New Squidoo Lenses

It’s been a while since I’ve made squidoo lenses…

My most recent one is for Stray Tales, one of my self-published books. This one is a little different because of how I market it… with an invitation for people to go ahead and color the pages themselves.

I even tell people to send or email me a copy of the colored page and I would put it up. Unfortunately, few do. Oh well. I wish they would though, so I can see how they went about it.

I’ve got all 3 books with their respective lenses.
Still working on this Stray Tales one, with the whole coloring aspect still needing to be added.

Updating Squidoo Lenses

It’s been a while since I’ve been on this blog. I think I just had to take a break -too many sites and things to keep up with.

Anyway, lately I’ve been coming back to squidoo lenses I had made and upgrading them a bit with more information, images, fun gear, etc.

The two I’ve worked on so far are:

1- scooters! I got one earlier this year and have been riding it off and on depending on weather. It’s great fun and inspired me to go back and upgrade this lens a bit.

2- Corto Maltese. I’m a great fan of European comics and Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese adventures are extremely famous all over the world. I’m working on listing the albums for now. I’ve added a few images too for a better visual experience. Next will be some historical context for each album.

Take a minute to go through these squidoo lenses. I’m putting a lot of work into them and rather enjoy the way they’re coming out. Hope you do to.

Squidoo Lens Performance

Just wanted to post a quick update on my squidoo lens, as I have not done so in a while.

I have 2 top performing lens, way ahead of the rest. They take turns being in the lead, though one gets there from SE clicks, and the other from my own signature link through social network and blogs.

The first one is about Eco-Domes and how you can build your own snad bag home. It’s really fun to see one go up in fast forward time through one of the youtube videos I included on the page.

The other is about earning money from home and what people are doing through this one particular program with only a one time lifetime membership of $3.

This one I drive traffic to from sites like myspace and others, and from my business related blog.

So there you are. Check them out. If you are a squidoo member already, leave me a comment, or a hello, or anything you feel inspired too.

Dance Movies and Ballroom Dancing

I’ve just posted a new squidoo lens. It’s been a while since I made one and after watching “Take The Lead” with Antonio Banderas, I felt inspired… who wouldn’t, watching Banderas in an impressive Tango scene? (BTW, you can see what I’m talking about through a youtube video on the lens)

This one is about dance movies -you know, the ones with a usually thin plot revolving around dance in one form or another. I only have a few movies featured for the moment, and do plan on adding more soon.

Ballroom dancing is all the rage now with movies and the current, very popular Dancing With The Star show. There is a certain grace, elegance, and certainly “sexual” aspect to it that makes it mesmerizing to watch.

Here’s an exerpt of the introduction:

Dancing movies inspire us. Sure, some are the epitome of campy, but they make us want to get up and move our bodies, feel the passion of dancing, run away with the dance instructor… oh, uh, ahem, ((cough)), sorry, got a little carried away there.

As I was saying… most dance movies follow a somewhat generic plot line, this being secondary to the visual candy of the dancers. After all, that’s why we watch, isn’t it? To forget our woes and loose ourselves in a magical world.

I’ve got a few titles on my renting list. When I do watch them, I’ll add them on the lens with a quick personal note.

So take a peak, and like I said, be sure to watch the videos:

Enjoy.

Do You Scooter?

I absolutely dream of owing a scooter… which I will in the near future, once I move in a couple month.

I think scooters are the most fun mode of transportation. I personally prefer the older classic type style as being cuter and lighter in size.

Some of the bigger models now hardly look like scooters at all. The larger, more modern models are made for travelling in style and comfort, as well as highway speed. Not what most people would picture in their mind upon hearing the word “scooter” certainly.

However, I can see the need for this evolution, when used for commuting or traveling and needed to keep up with traffic for safety.

On the lighter side, the smaller and more traditional models are very handy for town rides, errants, and short trips on country roads. Which is my intended use. 40 mph seems plenty fast to me and I have no desire whatsoever to be going 60 mph on anything with only 2 wheels.

One of the main thing I look forward to is to join a scooter club or meet up groups. Just the idea of getting together with a bunch of other enthusiasts gets me excited. Looking it up I was amazed and delighted to see the sheer number of these throughout the USA and the world. Good! Let’s have even more clubs!

Scooters use less gas and polute less. Weather not withstanding, is there really a need to drive the car so much?

The other thing I want to do is go to one of these scooter rallies and races! Can you just picture the little vespa going 30 mph around the tracks!    I can’t wait. It’s a whole new world out there once you get that first scooter.

What about you?

Do you own / ride a scooter?

Do you belong to a club in one form or another?

If so, check out my scooter lens and add your club to the list.
