Monday, September 21, was my birthday. I was working in my office (detached from my house) when my son-in-law came running in saying the house was full of smoke.

We ran back to the house, and found a fire in the enclosed back porch in the clothes dryer plug assembly. We killed the power, called 911 and tried to put it out with pitchers of water. No such luck.

The local fire department arrived and put water on the fire and got it out, but not before the fire had gone up the wall to the bedroom just above. Total fire damage was not too bad, but then the water and smoke. The total downstairs of the house had both ceiling and floor water damage, plus smoke damage to all electronics, such as tvs and Directv DVRs (three each). Fortuneately I have good insurance, putting the family up in a nice hotel, and paying us for extra things like taking child to school (walking before, 30 miles round trip 2 times a day now), what we spend (and time) on cleaning our clothes, etc.

I am now writing this from my hotel. I have found out that their Wi-Fi isn’t so great. I manage 2 servers and do a backup three times a week and download to my PC to my external hard drive, keeping at least 5 generations. With this Wi-Fi I can’t do my backup download.

But like the song says, “I will survive”

Save Big Bucks And Get Great, Professional-Looking Results When You Do It Yourself With
"Graphic-Design Secrets For Direct Marketers"

If you’re tired of being held hostage by graphic designers…tired of shelling out $150 or more for every little product idea you have and then waiting for days or weeks for your graphics, then I have fantastic news…

You can now create your own graphics without buying expensive software or hiring a specialist!

Dear fellow direct marketer,

If you sell products on the internet, you know how frustrating and expensive it can be to find the right graphics for your business.

You create a product, but you aren’t sure whether you want to go full steam with it.

So maybe you hire someone or diddle around on your computer and try to do the graphics for it yourself.

If you aren’t a professionally trained graphic designer and have tried to make graphics with some of the software programs, you know that it can be extremely frustrating and time consuming.

Maybe you’ve tried Macromedia Fireworks? $299 (good program…steep learning curve…I’d say at the very least 15 hours of pain just to get decent)

How about PainShopPro? $79 (Capable of good graphics, but I couldn’t figure it out for some reason)

Photoshop? $649 (Talk about a learning curve…whew! I downloaded the trial version and gave up after 5 or so hours!)

Or maybe you’ve gone to a site like download.com and started downloading a whole heap of random graphics programs in the hope that you find one that you can actually use to get the graphics you want.

Most of these programs just end up using up memory on your computer.

It is frustrating and time consuming…wouldn’t you agree?
