Ramblings and Musings, and a great new free deal!

Just a couple of things today, just some rambling off hand thoughts and suggestions.

If you have an old cell phone hanging around the house you don't use or need anymore, consider keeping it in the glove box of your vehicle for emergency 911 calls (keeping it charged, of course). Most phones will connect to 911 even if they're not connected to a cell phone service. At least that's what I've read recently.

Freeze grapes and then use them to chill down your white wine (or red wine) instead of using ice cubes. That way the grapes in your glass won't dilute the wine.

Unclog your drains without expensive (and possibly corrosive) chemicals: pour a half a cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar into a clogged drain. Once it stops foaming rinse down the sink and your drains will be clear. That's a cheap and environmentally friendly way to unclog a sink!

Did you know that putting your phone into airplane mode will charge it twice as fast?

And on a similar note, you can charge your phone while traveling. Many hotel TV's now have handy USB slots in the back that will charge most smart phones.

And speaking of airplane mode, did you know that putting your phone into airplane mode while playing games will stop those annoying ads? That I didn't know, but it makes sense for probably the same reason it charges twice as fast (the phone, not the game).

Now for the freebie. I've put together a set of IM Tech video tutorials that I've allowing you to access for free. They're over at http://rdavidhale.com, and they're only out there for a short time. So click on over to check them out, especially if you're short on newbie knowledge when it comes to the technical side of Internet marketing.

We're still here at the beach, kicking back, soaking in the rays, and generally having a great time. And keeping a well stocked supply of frozen grapes. Till next time,
