RockMelt or RockFail

Rockmelt, a new social media driven web browser, has caused some hype in the social-media world in the last few weeks. Today I finally got my hands on a copy of it, and my first impressions were not great. I’m gonna discuss a few features I really see this browser lacking.

Disclaimer: I am not saying this browser sucks, I just want to point out some negative features that are most likely going to keep me from using it, for now. I might post a consecutive post with my features I do like

Business Blogging (Class Assignment)

Posted by Scuba Steve on November 10, 2010 0 comments

So in my Business Communications class, we recently had to write a blog, about business blogging. I felt I should go ahead and blog that here too!

Assignment:

Review the information in your textbook about blogging. This blog has been created to discuss the pros and cons of blogging, what you see as its usefulness in a future business communication class, and what if any structure you think ought to be in place for blogging. Be certain to address the overriding question: Is blogging a viable tool for an academic classroom?

My Response:
A online blog can be a vital asset for any marketing and public relations department of any business. The blog is a great tool, to get in a more personal level with the customers, and share information about whats going on in the business, product changes, improvements, etc. A blog is also a great way for the leaders of the business to discuss about their area of service and how changes in that industry might be affecting them. By operating a blog, the business is able to engage their customers in a discussion about their product, and feedback on how it is working.
As my personal experience using a blog for marketing at Chetsy Photography in Kearney, we have seen much positive feedback from that. We don’t receive direct feedback from readers via comments, but we do hear that clients who come in enjoy reading little messages and the stories behind the images.
We normally post images and stories with the images, how it was shot, etc. Or we post about updates that are coming to the business, staff changes, service changes, and recently we have blogged about the addition of a Lincoln location.
Overall, a blog is a vital tool that almost any business should utilize. The positive results far outweigh the negative feedback and outcomes that could occur.
As for blogging in the classroom I feel that blogging in the classroom could be a great tool but I have yet to see it used correctly yet. Blogging can be a great way to continue class outside of the room and create discussion. I know many people can be shy and have a hard time speaking up in class, and by doing it offline, they can think of their response more, and may be more encouraged to leave a response.

So what do you think? I would love to hear your response on these topics!

Chax

For those of you that operate many different accounts on iChat for the Mac, hate that to see them, you have to have a window open for each of them. I got tired of so many windows with 4 accounts, I was sure that there had to be aw ay to combine them all into one windows. Then I found a great plugin called Chax. “Chax is a collection of minor modifications and additions that make using Apple’s iChat more enjoyable.” » Read more…

Bella Casa – Kearney

Posted by Scuba Steve on November 6, 2010 1 comment

Bella Casa is a new Italian restaurant that recently opened here in Kearney that is full of Mexican restaurants. (I counted at least 10 real quickly) They offer the common Italian foods that you would guess for a normal restaurant. Below I am going to review what I had for lunch and the service.

First, the service, I thought, was amazing. They were quick on food, the waiter was very courteous and even though he was having a bad day, he still put a smile on and was willing to chat. He didn’t come to the table too much, but was there enough to make sure if we needed anything and get pops refilled.

For an appetizer I had the garlic cheese bread. I was very disappointed in this. The bread was still very soft and wasn’t toasted like I would have thought. It was basically not toasted at all. If they were to toast the bread it would be so much better! Now for the main course I had the fettucini alfredo. Overall I thought it was pretty good, but I felt that it may have been lacking a bit in overall flavor. It really could have used some more spice (Whatever is put in that dish normally) I felt it was somewhat bland.

Have you tried Bella Casa yet? I would love to hear what you had there.

This weekend I played in a few shows; one in Broken Bow, NE, and one in York, NE. These were both a blast! I got to meet so many new people and just have a bunch of fun all while helping present the gospel.  The Broken Bow show was really great because, even though we had a crowd of about 25 people, we saw 5 kids become saved, and they all had a ton of fun!  York was also fun in that we got to hang out with several other bands including my new friends Midlife Boys (Check them out on Facebook by clicking here!).

Texting While Driving

Posted by Scuba Steve on July 21, 2010 6 comments

Last Thursday, a new law went into effect making texting while driving illegal in Nebraska for all ages.  Previously anyone under the age of 18 was not allowed to text while driving.

The law prohibits the use of a handheld wireless communication device to read, manually type, or send a written communication while operating a vehicle that is moving.

This new law, is a second offense in the state of Nebraska in that the driver must be committing another crime, such as speeding to be pulled over and ticketed for this.  This is the same way that the seatbelt law is set up in Nebraska.
