Some of you might have been fans of The Hollywood Car show, long since on hiatus. Well, after months of planning, Tim and I are back to our old shenanigans in a new home; The Hollywood Garage! Episode 2 is below and we think it’s pretty cool. Check it out!
We’re back again! Talking about cool stuff from Hollywood as we like to do like X-Men First Class as seen above, Logan’s Run, Die Hard 5 and a bunch of other movies that we picked from Tim’s blog!
Also, our first interview this week with the world famous Uncle Joe Benson! He has been in and around the music industry for years and you probably know him best from KLOS. Or, maybe from auto racing!. Yes, he has a team of cars, among other things, that you can see over at unclejoebenson.com.
Stick around! Next week we will have a new feature that we are sure you will love and the following week we’ll have Dave Kunz from ABCTV in LA on to talk about the cars he likes!

One thing that I have talked about here, at length, is fixing things. Fixing things after someone else had already did something, but they did it the wrong way. This not only wastes time, but money as well since you normally have to pay for the corrections on whatever was done incorrectly.
Since you aren’t going to check with me first before starting a project, here is a handy check list of items that you might find useful.
If you answered yes or no to any of the above questions, congratulations. Here is the answer key.
Everything that you do requires some kind of plan. Some kind of thought process. Some kind of thinking ahead to how this is going to affect everything that you do tomorrow, next week, next month and, possibly, next year. Just jumping into a project because you heard about something on Good Morning America is a very bad way of doing something.
Always start by checking with your network. Post a question to Twitter or Facebook. Reach out to your employees and vendors. Check with your kids. There is more value there than you know, and more knowledge too.
More and more I’m seeing things happen that would have been ok back in 2007. That was 4 years ago. Time to move fully into the 21st century gang and do things they way should be done, the way should work, and, most importantly, the way they should work for you.
This past weekend I had the chance to attend my first WordCamp; Phoenix WordCamp. For those of you that are unfamiliar with WordCamp, it is.
WordCamp is a conference that focuses on everything WordPress. WordCamps are informal, community-organized events that are put together by WordPress users like you. Everyone from casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other. WordCamps are open to WordPress.com and WordPress.org users alike.

Friday started off with another first; my first #evfn (East Valley Friday Night). It’s a group of Internet folks that get together IRL to hang out at local pubs, have a few cold ones and catch up. This past Friday was held at the Whole Foods Market across the street from my house, so it was easy.
I met a bunch of these people at Podcamp last year, and it was neat to see familiar faces. Also nice was having a Dogfish Head World Wide Stout, on draught no less. Should you ever get the chance, I highly recommend it.
For WordCamp, few of the sessions actually interested me and the ones that did happened in the afternoon, so I decided to work the genius bar in the morning. I was disappointed that not many people took advantage of the 10 of us that were doing this. I was able to help one guy who was trying to do 47 things at once, which was nice.
The sessions that I did sit in on were ok. One on CSS3, which I thought was a little weak, and one on Child theming, which is something I’ve been looking at lately for regular blog users. It was a great presentation and I walked away with more than a few tips.
That night was the afterparty. I was completely blown away at how that was pulled off. Sure it was a total nerdfest, but it was a very well catered nerdfest with an open bar, bbq and a rotating selection of DJs. I made a few new connections too, which is always nice.
WordCamp. If you are interested in WordPress, watch for the next one to happen near you. I highly recommend it!
