So how many of you get sick of not being able to talk to an actual person when you call your favorite company over the phone?  One of my biggest pet peeves is when I go to call a company about a product or service and I have to listen to stupid automated menus  and go through numerous unnecessary steps in order to accomplish a task or actually get to talk to someone.  Oh and lets not forget my favorite part about calling.  Its when after sitting on the phone for several minutes waiting or navigating their impossible menus you’re then just disconnected for no apparent reason.

Well I came across this site the other day and I wanted to share it with you.  The Get Human 500 database provides instructions on how to actually talk to a human at some of our favorite companies when you call.  Anyways hopefully you’ll enjoy this and maybe it will save you some time the next time you have to make a call!

I don’t know if anyone remembers or not, but way back in 2001 before the release of Office XP there were some videos that detailed the demise of the infamous paper clip we all loved so much. I forgot how entertaining these videos were until I found them on YouTube earlier. I posted one of my favorite ones below and there are a few more out on YouTube as well. Maybe you enjoy this one as much as I do, its pretty good stuff.

Alright, well this new design has taken me much longer than I expected it to but its finally up.  I guess thats what happens when you are trying to redesign your site on top of working, buying your first home, and your wife studying for a major board exam.  The site is completely done for the most part, but I still have a few little small things that I’m planning on doing to tweak it over the next few days.

As you know I’ve always used Cutline  up to this point when designing my blogs, but this time I chose to go ahead and customize the new Copyblogger theme that was recently released.  Overall I’m pretty pleased with the way the site turned out and I think it looks much nicer and cleaner than my previous design.  Now that I’ve got the new design out of the way, I plan to concentrate more on doing some quality blogging here and some other projects I’ve got going to try and bring in some revenue.

Anyway I’d really like to know what you think of the new design here, so leave me a comment with your honest opinion.  I really don’t care if you want to trash my new design or anything, but just be sure to put the address of your site so I can check it out.  Its amazing some of the people that will take shots at your hard work, yet they have nothing quality to show for themselves.
