A quick jaunt to Cherokee, NC

We took a quick trip to Cherokee, NC on Sunday, July 5th since it was only about 10 miles away. I was able to take a number of cool pics while we were there. This particular one is pretty funny to me. Personally, I need a little more compelling reason to stay at a Motel than they were offering.
I wrote a quick blog post about this picture over at the DDS blog too.

What’s up with the ads?

So, I’ve had a few questions from folks about how I’m getting MacMall, Amazon, iTunes, and other businesses to advertise on my family blog. The reality of it is this, my business, Digital Design Solution, has established several Affiliate relationships, which include MacMall, Amazon, iTunes, and 37 Signals. The relationship works like this; we place their ads on our blogs and websites, as more and more people read our blogs and visit our websites, they click on the ads and buy things. Once they make a purchase, we get a percentage of that purchase. At present, it’s pretty much a tip jar at best, but our hope is to work towards make it gas money and eventually earn some significant income from these Affiliate relationships.
That having been said, almost everyone buys books from Amazon and music from iTunes. If that’s you, we’d appreciate your support. It’s as simple as getting in the habit of heading to this site or over to the DDS site when you are ready to make an Amazon order or purchase some music from iTunes. From there, click the appropriate ad and once you are in the Affiliate website, we get a commission on everything you buy during that visit. As well, if you or someone you know is planning on buying a Mac anytime soon, please send them our way as well. MacMall has some awesome deals most of the time and we also have an Affiliate relationship directly with the Apple Store online.
So that’s my sales pitch for the week. Stay tuned for some more baseball news shortly. We’re preparing for our trip to Cooperstown, NY, where we’ll play baseball for a week and enjoy getting to finally see the Baseball Hall of Fame. I’m looking so forward to having that experience with Stephen.

So, I came in to 4 last minute tickets to the G-Braves 2:00 p.m. game for yesterday. I ended up checking Stephen out of school and taking him. My business partner came along and brought his son as well. This is what happened between the 8th & 9th innings.

It’s been a long week already

It’s been quite a long week already and we’re just barely past the halfway point. I’ve played a lot of catch up from being in San Francisco last week and I’ve also spent a lot of time following up on all of the new opportunities that have come to DDS during the past few weeks. I’m thankful that the new year has arrived as it appears that many folks were waiting till then to take some action.
Stay tuned, I’ve got some fairly exciting potential news to share during the next few weeks related to DDS and how we plan to grow our business in 2009.
