Time For Some Mobile Blogging

My mobile blog fest begins tomorrow morning at 4:00 AM.

CA to WV And Back AgainThat’s when the entire Turner family, six kids and two parents, will head off on our annual road trip to West Virginia. I blogged all along the way last year on our CA TO WV… AND BACK AGAIN blog. This year I’m doing it again, only I’ll be using as many new technologies as I can to chronicle our journey.

The main tool this year? Utterz.

Most of the posts created on our famiy travel blog will be generated using Utterz. I’m confident I’ll be able to show a number of creative ways to use some of the technologies that have surfacec since our last trip a year ago. I’ll also be using Twitter, Brightkite, editable Google maps, and other mobile tools. in addition, depending on bandwidth, I’ll be using some live video streaming, Real Estate Shows (of course), and I’m even going to throw in some Eyejot This! action along the way.

This trip will certainly provide the breadth of creative opportunites required to show how versatile some of the latest, proven technologies can be. But what I’m really hoping is that it will serve to get your own creative juices flowing.

So, come join us… virtually. There may not be any more room in the truck, but there’s plenty of room on the ‘net. I think we’ll all have some fun and you may get a few new ideas along the way!

They have VC money.). If we miss each other there, give me a call or text me at 818.917.8418 and we’ll get together.

Blogger Meets Boss

Published by Sarah Cooper under Just For Fun

sarah cooper and jeff turnerThis weekend my family and I had a little adventure. We drove up to Blackwater Falls in Davis, West Virginia. The park and the falls were indeed gorgeous, and I felt some of my stress slide away while I soaked in the beauty. (Just “some” of my stress, because apparently I like to keep some.)

The falls and the views were worth our three hour car trip. But the real reason we were there was to meet Jeff Turner, his wife Rocky and their family.

Yes, I finally met my boss — what a strange world we have with the internet. I was as impressed as I expected to be. Jeff and his wife Rocky have six kids, and each and every one of them is incredible. Together they are one amazing family! I loved getting to meet Jeff and letting our families goof off together.

I’m proud to have my name associated with this company. The people that work for Real Estate Shows are hard workers, and they have a lot of joy in what they do. Working with these people is fun! They also have a lot of joy in their lives outside of work.

And just in case you’d like to unload a little of your stress too, I made you this Real Estate Show.
Watch and relax.

What’s Missing From Your Shows? Humor?

I spend far too much time on Active Rain, reading blogs and making friends … er, NETWORKING. There’s so much information just freely given among experts in all real estate fields — it’s a gold mine!

A couple of my favorite people there are Broker Bryant and his wife, TLW of Tutas Towne Realty. They have a wonderful Real Estate Show that acknowledges their adjusting market while remaining firmly upbeat and encouraging.

Now that is a funny Show! And what a great message — there IS hope, call Broker Bryant!! Wouldn’t you like to spread a similar message in your area?

We’ve all had ups and downs lately, it’s best to have a sense of humor about it all. It’s even better to share that sense humor with our clients. They know what the market’s like, they’re in it. They may be feeling frustrated themselves. Humor is a great tension breaker!

Use your Shows creatively, give them a good laugh and get to work!

The Music Of Matt Bless: Member Originals

Published by Jeff Turner under Just For Fun

Matt Bless made our day today.

matt bless reflectionSome of our clients are not just real estate agents and brokers, they are also musicians. Some of them are excellent musicians. And sometimes they like to share. It doesn’t happen as often as we’d like, but when it does, it really makes us smile. Matt leads The Matt Bless Trio and gave us permission to include in our library a 30 and 60 second version of his trio performing “Little Sunflower” by Freddie Hubbard.

“I’ve always liked the harmonies, the switch back and forth between minor and major scales, and the Latin feel,” Matt said. “Since I play piano primarily for my own enjoyment, it’s nice to have a forum for getting my music out there, even if it’s mostly anonymous.”

Matt obviously hasn’t see his name next to the new “Sunflower” addition to our Member Originals section of the music library. :) He’s not so anonymous anymore either. Here is the 60 second version of his fabulous submission.

Matt, thank you for sharing your creativity and your love for music with all of our members! Be sure to check out Matt’s other songs at www.MattBlessTrio.com.
