Is An Autopen Kinda Like Docusign?
It sounds like President Obama used something like Docusign to sign the Patriot Act extensions.
Three Minutes on Charlottesville’s Rivanna Trail
One day I’ll hike the full 19.9 miles; until then, I’ll live vicariously through Tom Daly’s “Rivanna Trail in 3 Minutes” in which he “took a photograph approximately every 3 minutes along the hike. Here is the entire trail, boiled down to 3 minutes.
Learn more about the Rivanna Trail. Continue reading
Charlottesville Real Estate Conversation – May 2011
Big thanks to Rick and WNRN radio for hosting us again on Sunday to talk about real estate … an hour is never enough.
We covered a lot, so much so that I’m going to break this post up into three posts – one this morning, one this afternoon and one on Thursday.
First, two thoughts. One from Seth Godin that applies to his world – marketing (broadly) – as much as it does mine (and ours) – real estate (bolding mine) :
Thank you – Memorial Day 2011
Thank you.
Thank you to all those who have served and died for our freedoms. May we recognize, remember and never forget what you fought and died for and may we never forget your and your families’ sacrifices.
Please take the time to educate yourself about the true meaning of Memorial Day.
“The VFW stated in a 2002 Memorial Day Address:
Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed a lot to the general public’s nonchalant observance of Memorial Day.[8]“
Tune Into WNRN This Sunday – 29 May 2011
Who can resist listening to an hour-long conversation about the Charlottesville real estate market? (besides my wife) Once again, Matt Hodges I and will be talking with Rick Moore on Sunday’s show at 11am.
What questions do you have? What would you like for us to discuss?
What is “Charlottesville”? (via the ears of The Corner)
“We love the community, we love the University and we just love being here.”
When I’m in the mood to listen to music, I tend to be listening to the Corner. Why?
Note: Listen to their commercial here. With the blog redesign, I’m having some issues with playing mp3 files
1 – They play good music. Consistently.
2 – Listen to Kathy’s reasons for moving to Charlottesville; her reasons echo the reasons many of my buyer clients either move here in the first place or choose to stay in Charlottesville. With all of our problems, Cville is still a great place to live.
3 – They understand what Charlottesville is about and demonstrate that they get Cville.
4 – They’re not a homogenous station.
6 – As Charlottesville increasingly becomes homogenized – tell me what is “Charlottesville” about the Hollymead Town Center, which could be Anytown USA – it’s nice to have a local radio station that both understands and values the importance of the Charlottesville culture and its uniquenesses and idiosyncrasies.
