Dan Taylor - Part 4

Merry Christmas…sh**ter was full!

Dec 7th

Some of you might already know about my love of Christmas films. I have about 7-8 that I go through during the holiday season, but one always remains the climax: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. While packed to the hilt with comedic gems, there’s one character, and one scene in particular that always does it for me. ”Now how about some eggnog, Clark?”

While it’s a few months old now – I finally dusted off the footage from this past summers’ roadtrip through Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, and a tiny bit of Germany. Enjoy!

By the looks of things around here, you’d think that I’d gone a little AWOL – and part of that is true. I guess when you work on others’ blogs, copy, marketing, and video production – your own personal blog takes a back seat (funny how that making money to pay the bills thing works). So without further adieu…let me bring ya’ll up to speed on what I’ve been working on.

MindMeister

As I wrote back in the beginning of October, I’ve started working with MindMeister in a variety of capacities. Truly, this is one of the best gigs I’ve ever had. Not only is Michael Hollauf (my boss), one of the most supportive people I’ve ever worked with, he’s also very open to any and all marketing ideas. One of the first projects I did with MindMeister is the 4:37 screencast that went up about a month ago.

Let InvisibleHand guide you to better buying

It’s not too often that I get really jazzed about browser plugins, but this one, InvisbleHand is simply too genius NOT to get jazzed about. The concept is simple enough, but no one’s gone the distance to actually write the script. Until now.

InvisibleHand is a firefox addon that will let you know when a product you’re viewing is available elsewhere at a lower price. If you’re like me, you might go to one of the big guys first to have detailed product descriptions, images, etc., and then likely begin the Googling to find it at a better price. InvisibleHand does the work for you (and probably does a better job).
