-Collaboration-Example-2 http://www.m6.net/articles/images/article2.swf is the accompanying animation, and http://www.gavinillustration.com/ is the website of the artist who collaborated with me at the time.

    Wyoming's Uranium Mining Frenzy
    From the first discovery of uranium in Wyoming by J.D. Love in 1951 until the mid 1980s, Wyoming was once among the world's top uranium producers. Since then, a combination of a global depression in uranium producers and the emergence of other low cost producing areas, notably Canada's Athabasca Basin, Central Asia's Kazakhstan, and Africa's Namibia, dropped Wyoming to one of the lower ranking uranium producers. But, over the past five years, the spot price of uranium has reversed its decline and stagnation. Now, Wyoming is again in the spotlight as a significant uranium producer. A vis

    Are Your Stepping Stones in Line?
    Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice.- William Jennings BrianImagine you're on the edge of a river bank. The river is pretty wide and the water is pretty torrid. You know one thing - you want to get to the other side. There's no bridge, but there are plenty of stones around that look big enough to get you there.You start throwing stones out into the river. Some of them just roll right down the river, but that's OK, you just throw a few more out there. Some of them land great and look just like stepping stones. So you throw another an

    Forex Online Training- Learning From Mohammed Ali
    Forex online training is much more than finding a successful strategy or trading technique that delivers consistent profits over time. In the sports world, the winners may have natural ability and talents, and/or superior strength, but not always!What Makes The DifferenceWhat often makes the difference? The individual's mind!In the case of Mohammed Ali, his mental strength and mindset were what set him apart, in addition to his natural talent. Over the years in books and TV interviews he has revealed how he conditioned his mind before a match to give him a ver

    Employees - Your Best Resource or Biggest Threat?
    As a small business owner, how much thought do you give to human resources (HR) compliance? Probably not a lot and that's not uncommon if you only have a few employees. There are legitimate reasons why you haven't felt the need to spend time on HR, but there are even more compelling reasons why you should.I'll be the first to admit that the chances are slim to none that someone from the state or federal government will draw your company's name out of a hat and decide to audit your employment practices. It's not a big secret that the government is severely understaffed for this typ

    So what’s all this got to do with LEGO then? Well I was reading an autobiographical article by the Flash man himself at http://www.adobe.com/macromedia/events/john_gay/ and he tells simply and frankly how his whole method of developing ideas comes from the same process he used as a child when he played with plastic coloured blocks of LEGO. Is he a genius? Maybe...but most probably he's not. The higher probability lies in the idea that he’s a human being like the rest of us, but who has worked very hard throughout his life (sometimes for fun, sometimes for survival/paycheques, sometimes for both) and he’s found a system of evolving ideas that works. This is the system he used to develop both Flash recently and LEGO when he was a little younger.

    1. Choose a problem: Build a LEGO ship.

    2. Develop a vision: What sort of ship will it be? How big will it be? What will it carry?

    3. Build: Build the framework of the ship.

    4. Fill in the details: Design and build the details of the ship, ramps, doors, etc.

    5. Test: Drive the cars (Matchbox, Hotwheels) around the ship and sail the ship whi
