This has been a grand week for me. Lots of fun, lots of work & lots of friends.
I even spent some time with a nice girl I fancy. Imagine that. Your good friend Christian spending time with a girl. You see, pigs do fly! Well, I’ll stop with the jokes now. We all know I’m a ladies man.
Feng Shui Your Website
There’s a spectacular little guide online that shares with you how to make your website more desirable, and turn your traffic into customers. I’m looking forward to spending more time with this Feng Shui website guide, and sprucing up some of my web projects.
Some Great New Blogs
We’re always in need of some new reading material. Right? Know someone that should be listed here? Let me know.
- 24 Must Read Blogs for Freelancers, Designers, Bloggers, Etc.
- You’re The Boss Blog
- Finding The Universe
Are You Likeable?
12 Most recently published a piece on the 12 Most Effective Ways to Be Likeable on Facebook. Are you likable? I like myself, but maybe I should ask this questions of others more often.
While you’re in the “like” mood, I also published a piece on what people like.
Your Year In Photos
My good friend, Benny Hsu, recently unveiled a brilliant iPhone app. Each day you have the ability to save a photo on the app, and cumulatively, they create a year of your life (in the form of a calendar) in photos. Show your support and check it out.
Extra Extra!
I just thought this website was wicked cool. What a design!

"You’re such a smart boy!" were his first accolades heard. So, it’s no wonder that this phrase became the title of his business, Smart Boy Designs.

Ah, a ladies man! Happy to hear that you are spending more time with a really nice young lady! I knew you had it in you!
Enjoyed this post and will have to definitely check out that post on Feng Shuing my website. That will be pretty cool to read.
I LOVE Benny’s app. Now I can say I know someone who has actually created one and is having success. What a cool idea and I took my first couple of photos just last week with it. That reminds me, I better go and write him a review.
Thanks for these cool sites and mentions Christian. Hope you are having a fun weekend.

It’s been fun! And you’re just going to love that website about “fenging” up your website. Such great information. Worthwhile to implement for sure!
It’s been a very full, fun week and weekend. Excited for another!
But Christian, we didn’t spend time together this week… so that means…. WHAT?!? (insert pout).

Thank you for reading and listening Carolyn. Always fun to share the joy I experience with others. Then it just makes it that much more fun and exciting!
That link at the bottom is really cool! I wonder how people create animated websites without Flash. Must be Javascript. Seems complicated but looks awesome!
Also Ben’s app looks pretty sweet. I checked it out and am very impressed. Maybe one day I can create a iPhone/iPad app. Would be lots of fun.

Sure does. There are some really, really talented designers and people out there. They sure know their stuff.
Yeah, you definitely should check out the app. Great stuff for certain. I think he has a long road of app development ahead of him. Sure hope he invests some of that cash into his next app. Would be great!

I agree, Benny’s app is awesome. A quality app at a bargain price.

Hey, i did notice those videos on youtube with people taking pictures of themselves and turning them into a short movie that actually spans over a couple years. The app is close to that, since i imagine it takes a lot of time making an album like that manually out of hundreds of pictures.

Christian, aloha. Look forward to learning how to feng shui my site. Until I read this post I have to admit the thought never crossed my mind. That being said, it does make perfect sense.
Though I do not have an iPhone, my very dearest friend is a raving iPhoen fanatic and a truly great photographer. As soon as I finish commenting I am going to send her the info on Benny’s app. She’ll love it. She is on vacation right now in San Francisco so it is a perfect time to start her year.
Thx so much for all the goodies, Christian. Until later, aloha. Janet

Isn’t adding feng shui to your blog just brilliant? I love that little design tutorial. Great work there.
I don’t have an iPhone either, but the app works great on my iPod touch. I’m still deciding whether I want to upgrade my Blackberry to Droid or iPhone. Such a tough decision for me!
