Free Blackberry Gym APPOK folks here is a hot one!
For those who don’t know I am a blackberry fanatic, and as such I blog mostly from my blackberry smartphone. I also love the gym hence the creation of this blog.
And now I found the app to merge both.
Gym Technik
This app
guides you through your workouts. Set up your workout exactly the way you are used to. Its like having a personal trainer everywhere you go.

So I’ve had a few questions on this and figured I’d make a quick blog post about it.
Webinars do you really need them?
Survey says Yes.
Webinars for the uninitiated are basically live or prerecorded broadcasts (though generally speaking and for the purposes of this post live) that aim to teach something, conduct an open forum, recruit people or sell product. Many people love this tool simply because it creates the image of greater value instantaneously.
Now I’m not arguing that they aren’t more valuable, just the opposite. However we must make note of all pertinent factors and qualities. People generally feel more tied into a webinar then a three way call. They also like the live action feel and flow of a live webinar compared to a list of Youtube videos you shoot them in a email. Those work too but it isn’t quite the same.
Every webinar I’ve been on feels different. The ability to ask questions on the spot is one way I’ve always felt more connected to the webinar leader. And hence I was more connected and thus more inclined to buy or join- get the drift?
A good webinar can even be as simple as a slide show with your face in the left hand corner as you teach or “drop science.”. Intelligence can even be perused in a different fashion as the audience can better gauge who you are as a person. This appearance of intimacy that forges bonds is quite bankable. And I don’t mean to sound callous or ambivalent, rather I want people to know how useful this tool is. I’m not attempting to imply a contrived feeling will occur but it is possible.
If I’ve confused you let me say this-
People prefer webinars statistically.
And as times change so must our strategies. 3 way calls work. No question. But in the day and age of the internet it is time we adjust methods and recalculate our approach. Twitter and Facebook and now Pinterest have all show that a new dynamic in marketing and recruiting has taken our planet by storm. Plain old sharing has become a multi-billion dollar business.
Don’t you want a piece of all of that?
If you could easily reach fans, recruits, teammates and so on wouldn’t you want to?
And speaking of teammates isn’t it hard to build and network properly across your city let alone across the globe?
I know I have a hard time with it and I’m sure you do as well. The phone just doesn’t cut all the time and plain old web chat limits your audience to two cameras and who ever can huddle around them.
A great webinar need not belong. In the beginning aim for a 30 minute webinar with a 30 minute Q&A after. Let people speak so it takes the pressure off you and let’s you gauge their response toward you and what you have offered. And don’t forget to invite them to your next webinar and or event (and of curse get names and numbers if you don’t have them- though they have to login for some webinar services so you may be privy to this data already).

“Not much to say really other than this is a great calibration app on offer from THX.
Used it briefly to set up the projector at work. I think this will be great for home use.
Description from the iTunes page:
THX tune-up (TM) allows you to properly adjust your TV, projector and speakers, helping you get the most out of your entertainment system.”
If you know me then you know that I am all about education and self improvement. Every year companies donate millions of dollars to scholarship funds for African American students and every year
millions of dollars are returned because of the lack of interest.
I am going to pass on information to you for your children, the
information I pass on will be the same information I am looking into
for my own daughter. Show some interest in your children future
because if you don’t then the streets and police will!

In this day and age we count on our mobile phones to stay connected with friends and family. But their cost in both time and money can be high.
I’ve got a secret stash of info and shortcuts to optimize your usage and save you time and money.
Send texts via e-mail
Does your phone not support multimedia messaging? Maybe you nearing your monthly text-messaging limit? Simply send your photo or text message via e-mail.
Just open a new e-mail message. In the To: field, enter the 10-digit telephone number (without dashes). Then enter the appropriate domain name for the recipient’s carrier.
AT&T: @txt.att.net
Sprint: @messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile: @tmomail.net
Verizon: @vtext.com
Standard charges apply for the recipient. If you’re e-mailing from a cellphone, you’ll pay for data usage.
Block messages
Perhaps you don’t like text messaging. So why pay to receive unwanted texts? You can either block texts or set up filters.
AT&T users must register for Message Preferences at mymessages.wireless.att.com. Sign in and you’re given options to block specific types of messages. You can also allow and block messages from specific numbers.
Sprint lets you block messages from specific numbers. Log in to your account online. Click My Sprint, then My Online Tools. Under Communication Tools, select Block Text Messages.
Some plans may not provide this option. Or, you may want to block all billable messages. In that case, call *2 for customer service.
T-Mobile lets you block messages based on type. Log in to your account online and click My Account, then Change services. Select the blocking features you would like. Click Change Services.
For Verizon, log in to your online account. Select Preferences and choose Text Blocking. Block specific addresses or types of messages.
Skip the formalities
Hate listening to your friend’s obnoxious voice mail greeting? Then skip it. When the greeting starts, enter the appropriate code for the recipient’s carrier.
AT&T: #
Sprint: 1
T-Mobile: #
Verizon: *
Check your account
Don’t know if you used your monthly minutes? Unsure how many text messages you have left? A quick call will tell you. Just use these shortcuts.
AT&T
*MIN# (*646#) for minutes used
*DATA# (*3282#) for text usage
*BAL# (*225#) for account balance
*PAY (*729) to make a payment

Navigate your voice mail

Text a landline
Both Sprint and Verizon provide text-to-landline services. Your text message is converted to a voice message and delivered. Simply enter the landline number as you would a mobile number.
Sprint provides this service at no charge; the message counts the same as any other. Verizon however charges 25 cents per message. There is no charge to message recipients.
