Today is a good day to raise your standards. I.e., check out these inviting ‘contact me’ forms.
Some contact forms make me feel uninvited. But Webdesigner Depot has gathered up a bouquet of excellent forms that make you want to get to know the person or company better. http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2010/05/beautiful-contact-forms-for-your-inspiration/ This is my favorite:

Today is a day for resetting expectations. Unfortunately, I have too many expectations!
One of the great things about going away to an inspirational conference like GEL is that you begin to rethink your priorities. Now that they've changed, I've got to change the expectations of the people involved. In the long run, that's good. In the short run, it's a pain. Marketkeeping is about setting expectations carefully,…

Makes me wish I worked in an office again, almost…
I used to collect quotations but I never found something to do with. Now I’ll just drop them in a jar, but where to put the jar? HelpOthers.org: A “Food for Thought” Jar, 2009-Oct-21, by “BedBug” (via DailyGood.org) When I worked in a busy office, most of my co-workers kept jars of candy on their…

Why I only give lip service to Facebook
I'm an unwilling participant in Facebook. I refuse to invest any time in supporting the application itself, although I will use the tools to help my friends. I thoroughly support Dan Yoder.

Project for the day: Travel Manhattan and take pictures of things still here since I left in 1984
