August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009

Between the Jackson 5 and his solo career, Michael Jackson scored more than 60 Top 40 hits. Click here to read John Soeder’s Top 10: Essential songs.

I think the song that stands out the most with me is ♫Ben♫ because I can remember seeing Michael Jackson sing this on TV with my family. and thinking  WOW he has a great voice… I wonder if I practiced…? LOL.  The choreography got better and better.  My voice did not *GRINS*.

What’s you favourite Michael Jackson song/video?

Heidi, aka Snowgoose of Nerd Mag (http://nerdmag.co.za) wrote an article on twitiquette (new word?) that’s well worth reading if you’re interested in utilizing one of the fastest growing trend in the Internet today.

My favourite one is…
#9. Tweet nothing else but what song you are listening to

We can’t actually hear the music so we don’t care what you are listening to. It’s as simple as that.

Most are common sense, which seems to be a little scarce these days, or is it that people’s fingers work faster than their brains?

This flash website demonstrates many of the key elements of an effective website. The content is clearly displayed, is attractively designed and arranged to engage the visitor.  The hook (newsletter signup) is prominently displayed at the bottom of the page, and fan club promises a constant flow of more (web glue).

I liked being greeted with the soothing sounds of surf and gentle strumming of his guitar, and ability to easily listen to his other music, but would’ve been nice to have mute feature so I could surf in silence.  

This website features many revenue streams for Kenney; advertising for Corona, Gibson Pure, fan club, and of course the store with a cool variety of items for fans, so my guess would be that this marketing piece is far more than a pretty brochure, but rather a robust revenue generator in it’s own right.

My only criticism would be the few flow hickups with his new radio show and fan club, which is common with expensive-to-upgrade all-flash websites.

What do you think of this website?

Hats off to Alzheimer Toronto for organizing the 2009 Manulife Financial Walk for Memories on January 31, 2009 at Allen Labert Galleria, Brookfield Place, on Yonge Street, in Toronto, Ontario to raise funds for Alzheimer Society.

Alzheimer Society sure does know how to put on a fun and organized rally filled with super heros, celebrities, jugglers, musicians, magicians, dancers, escape artists, stilt-walkers and more, in addition to the 3/4 hour window-shop through Toronto’s (underground) Path, which connects some of Toronto’s finest high rises.

We enjoyed the continental breakfast and seamless and courteous registration and inspiration an event like this generates.

There were awesome costumes, like first place winners “Biker Grannies from Hell” shown inset.

To experience it from my camera, please do visit my facebook galleries; the Alzheimer Walk and The Path and please add your comments or request higher quality version if you’d like to reprint!

Team aWEBthatWORKS raised $538.00 for Alzheimer Society in it’s inaugral year, thanks to the generosity shown by:

We had a lot of fun, plan to do it again next year, and hope you’ll join us. Click here for more information on joining the aWEBthatWORKS team and/or creating your own team.

Hope to see you in 2010!

“Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body.”

Many thanks to David Cohen of Small Business Big Ideas for inviting me to Royal Canadian Air Farce‘s final flight, the last episode of air farce as the show has been cancelled after 16 years on CBC.

The show was AWESOME… In the Parliamentary crisis, desperate leaders woo the Vice-Regal Decider; A store clerk works his musical holiday spirit; Jim Flaherty’s financial package has stimulated the wrong Dion; Jack Layton and a silent partner practise their coup-making; Friday Night News; Bank Lady Edith Wilkens and Jerry the Bitter Clown outline a new investment; A car salesman drives a self-squeezing bargain; Farce Flashbacks. 

As usual, I took tons of pictures which are now up on my facebook page… http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=52701&l=07064&id=555021901

Watch for me (in the audience) when the taping airs – tonight at 8pm on CBC.
