When my parents and some aunts and uncles were alive, they did not have access to the technology that is available today. Medical Alert technology has become widely sought after by our increased aging population and I can see incredible value and the need for products in this niche.
Imagine – as a son or daughter, or grandchild – and someone older whom you love is having mobility problems because of sickness or age? You worry about them falling and how will they get to the phone, don’t you? You worry if you can’t get to them on time, who will?
They can’t get to a phone usually if they were to fall but with a Medical Alert system that offers Fall Detection, emergency personnel are alerted wherever they are at any given time. And I think that would be very comforting, indeed. And it’s technology like this that makes me excited because it helps people and could even save lives.
This is when technology is a good thing.
Of course, technology does come with a price, and I wish companies would understand that there are people who desperately need this service but not everyone can afford yet another monthly fee. Perhaps a lite version of the technology could be created to solve the problem?
Personally, if it was my loved one, I would be paying the monthly fee if I could, or split the cost with siblings just so our family could have peace of mind. However, I would like to see Medical Alert products created more affordably for everyone to use.
After all, everyone deserves to be protected and safe.

That’s it! I’m going on vacation at least twice in the next 12 months. South once, where it’s warm because from November to April…well it just plain sucks here in Southern Ontario. It’s damp and the cold gets inside of you.
Yeah…a vacation south definitely sometime between now and April is a goal I’m working towards. I have not had a real vacation in…too long!
So!
The second vacation will be in early summer…late June…and I’m going abroad to England. I have friends there whom I haven’t seen in over 30 years! They recently “found” me again. Ah, the powers of the internet! 
It is going to be a fun re-union, of that I’m quite sure!
I would like to take my son to England for a few days and then continue with a European tour, with a definite stop in Malta, where my parents came from. My son will be graduating from high school in the summer of 2010 so this would be a great time for us to bond before he goes off to do his thing…
so there you have it…my vacation goals…I’m motivated!
Do you have plans for a vacation? If so, to where?
PS: Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers! Hope your holidays are blessed

The reason WordPress has become so popular is that it is easy to build your own valuable web property using a self-hosted WordPress blog as your website engine. A web property – like any property – becomes valuable over time as you continue to build it and feed it quality original content and you drive traffic to it to give it maximum exposure.
It also helps if the web property is generating an income, and you will be happy to know that it doesn’t have to generate enormous sums for it to be considered valuable.
And if you can have one niche blog making some some sort of income then what is stopping you from having 10, 20, 30 or more of these little niche blogs all making you some money so that you have a nice little income stream from your niche empire – your web properties, your own personal goldmine.
You see, if you get to a point when maybe you lose interest in one niche blog, or one isn’t making you as much money as you thought it would for it to be worthwhile to you, well you now can turn around and flip those sites for hundreds of dolllars or more. Especially if you have done all the hard work for the potential buyer on your web property: the keyword reseach, the site design, the SEO, and a good amount of original content.
So that’s why I say if you’re someone like me, who loves to blog, then start building your web properties with WordPress. What do you think?

I have been busy these days doing what I like best and I am pleased to announce the launch of 2 new sites!
Update December 18, 2009: I have since dismantled manygraphics.com. I plan on selling this domain.
The second site I have launched is a fun niche site at ClassicRockLover.com, where I post my favorite classic rock videos along with a small commentary. I love classic rock! Comments are welcome!
As usual, I would love to hear from you if you have any comments or suggestions. Have a wonderful week!
