If Today Was Your Last Day

Heather Vale Goss — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 18:33:25 +0000

I just read about an influential writer and producer named Joe Bodolai who helped create Canadian comedy TV. He was instrumental in the creation of The Comedy Network, shows like Kids in the Hall and Comics, and co-wrote the original Wayne’s World movie with Mike Myers. He also wrote for SNL. Our paths crossed with [...]

Thanks to Mari Smith for providing a new high-tech resource you can use, for free, to bring your business card or resource into the smartphone age. It’s called uQR.me, and it makes a QR (Quick Response) code that can be scanned by any smartphone. It then takes the user to any link or document of [...]

I just posted a video on the LWL blog that inspired me on multiple levels, and I’m sure it will do the same for you. Read my article and watch the video here: Playing for Change in Japan. Keep Unwrapping the Mysteries of Life! Beautiful on So Many Levels is a post from: Heather Vale [...]

Shoot, Post, Share… Video Made Easy

Heather Vale Goss — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 23:19:26 +0000

My parents live in Ontario, Canada, and we live 3,000 miles away in Southern Oregon. Obviously that makes it difficult for them to see us or Konan, so they miss many of his major milestones — like the 2nd birthday he celebrated last week. I remember when I was a kid, my grandparents were lucky [...]

A Grimm Ending to America’s Got Talent

Heather Vale Goss — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 19:32:19 +0000

Well, another season of America’s Got Talent has ended, with yet another disappointing (or shall we say Grimm?) ending. Yes, that’s right: the results of the show, once again, are poppycock… but unfortunately not of the princely variety. Last year the talent-challenged Kevin Skinner (who I prefer to call Boomhauer) won the competition. I’m not [...]

Famous People Players Were Fighting Gravity First

Heather Vale Goss — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 16:30:36 +0000

As America’s Got Talent moves into the finals, there’s a group of young, funky, awe-inspiring performers called Fighting Gravity that could go all the way. They’re Barry’s favorite act, and one of my faves too. They’re former college students — 13 brothers from the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at Virginia Tech — and they’ve mastered [...]

Geek Dad Offers Creative Solutions for Entertaining Kids

Heather Vale Goss — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:52:14 +0000

I was recently sent a review copy of the book Geek Dad by Ken Denmead, editor of the blog of the same name on Wired magazine’s website. At first I wasn’t sure what to expect — would these be projects that only computer hackers and programmers could hope to pull off? But the truth is, [...]

Act As If You Have What You Want

Heather Vale Goss — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:10:08 +0000

As someone who was born painfully shy, with little self-esteem, I made friends with the “act as if” method (also known as “fake it ‘till you make it”) in high school. I went from a quiet sophomore to a confident, wildly-dressed junior, all thanks to my drama club and one very empowering exercise. See, my [...]

Top 10 Laptop Accessories

Heather Vale Goss — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:57:57 +0000

I know a lot of internet marketers and other business professionals who only ever use a laptop computer. If you do a lot of traveling and like to work on the road, it makes sense to take a laptop along, but you can also work from home (or the park, the gym, the coffee shop, [...]

Can’t Americans Judge American Talent?

Heather Vale Goss — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 18:13:40 +0000

So a new season of America’s Got Talent has launched, and this time with American judges suspiciously absent. It was strange enough that it previously featured two Brits — Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne, with heavy accents to prove it — but now the only previous American-born judge, David Hasselhoff, has been replaced by Canadian-born [...]
