Traveling to New Orleans tomorrow for a short weekend. Lizzie and I need to evacuate the house so the floors can be refinished. So Lizzie chose to go to NOLA for the weekend. She had been there about twenty years ago, but I hav never been there.
I will be taking lots of photos and posting them to my Flickr account.

Got home from Puerto Rico late Monday night...had a really awesome time in PR. I got lots of pics, which can be viewed on my Flickr account. Here is the link to various sets of pictures on Flickr.




We had lots of fun in Puerto Rico and would gladly go back to the luxurious Gran Melia.

We got to go Kayaking on a bay that is located near the town of Fajardo that is one of the few Bioluminescent bays on Earth. Check out the link to learn about evening kayaking tours.
One day we went and walked around old San Juan...lovely architecture.
One day I had a bug, and stayed in bed or on the bali bed.

We also got to drive to the opposite shore to the town of Rincon, which reportedly has the best surfing...we saw some lame waves, but clear water.

I just started using Twitter within the last month, and have been really enjoying using it. I especailly enjoyed using it while on the road going to OBX, since it kept me busy and allowed me to make some new blogging contacts.
One contact I encountered, had placed a link to a story he was digging. I watched the story for the next several hours go from 50 some Diggs to well over 1200. I felt like I was watching the bidding for an ebay auction.
Anyway, since last week when we were in OBX, I have been adding several new contacts a day to my twitter account.
I also see that  twitter widgets are available that you can add to your sites like myspace and other blogs, so it will help you to keep your other visitors up to date with your activities.  I have yet to add them, but will in the forseable future.
I am EmperorAnton on twitter.

Just a short little post. We are vacationing in OBX for the week. Lizzie had made reservations on Sunday and we got here last night. Due to a little mix up in the reservations, we got upgraded to a 3500.00 per week house that has 6 bathrooms, pool, hot tub, game room with pool table, air hockey, tv, and foose ball table, golf cart, and numerous decks. All for 650 for the week.

Lizzie had some major drama going on in her life last week, when she was notified that her ex-husband, who she had not seen in about 5 years had OD on heroin. The evil genius had been living under an assumed identity while working as a master carpenter. He previously had been a software engineer, bee keeper, jeweler, musician, and watch repairman. He had also been married to another woman under this identity for nearly three years. Read Lizzies A Bizarre Diversion for more background on this twisted tale.
All the trip pictures will be posted in my Flickr OBX set.

Lizzie and I are getting Married.

She proposed last week, the date is set for June 16th. She is going crazy with the invitations at the moment.
Yesterday she made the Honeymoon reservations for Puerto Rico. I was going to run an auction to see about getting sponsorship, but it was a bit too soon to create the buzz for something like that...after all I am not "pimping us out" as Lizzie says, for 50 bucks. 5000 maybe, but not 50.
More posts about the upcoming wedding are on our Philly travel blog and Lizzies weight loss blog - Fatladysingz.com.

Sometime ago, David Bach was on PBS talking about becoming financially independent by paying yourself first, and doing it automatically so that you don't have to think about it. Since the show was on PBS, during the break, we were asked for money. And for a sizeable donation they were giving away two tickets to see Real Estate and Wealth Expo -Philadelphia. Since we do have a business and want to increase our retirement funds, we decided to make a donation.
So this past weekend we were in Philadelphia for the Wealth Expo. These events, which held through out the country in various cities, enable average people to learn about money making opportunities. In one large area there were smaller companies which were there to get investores or to sell some opportunity such as buying into a company, a piece of real esate, a peice of management software, or someother investment. Then there were smaller classrooms which held a couple hundered people, and had big named opportunities which all involved making a multi thousand dollar purchase at the expo. We did not make any of these purchases, since we do believe in " due diligence".

We did take two of the small investment classes. The first class we took was with Bob Circosta, who is known as the "Billion Dollar Man". Bob was talking to us about selling on TV using the likes of the Home Shopping Network, QVC, or Jewelery Television.For about $4,000 you would get to be a student at Bob's TV Shopping University, where students can determine what a good product, idea, or service for TV infomercial advertising might be. For the price, you will be able to make one 12 minute commercial that will air 5 times. You will also get to keep the video to do what you want.

The other class we took was entitled "Beat Wall Street" with Bob Kittel. This was another sales pitch for a piece of software from Investtools.com, which has been advertised on TV that tells you when to buy or sell stock. Access to the software could be yours for a bargain at 1900.00, which would be for a training workshop and 6 months of  access to the website.

