So, how many of you have heard of this? The X Prize.
Back when I wrote the A-Z series, it was my back up plan for the letter X. Currently, it doesn’t have much relevance to real estate, but one day it might.
The original X Prize was

Looking forward to a little camping!

You heard it. At the end of the week, I’ll be off to the wilds to do a little camping. While it isn’t as much of an outdoor experience as some, it is a nice place to get away. That also means that I won’t have new posts up Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The Southern Four Wheel Drive Association (SFWDA) has their 21st Annual Dixie Run outside of Murphy, NC in the Tellico OHV area. I don’t think I will even get to fourwheel this year (not really that unusual), since I will be spending most of my time in the registration area. However, my phone won’t have service, and I won’t be reachable from Atlanta for a couple of days.
Can I call a moving company for content?

I have taken a step. In a few weeks, I’ll be making a big change in my real estate career. I’m not ready to announce it yet, but one of the parts is an all new website. Because of the HUGE amount of content I have created do to blogging… and blogging here, I have a LOT of content to put into a site. So, I decided to jump into the world of CMS. I finally was able to set up a test with Joomla, and I think I am really going to like this.
While I know that I probably should hire someone to handle my website, I’m
Shhh… Can you keep a secret?

This is a serious work in progress.
Three days ago, I didn’t know anything about Joomla. I got past the installation, and started populating with content. The first thing on the agenda is getting all of the articles and pertinent blog posts migrated (copied) to the new site as well as put meta tags and descriptions on them.
While all of this is going on, I am having to design menus and figure out the best way to organize the content. The organization has to intuitive for a user that doesn’t know what might be there. I think that the organization is the toughest part of this.
So, if you want to play along, feel free to drop in. If you are on in the evening, you might even see the site change around you while you are there. Buttons will pop up on menus. Themes will change. Content will show up… and then move.
It certainly isn’t “live” for public consumption, but for those that like watching races just to see wrecks… this might be fun… and it will last for weeks.
Now let’s try some cool garage stuff that won’t break the bank

In the last post, I highlighted a few really cool items. Now, I’m going to move the other way and look at some cheap (but still cool) stuff. Of course, I think that the most links I’ve come across have been regarding tool storage. And, tool storage is a biggie. Personally, I have two bottom boxes (rollers). One is a Craftsman box that I’ve had for years, and the other is a US General (Harbor Freight) box. The Craftsman is a 26″ wide box. It has roller bearings and such. The current cost of the box is
