Since I had previously done an audio version of some of those Chuck Norris facts, a friend recently suggested that I do the same for some of the new Sarah Palin facts…so if you enjoy that kind of humor (as I do), come have a listen. If you like it, please consider sharing it with a friend or social bookmarking it.

Also, I released an album of my original songs for kids a few years back under the name Chuck Brown & The Chuckleberries. As of today, I’ve decided to make the whole album available for free download. If you have young kids or know of some kids who love music, give it a listen. You’ll find all 13 free kids songs from the album… plus a never-heard-before BONUS song download called “Bunny Baby”.

Thanks…now back to your regular Saturday programming!

One of the great lessons I’ve had to learn over the years of doing business online is that of “standing in the stream”. In essence, what that means is that people are looking for stuff they want/need online…and they are going to search for it in whatever way makes the most sense to them. In the old-school model, you first needed to create a perception of need and then brand your product so that it was tied (in people’s minds) to your product as the solution. But, in the internet age, it’s backward…if you’ve got a product that meets a need, you find out what “they” (the peeps) are looking for already, and then you get out there and “stand in the stream” where they are already searching.

Happy 4th of July! Because the 3rd is my birthday, I’ve always had an odd attachment to this particular holiday. And yet, here it is once again. No fireworks for me this year. For once, I don’t have kids of the age where they need to be taken. I enjoy fireworks, but it’s too much of a chore to get where you need to be to see them best.

I received the picture at right via email this morning, and looked into it a little further. It’s of a field of flowers display created back in ‘02 near Vandenburg AFB in Lompoc, CA. Something like 400 thousand flowers were used to create it. It’s very cool. More details and bigger pictures here.
