I read techcrunch regularly, they did a review on it a while back. http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/03/22/plaxo-now-with-less-evil/ 2 email accounts is probably a good thing. I have the same, one address is just for things i don't care too much for, but need a valid email address for the rest goes to my personal gmail account. As for blogs and other tools like calendaring, note taking and all that, I'm in to a bit too many and need to hone it down to get a handle of it, but I guess i'm waiting for the perfect products to come out. hope that helps..?

I have 1 blog, 2 e-mail accounts, but I know there is more to learn. Share some wisdom with me Lon. Have you used or know what Plaxo is? http://www.plaxo.com

I feel the same way sometimes, like it's all been done, and my choices available seem to have gone through someone else's filter already... but maybe that's how others have felt in the past, just before they decided to try again and create something unique. I'm not saying that everything needs to always be original. I just find sometimes we fuel our insecurity by looking to brands, or everyone else, rather than taking the time to reflect on or risk being ourselves. If there's something out there that really resonates with your soul, my take is, by all means take it, rip it off, make it yours. I'm just saddened when we buy into things simply because someone else did. Marty, great thoughts.

People say we have unlimited choice in America (or Canada for some) but I don't know that that is entirely true. I can buy a pair of jeans but only the ones the stores sell. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we don't have a choice but it is a limited choice. I'm not trying to be original just to prove I'm original. It is just hard. My brother recently attempted to start his own graphic arts design company. He wanted to call it paladrome graphics (or something close to that) with a tag line of "no matter which way you look at it we are the best" His first shirt was to be "YOBANNANNABOY" translated "Yo Bannanna Boy". Only to find out that Paladrome Graphics was already taken. It kind of shut him down for a little while and he just climbed back into his cubicle. In closing I do think the internet has allowed people like Lon and obahsomah to share from the well of their own unique originality but I'm still bound by an inablity to function on the web that ends up being a ceiling to my creative production.

Maybe that's the problem when things we create are 'too' special? Just pulled up a great quote from Erwin McManus: Our planet is marked by golden arches, symbols of our willingness to relinquish uniqueness and line up for more of the same. yeah Zazzle does stamps, but I could see how people might not use them, especially with a picture of Max on it!

It was a picture of Max and said Believe in Miracles...the only thing is they won't use the stamps because they are too special! I made postage stamps last year for Christmas for the grandparents.
