Team member survey

While reading the book I'm reading, I came upon an interesting tool for building effective teams: a test that tells you what role you would most efficiently fill in a team. I'm curious to see what the rest of you all rank as so I'll post the link here and await your results:

I'm not a huge believer in all of those color personality tests and whatnot, but I thought this one was interesting. Thanks for trying it out!

Added some pictures

Picassa isn't exactly like webatography and yours sets up the nice looking albums quite a bit better. I added some photos to my albums if anyone wants to look at them. Also, I set up a neat thing for my family on google maps. It is going to be something we are going to use to locate different family members. It still needs more work but it looks like it should work out quite well.

More Memories

I've carried this one for a while now. It would have been extra spiffy if I were the Sterling Scholar for Social Science, but I remember watching all of you go through all of that telling me how lucky I was to not have to worry about it! Wasn't Charie a Sterling Scholar, too? Abe, are there TWO medallions around your neck? These are questions I could never answer over the years. Maybe someone could clue me in here.

I can't remember too much about this one other than I lost the mechanical watch I was wearing in this picture the following week, and that the matching piano theme was purely coincidental!


And of course, if there is any single image in all my High School experiences that contributed to sore abs and falling downs, this is probably it.

I still get a kick out of it!

Hey, this brings up an interesting idea. Could we use Webatography to make a photo album for this blog instead of posting all of our pictures here?

And More Memories

I uploaded a "few" more that I had to an online album. It was quite cool I was able to find some of my old Mavica photos. I have more on my computer as well in case anyone ever wants to see them. If you guys don't know there are a lot of things you can do with a google id like setting up your own online albums. Check out the google more list if you want to know more or let me know I have actually tried out quite a few things.

Ahh the memories




And there are more where they came from (namely from my hard drive).

Professionalism

I've had a lot of people look at some of the projects I've done for people in the past and say "Gee, you really should do something with that!" And ever since the scissorhands costume, I've tried to take pictures along the way to include in a portfolio for future opportunities.

While getting my hair cut recently, the barber advised me "next time you do ANYTHING, take the step as a professional and hire a professional photographer to take those pictures for you. It gives them a sense of surrealism, and will make all the difference." That's true. I see a lot of professional pictures that make some pretty junky stuff look like true works of art. So from now on, whenever I do a project for someone, I'm going to hire Gemini Digital Media to do the photography for me.

Could you work up a couple package options, and price estimates for me. (I'm not going to be pinching pennies here, I plan to pay you like professionals.) I wouldn't be working on anything until September/early October. But if you find something that works well for me, I'll be a loyal costumer for several years to come. How 'bout it?

This battle station is fully operational

I'm announcing that my own blog at benjaminhowe.com is now up and running. The first real post is mostly what I've already posted here, but I invite you all to read up on it and make comments.

On another note, I'm looking for ideas on how to promote Webatography.com. Any input is greatly appreciated. Do any of you know somebody who is big on selling stuff on e-bay? Send 'em over! Real estate agents? People who make and sell crafts and have websites? Underwater basketweavers?

Thanks for your help, and have a happy day.
