Share A Book at Bookcrossing.com
I don't know about you but I never know what to do with books when I am done. I loan some to friends and keep a few others on the bookshelf but many times I end up selling them for pennies on the dollar to the half price bookstore or trying to give them to a library. (true story- I asked about giving books at our local library and they turned me away - they get too many!)
It is a neat way to share a good book.

Adding Time-Warner Cable Service
It would also be a nice way to offer promotions so a person could add a channel at no cost to sample it. It continues to be the best deal to bundle the service together (if you need it)

Reward Points
So I came across this site for frequent fliers. I am just starting to dig into it but it looks promising. I have explored some of the individual airlines and redeemed points for smaller rewards. This seems to work well (like getting a giftcard to Sharper Image or a magazine subscription).

Computer Consulting
I participated in a seminar the other morning. I was one of the younger people in the audience and while we were waiting for the session to begin a conversation started about tech support. I didn’t tell anyone that I did computer consulting on the side and just listened to the conversation.
One of the people talked about how they called for help on the computer and someone from India “took control” of their PC and helped fix the problem. This is pretty common today with large companies such as Dell outsourcing tech support to low cost countries.
I still find that we learn best from simply having a person sitting next to you and walking through the steps. For some things the remote support works well but not for everything. I really enjoy helping people with technology but I have to say I am amazed that a small computer company doesn’t offer in-home training. (not set-up mind you – but actual training)
