FOX 2 AND MOOSJAW ROCK

Yesterday morning I got to meet Jay Towers at the Moosejaw in Birmingham. He did "look lives" all morning promoting Moosejaw's "Backpack Promotion Thing" for the South Oakland Citizens for the Homeless. So far, Moosejaw has collected enough backpacks to support all the guests at SOCH. The extra backpacks will be given to other local charities that can use them. We are so excited that the efforts to help one charity will now help several. Pretty cool.

And you know, I have to say, that of all the local stations, FOX 2 is the one with it's finger on the pulse of Detroit. They cover local news the best, the coolest and the most interestingly. They're the station I watch.

SO MUCH NEWS...so little time...

It's 11:13 AM and I have been up working since 8:00 and I feel like I've accomplished NOTHING. All this social media biz takes time...too much time. But heck, it sure is FUN!

So the BIG news is today I'll be on The Story with Dick Gordon. It's a repeat of an interview I did last Spring. I am excited about it because when the story originally aired, I got a ton of email and some clients too. It was such a great thing for me.

NEXT is FOX 2 is going to cover the Earth Angel's backpack drive at Moosejaw on the FOX Weekend News on Saturday. Jay Towers is meeting me at the store and he'll be sending feeds back throughout the morning. How cool is that??

Please consider donating a gently used backpack to Moosejaw and get a whopping 20% off a totally cool new one!

YOUneek TV Episode 2

Episode 2 of YOUneek TV airs this week on the Community Media Network and we are delighted to announce our show may be picked up by the Farmington/Farmington Hills public access station too! How cool is that!

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

I started working at home in February. It was a blessing in many ways. This year for the first time in SIXTEEN years I got to stay home with my kids for summer vacation. (Just in time too. Dylan will be a Junior this fall.)

While sitting on the sofa, with a beagle in my lap, designing website does wonders for my heart and soul it's, er, not so good for the rest of my body.

Yesterday, I got an announcement about a new Wii game called "Your Shape". Here's it's claim:

What makes this game not-like-the-others is that it actually contains a camera allowing players to project their own likeness within the game! So it can correct improper positioning or help tone, slim any “problem” areas. Plus there are 480 fun workouts to choose from. This game provides the luxury of having your own (virtual) personal trainer in the comfort of your home!

I checked out the website: http://www.yourshapegame.com/. I am really intrigued. It doesn't come out for a couple of months, but I can't wait to try it.

A new game for MOM. Yippee! Stay posted. I'll tell you how it workouts for me!

NEW CAR FOR DYLAN

Dylan passed his driver's test!

We're picking up this 2003 Ford Taurus with 51,671 miles this week. I don't think it was Dylan's first choice, but it's what he's used to driving. And from my perspective it's relatively safe. We test drove some smaller cars and they felt a little scary.

I'm so happy he can get himself to and from practice now and drive to school.

NAVIGATING CHANGE

I had the pleasure of doing a radio interview with Lisa Mininni, the author of "Me, Myself and Why?" You can listen to the interview in it's entirety by clicking here.

I also did a TV interview at the Community Media Network for a new show (no title for it yet). Check http://www.cmntv.org/ for programming or check back here in a couple of days.

And...the big news for the Davids family today is we got AT&T U-verse. My POOR kids have never had cable TV. Willie finally convinced us to do it and I am looking forward to watching lots of crap on the boob tube.

YOUneek TV

Woo! Woo! I just finished producing/editing AND scoring (I used Garbageband software) the first episode of YOUneek TV. I am co-producing with Teri Williams and Lisa Marie of MetroChick Radio hosts.
