Among my friends I am obviously the techy guy that everybody goes to for asking questions on what to purchase when it comes to electronics. DVD players, TVs, laptops, cameras, etc.
This time I had some people asking me what computer to buy – between a Windows laptop and a Macbook.
Max : Male, 20 years old
Max : What should I get? I’ve been using Windows all my life but recently I got into the macs at my university and I’m thinking of getting one myself.
Jeff : Well, Macs have a drag-and-drop …

Having moved 4 times in 2 years as well as sacrificing space for the location (downtown Vancouver rent is no joke), I’ve had to set up many home offices in different homes, and I’ve helped one of my clients set their home office up as well, and I’d like to share that expertise with you.
The KEY element to using space effectively in an home office (or for that matter, anything else) is to use the vertical space as well as the horizontal space. Think 3D more, and try to make …

I usually don’t do the whole restaurant review thing – I just go there and enjoy my food with my friends or by myself, and I couldn’t be bothered to take my camera everywhere. So you probably won’t ever see me telling you about what restaurant was fabulous. But as marketers all understand, 1 bad experience will impact the business much more than series of positive influences, and I intend to exert that force to use.
I went to the Elbow Room which is on the corner of Davie st. and …

Today I’d like to disucss the trend that continues to shape the living dynamics of the upper-class citizens of the 1st world countries, and that is a movement that Mr. Ford started way back when. He invented the assembly line, and his concept was simple – get each guy to do only a certain part of the job, become really good at it, and as a collective, the finished product will be made. It was a revolution in terms of increasing productivity and achieving a higher level of efficiency, as …

OK, so far I’ve had many people compliment me and look up to me for having the guts and grits to quit my corporate job, and jump into having my own design/marketing related business without even a university degree. I’m a highschool grad, age 21, lived on my own since I was 18, and had my own business since I was 20. And so far it’s growing, I’m learning, and I’m happy. I sense accomplishment in my life and I feel that it is moving forward, which is a great …

The NHL playoffs officially began today, and the Vancouver Canucks are in it. Their first series start with the Dallas Stars, a solid hockey franchise from Texas.
I’m not a hockey nerd in the sense of knowing the stats of all the players etc. like some of my friends, but I sure do get into the atmosphere of it when the games are on, especially the playoffs. I am usually OK with missing regular season games and often I never even keep track of when they are, but playoff season is …

So there is another tagging activity going on in this blog community of ours, and this time it is on Obsessive Thoughts – I must list 5 things that I care and obsess most about these days. I was tagged by Gary Lee.

Business – I obsess about business overall. It’s not just in web design etc., but also at the overall scope of it. I look at my finances, plan out where I will be in a month, 6 months, etc. Also I am very dedicated to the clients I …
