Our Favorite Note Taking Nerd has set himself a 90-Day-Challenge for self-improvement, the goal of which is to make him a better copywriter, lover, citizen, whatever.

Lewis LaLanne determined to exercise each day, study copywriting and marketing material, drinking lots of water and practicing his typing.

I’d exercised for the day, I’d studied some kind of marketing/copywriting material, I’d spent 30 minutes on Typing Master honing my typing skills, I’d downed 75 ounces of water… and then I forgot to do some release technique homework.

He’s gone through over half of his predetermined program.

Lewis will tell you all about it (beware, some of the language is adult and NSFW) at his terrific site MyNotetakingNerd.

He’s got a lot of valuable FREE material on his site and I strongly urge you to sign up for his mailing list if you are a serious marketer.

BarnaclePress is where I love to go and check out classic newspaper comic strips.

Their newest feature brings us a favorite from 1903 — William F. Marriner’s “fun-loving trio:” Tweedledum, Twedleedee and the Other Triplet.

This website is a treasure trove of great old comics, and I’m sure you will spend hours sifting through the riches, as I have.

Make BarnaclePress a regular stop on your daily web browsing.

Every generation has its own slang. And that slang sounds pretty weird to somebody who is from another generation.

I love collecting slang terms from bygone days.  And so I’m sure the term “geevum” was in wide-spread use when The Geevum Girls ran in daily newspapers.

Thanks again to BarnaclePress for bringing us such amazing novelties that have been almost forgotten by comical history.

If you’re having problems with you’re songs beginning to sound the same, I’ve found that working with a diverse producer helps a great deal. Maybe you should even think about the music you listen to. Try listening to different styles of music, I did a search and found unbelievable amounts of songs from all over the world and although i couldn’t understand the lyrical content due to the language barrier the melodic detail blew me away! Now I’ve been inspired in a totally different way

Always come morning 

The first time I ran into  Otto Soglow‘s character “The Little King,” I thought, “Hmmm — this is pretty weird.  But the more I read, the more enchanted I became.

This is a unique take on comic strips. The King never speaks a word, and manytimes, nobody else does either.  It’s like mime comics!

If you want to peek at the weird world of the Little King — just click on the link and jump to the Joyville tribute of this comic strip treasure.
