The Old Navy Store in Factoria is open today. Business must go on, especially this down economy.

I don't shop at Old Navy Store (I might be too mature for the brand) but the do anything to survive attitude of private businesses are great. Thanks for working on Thanksgiving day.

The State, County and City should thank Old Navy too. They are generating sales tax for the government on Thanksgiving day.

This is a typical Chinese take-out box, isn't it?
But I have never seen this box outside of the US.
As far as I know every Chinese restaurant uses this particulate box.

Who makes it?
Is it patented?

Anybody?

I purchased a son on iTune ... It did not download so I did it again. It worked second time. But next day, the original purchase was downloaded again. I end up getting a bill for the same twice.

I decide to contact Apple/iTune store to get a credit ... I called their support and they ask me to go a web site. http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/account/ I went there. I went under billing ... there is no place I can report my problem.

Yes, it is only $1.29 ... I know that. But I feel cheated. I have no place to go. I have to make sure our service (http://www.pspinc.com) does not give you a run around. Also, if we do, you know how to contact me.

11月

18日

I found a T-Shirt with our Web and Email hosting service promotion from 2009. Currently it costs $250 a year ... but for a short period of time 2 years ago, we put it on sale for $99.

Our service has evolved in last two years. And current hosting includes

(1) Free domain registration / or transfer
(2) 10GB Web Space
(3) 10 Email Accounts with 10GB Total Space (IMAP or POP)

Of cause we provide technical support at no charge. It is a good price at $250. But if you like to get $99 special, you need to contact me directly. (Not everyone gets their deal.)

Adding more storage space

We just placed almost $100K order to add storage space to our hosting environment. Thanks to all new customers, we are constantly upgrading our facility. And thanks to the technologies, we are able to do this without adding more racks. We can store much much more data in smaller space.

Kobe is the largest processing center for Japanese cultured pearls and my friend owns one of the processing and manufacturing pearl jewelry companies. He is asking me if there a market for high end Japanese cultured pearls in the US. He gave me a sample of his work as a gift (pictured).

I am looking for a marketing idea...
