My family and I just got back from vacation, and one of my tasks prior to us leaving was to make sure we were charged up and ready to go with all our electronic devices. I started spreading this stuff out on the counter, and started laughing. I don’t remember taking all this equipment on holidays when I was a kid, but now these are items that we have a hard time leaving behind. Here is an itemized list of what we ended up taking.
- My Laptop - We packed light and left my wife’s laptop at home
- PDA/ Cell Phone - equipped with power adapters and car chargers
- 2 other cell phones “just in case”
- IPOD Nano with all our latest tunes ready for the road. I also put 2 GB of Podcasts on my PDA just in case I got sick of music
- IPOD charger and other cables
- FM transmitter for putting the tunes through the vehicle radio
- 2 Way radios and chargers so we could keep in contact while we were at the beach house
- Digital Camcorder with chargers and plenty of mini dv tapes
- Portable DVD player so the kids are entertained on the road (with cables, chargers and adapters)
- Nikon D50 DSLR camera with charger and case
Have you got your own list? Feel free to share in the comments section.

In my last post, I discussed ProBlogger.net and Darren Rowse, who is a full time blogger. Turns out, he has partnered with another well known blogger, Andy Wibbels to develop and launch a course on blogging for “online riches”. Andy has worked with many small businesses to educate them about the powers of blogging for business owners. If you are serious about blogging, and would like to eventually blog full time, the course may be perfect for you. The course is called Six Figure Blogging. You can also check out Andy’s professional blog, where he shares his experience with small businesses and individuals looking to blog.

Web stats are simply a way to track who is visitng your site, and how they are finding it. Any web designer or internet marketer will tell you that keeping track of and analyzing your web stats is one of the best ways to adjust your site to make it better. For example, by analyzing your stats, you may find that a buried page is doing really well in the rankings, and receiving a lot of hits. You may want to tweak your site map or navigation on your website so that particular page is really easy to find. A few of the best (and free!) programs are google analytics, stat counter, and aw stats, and webalizer.
