Fake Linkedin Email-Beware Every day I get new spam, and some of it can be dangerous.Today I got my first fake Linkedin email. When I clicked the button to check it out, I was taken to a poker website. That was actually lucky, because I could of opened a malware file or computer exploit. What spammers, hackers and other nefarious evil people do to get access to you and your computer is what is called “spoofing”. They take a legitimate email, like Linkedin, Paypal or banks, and copy all the graphics and then insert their own links into the email. It is quite simple to do and so easy to fall for. These fake Linkedin emails, fake Paypal emails and fake FedEx, UPS and more are becoming a daily occurrence. My advice?

You will see if that invite is in there and you will know you have gotten a bad email. Trash it and carry on. Be wary, be careful and do not trust outside emails that make no sense to you or tell you have […]

I have always kept all my articles and contributions online as part of my business related work. Anyone who has worked with me or knows me, knows I go above the call of duty. I love helping people. I enjoy teaching and empowering people online. Recently I have hit the over 200 client mark and I guess what happens is called growing pains. The little personal website company has to start tightening up a bit and being a bit more picky with the work and not letting themselves get taken advantage of. I guess sometimes the cosmos send you a message. I had a new customer referred to me by someone in one of my training classes. This person who asked me to redo a site for them, and move it over to new hosting. They were in a hurry and they already had a blogging website up and running.

Posted on by

I love the animated Google Doodles that Google puts out once in awhile. Today’s Doodle, “Little Nemo in Slumberland”, was so charming and fun I decided to make a video of it for anyone who may miss it today. Google Doodles does have a cool Google Doodle Museum, which you can view here. The Google Animated Doodle, titled “Little Nemo in Google-land,” has eight comic panels that drop down singularly or in small groups. Clicking on the doodle activates the animation, which first colors in the letters in the Google logo in their traditional colors. I enjoy how fun and fresh the creative team doing this Google Doodles is, (it used to be just one guy doing these doodles for years!) They keep coming up with these fun and cool animations. Thanks guys. I love the old school, older illustrations feel of the drawings. I have some wonderful old Wizard of Oz books from the 30’s that are just gorgeous with this kind of art work. You could take each page and frame it.