We also got to hear the Donald give a talk on success. This was more entertaining than informative. Donald was really funny. His speach was all over the place. But hey, is Donald Trump, so he can pretty much do what ever he wants.

Do to a family emergency, we were unable to stay for David Bach who was lecturing at 430pm on Sunday. Oh well. We also missed Tony Robbins, who was on early Sunday moring.

In the end, we were both glad we went. but we probably will not be going to another one of these. If you decide to go, wait for the last possible moment, because it seems that price for admission went down as the date of the event approached.

Further posts about our weekend will be on both Pixelheadonline.com and the Travel blog of Lizzie Bean to include more in depth information about the two programs we went to as well as reviews of the Philadephia hotels The Club Quarters and the Sofite as well as numerous Philadelphia restaurant reviews..

Lizzie and I just got back from Atlanta. We, well, Earthinhand was invited to Emory Universities Earth Day festival which was held last Friday. We took my Corn Grill which I keep at Earthinhand, and cooked veggie burgers, veggie dogs, and chicken franks for the people in attendance. The SGA(student government association) had purchased a cooler of food to be grilled which in addition to the above mentioned menu items also included corn on the cob. But due to not recieving power for the corn grill until we had been there for an hour, corn on the cobb was dropped from the menu.
Upon getting electricity, and after starting the corn grill, we were up and cooking within 10 minutes.

Lizzie managed to take over the grilling after I had started cooking. We did make a good team though. As burgers and dogs would be used, I would load up the corn grill with uncooked meat. The Emory students and staff seemed to be very impressed with corn grill, not only because of the free grub, but because of the novelty of cooking with corn.

The first Emory Earth Day Festival was a lot of fun. There were many booths with lots of free stuff. Music was provided by bands from as far away as Hollywood. Hopefully next year, Earthinhand will be able to attend this event again, because we enjoyed ourselves tremendously.

We stayed with Lizzie's brother who is an Emory Law school alumni who lives in Atlanta. During our stay we ate at a number of fine dining establishments that were recommended by Lizzie's brother, to include a fine italian dining experince at La Grotta on Saturday night.

We departed Atlanta with the Corn Grill in tow, and headed for Knoxville, TN, because we did not want to go back home the same way we came. After spending the night at a motel like Courtyard Marriott we headed north. We took a little detour onto the Blue Ridge Parkway in VA, but were only able to drive on it briefly because it was closed after less than an hour of driving.

Apparently the bad weather had blown down many trees the day before. The day before it had actually snowed. I guess a noreaster storm had blown in while we were in Atlanta, which left many parts of the East Coast with out power and under water.
And now it is Tuesday, and we must get back to work. Lizzie and I are both back logged and must work diligently to get caught up.

It has indeed been a while since I postd on myspace.
Updates:

• Recent trips to Hershey, PA and Gananoque will be blogged about on Lizzie Bean Philadelphia travel blog.


• Restaurant reviews are being done on  Thegrubhound.com as time permits.


• Newest directory Jagdirectory.com is now a fully paid directory.  It now has over 1000 listings, and was taking too much time to accept all the free submissions.


• Lizzie and I now work at home on the third floor in our virtual office
Last month I started doing a semi-weekly Mybloglog favorites post, were I do reviews of interesting blogs that I found via Mybloglog.com.  This too is done as time permits. Some weeks are are more busy than others,a s I am sure most peoples lives are pretty much the same.
• We had our 1st quarter meeting last week, to discuss the business: current standings, earnings, sites both active and not active. Discussed goals for upcoming quarter and set date for next quarters meeting.
• Also started an Link Building for SEO(search engine optimisation) series on Pixelheadonline.com, which currently has three posts.

I am sure I am leaving some updates out, but for now that is about it. I do a lot of posting on the Pixelheadonline.com blog, since my face is on the banner.Further updates are forth coming.Adam

Well this is my first post to Myspace this year. I have been very busy with other blogs...business blogs for the most part. Pixelheadonline.com seems to be the blog that I am focusing on now...just got PR4. But also have been doing a lot of customer work to include helping them with their own blogs.
Also made my New Year goals post on Pixelhead and have been pretty dillegent in their progression.


I also influenced Lizzie to start a blog. She decided she would like to do a Weight loss site. She bought the Domain name Fatladysingz.com and installed wordpress on it. Love the top banner. The pic she got the image from was hosted on the wayback machine. A friend of hers had put up a site that had pics of many of her pieces. The piece from about 2004 was one she had given away and has three fat ladies on, but the red being her favorite was incorporated into the banner.
