Beeing creativ

Sometimes, when it comes to blogging I simply lack the creativity to write something truely unique. Okay there are many folks out there, that can live with cut and paste, but not me. I wanna be me, and that should be reflected in my posts.
So, when you have problems having creative ideas try this post here.
Pure truth in every step. Where can you get better inspirations, than from creative people. Sometimes a simple little tune from tv or radio can give you the inspiration you need.
So, go out and take a walk with open senses. Inspiration is all arround you.

Cheers,

Chris

Pimp my blog

For all you bloggers out there wanting to add that special touch to your blogs. Just one word: Blender.
Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License
It is all you need to do 3d-graphic and even animated movies.
If I find the time, I´ll do some graphics for this blog.

`till then, happy blogging.

New Style

Hey ho, fellow bloggers.
Finally I got around to switching the layout of the blog. Hope you like it, cause I really do.
There are infinte possibilities, but sadly I don´t have the slightest clue about html-programming.
But hey, I have a long and prosperous life ahead of me, maybe I´ll master that too.
If you have usefull links to html tutorial feel free to submit them.

Till then,

Boosting workmorale

A problem we all face at some point, is moral. You, your staff or coworkers are lacking motivation.
Cruising around, I found this post that I find rather interesting. Check it out here.
Imagine having to chose between doing your work or getting squished by Terry Tate.
You wanna be hit by this guy? I don´t think so.

The impact of blogging on social behaviour

The internet, infinit possibilties.
For someone having problems making new friends in real live, the internet and the blogging community can be the perfect place to make new friends and meet interesting people. For some people it´s even the only possible way to interact with the outside world. For older, more mature persons, who have a grip on their live this can enrich their life. But having witnessed a youngster becomming an internetoholic made me real careful as to what my kids should do on the internet. Young kids tend to prefer the colorful and perfect world of the internet. There are no troubles and noone to bother you. Life is always perfect, and when you find something you don´t like, just click it away. The sbest examples are games like WOW, Everquest or AoC. You run out of gold and made to many enemies, delete the character and start a new one. Real life is not that easy. Having to face big bad teachers, and peers that simply don´t share your opinion can´t be avoided by switching to a different website or server.
On the other side blogging and chatting can have a tremendous impact on the way you treat new people. Curiosity overcomes fear and you step up to them, even if you have to talk with your hands and feet. Your spelling gets better, but only if you know how to spellcheck. *big smile*
As with everything: in controlled doses, the internet can be very good for you, because it expands your horizont, but too much can be areal pain.
When your friends all have l33t names and can all be found in the same chatroom 24/7, take a shower, leave the house and get a real life.


Huzzah!
