Twitter has limitations with creating custom profiles… backgrounds are difficult to upload and depending on your screen size, they’ll always look different. So, why not take advantage of this twitter craziness and throw in something for the user/viewer to find…?
Here you can see the profile on a regular 1280w screen. Then, when you open the page on a screen with a bigger width, you get a nice little easter egg that includes a 50% off coupon for all products.

Sometimes these start pages can really come in handy… many people resort to igoogle… but there’s plenty of others that have some nice little features, too.

This site is dedicated to technology… we all know that. From time to time, I come across a product or service that’s not related to technology, but is certainly worth mentioning.
I’ve been an athlete my entire life… from about 5 years of age until about 17 years of age, I was into martial arts… big time. I was nationally ranked for several consecutive years, but lost the interest after I earned my 3rd degree black belt – that was years ago. I also played baseball, basketball, and hockey for years… for most of my 20ies, I worked out hard, every day…
I have 3 kids all boys… so needless to say, no time to work out. I started working out again, sort of… from my house, using the fitball, etc.
I was at a meeting a couple months ago with the owner of Max Muscle and he introduced me to a new line of supplements. He said that these supplements were awesome… One of his clients, who is also another client of mine had been taking these supplements for about a month. It was unbelievable! This guy had a ton of energy, shedded about 15 pounds of fat, and looked awesome…
Long story short, I tried the supplements and STRONGLY recommend them to those who need some motivation to get off your lazy asses and get in shape.
Here’s a contest they’re running right now, too… http://www.gottren.com/blog/item/26-weekly-giveaways—week-1

I recently needed a quick fix for client that required a custom widget. I thought I’d use a third party widget application to host it… primarily because I didn’t want to do much work, and there’s actually other benefits – like social marketing.
