Greetings!

Welcome to this month's issue of The Internet Minute. Hard to believe that Labor Day is just around the corner (where did the summer go?).

In this month's issue, be sure to check out the video of my 83-year old grandpa playing on his "toy" (just for fun), check out the recap of Tungle.me from Free Webinar Wednesdays and visit our newest website, Michelle-en-Vogue.

I know you're busy, so it's designed to be a fast read... Enjoy!

-Eric

P.S. There's still time to support my fundraising effort and donate at PedalingWithaPurpose.org and help me fight childhood cancer!

What's an 83-Year Old Grandpa Do To Have Fun?
Announcing A New Fashion Site Fusing American & European Design...

I am excited to announce the recent launch of our newest site, the online fashion store for Michelle-en-Vogue. The site fuses American and European design in a clean and simple website, with unique fashion items added every day.

Visitors to Michelle-en-Vogue can browse by product category or designer as well as read the blog, updated by the founder, Sabine Zettl herself. As a former fashion buyer from Germany, Sabine has lined up a collection of designers that you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.

How Would You Like 5 Hours A Week Back?

During a recent Free Webinar Wednesdays session with Tungle.me's founder and CEO, Marc Gingras, we learned that on average it takes about 15 minutes to schedule a typical 30-minute meeting. That means if you schedule just four meetings per day, that's 5 hours a week you spend scheduling meetings!

With the Tungle.me service, you can cut this down to just a few minutes per meeting by leveraging the Internet to push your available times out to others that would like to meet with you! I don't know about you, but even a couple of hours a week would be a welcome addition to my life!

During the FWW session (archive available for replay), Marc and I talked about the Tungle.me service, which is an online scheduling and calendar sharing service. It works with all of the popular calendar programs (yes, even Outlook) and enables you to share your available time(s) for meetings and helps to avoid the all-to-frequent "game of tag" that goes along with trying to find a time that works from two or more busy people when trying to schedule a meeting.

The service is available at no cost (just register to get an account and you can use the service for free) and start using it to schedule your meetings today. In addition to some other recent FWW topics, Tungle.me is just one more way that you can regain some of your productivity and leverage technology to make the most of your time.

Ever Wonder What An 83-Year Old Man Does For Fun?

Recently, my wife and I spent some time at my grandparent's house up north before a recent triathlon in Ludington, MI. This was the last event before my big Childhood Cancer Fundraiser and we got to see my grandpa work his toy, affectionately known as the "Kitty Cat".

I wrote a quick blog entry that has a link to the full video and you can see for yourself just what keeps this grandpa feeling young (as well as some pictures from the triathlon). If watching the video makes you think of MadMax, you're not alone. Welcome to the Thunderdome, grandpa!

Grandpa and his Kitty Cat
Every 83-year old grandpa should have one of these.
Thanks for taking the time to read my newsletter. If you have suggestions for future issues or questions, don't hesitate to let me know. See you next month...

As a reminder, on September 12th I'll be racing a half-"iron distance" triathlon at Cedar Point and raising money to help fight childhood cancer. Donations can be made online, are tax-deductible and go to support the Children's Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation (CNCF).

Pedaling With A Purpose

If you can't donate at this time, please forward this to others that may be able to support my cause. Any help you can offer to promote my effort is greatly appreciated. Together we can make a difference...

And, if you do need help with your online efforts just give me a ring at (269) 841-5007 or via e-mail eric@poweredbywsi.com. I'm always happy to help!
