Our company is getting new e learning development tools this month. It’s going to be awesome. Finally we get to have a great solution to the budget crisis that we have been facing for a long time now.
I think the company’s problem started way back when one of the vice presidents had a big issue. It was a really interesting story too. It seems that the guy had been black mailed by a former employee. Now that the news is out, I remember certain details regarding how it happened. I was actually a witness to the whole thing. But of course I did not have any idea of what was happening at the time. I only saw Mc Kinsey going into the VP of Sales office. Then I heard something break since I was right outside the door. When Mc Kinsey came out, he had a black eye and what looked like pieces of broken glass embedded on his face. But what was weird was that he had a smile on his face. Later we found out that there Mc Kinsey beat himself up inside the VP’s office and blackmailed the VP saying that people will not believe that he beat himself up and that he would sue the VP for assault and battery. It was a scene right out of fight club. I couldn’t believe that he pulled it off.
So that’s how the company’s funds for employee training and development got drained. Kinsey got paid so that he would not sue. And in the end, the company suffered losses. Thankfully, we found the solution. E learning development tools were not only inexpensive, they were also very effective. Now, we could even train employees from home since elearning development tools could be accessed through the net. Nothing beats that!
My Stay at Fairmont Royal Pavilion: A Barbados Travel Hotel Review February 18, 2010

I am very grateful to all positive forces that have blessed me with the opportunity to travel to beautiful places like the Caribbean. I am overwhelmed by my blessedness that I decided to share my experiences with other people so that the world can know of the different beautiful places in the world. Also, I aim to help other travelers like myself to make good choices when it comes to accommodations because it is a vital aspect of a journey.
It was my first time to check in at the highly recommended Fairmont Royal Pavilion, a luxurious Barbados travel hotel. At first glance, I immediately deduced that it deserves all the great commendations it gets simply because of its aesthetics—it was utterly breath taking. I am very pleased with my choice of staying there.
Upon my descent to their lobby, I was greeted by the most amiable staff possible. They surely made the effort to get to know me as they went out of their way to have friendly chat with me, always trying to find out if I needed anything or if my stay so far met my expectations.
My favorite part was my room—it was gorgeous! If I remember correctly, there were 72 rooms in all. But I must say that my suite was incredibly beautiful and pleasantly spacious. I had no trouble settling in because it was so comfortable despite the awe striking elegance. I was lucky enough to get a room with a stunning view of the beach front. I spent about ten minutes just standing by the window taking everything in.
Since the sea constantly beckoned to me, I felt like I had no choice but to indulge myself with a visit down to it. When I got to the beach, I couldn’t stop smiling. The sea was perfectly blue! There was even a pontoon that can swim dive off from. The loungers were nice enough, and the pool was fairly sized but admittedly a bit dated.
I also noticed that the hotel offers water sports to its customers for free! It eliminates the hassle of going to vendors out on the beach selling questionable tube rides and such.
All in all, I can say that my stay at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion Barbados travel hotel was very good. I totally recommend to everyone who intends to vacation in sunny Barbados!
Of Scams and Free Insurance February 15, 2010

Free insurance quotes are found in the internet. But when I myself looked for a free insurance quote site, I snagged into some problems. The problem was that there were so many sites in the net that purported to give me the same services. How was I supposed to choose among all these sites? I did not know who to trust.
My mistrust of the internet has deep roots. I am seventy years old. Most people my age are not well versed on computer technology. But of course, since I was the type of guy that always wanted to be in sync with the current times and the current trends I immediately set my self up against the task of being a completely computer literate person. One of the first things I learned how to use was my email. I was so excited at getting an email of my own. Then I got some emails from some people I didn’t know.

One of them was from a friend of mine who was asking me to give him some money because he was stuck out of town. The email said that my friend went to Germany. But now he needed some money because he got robbed. I immediately wired some money. Little did I know that this was a scam. It turns out that my friend’s email address was hacked. That was the lesson I got from the internet. It is full of scammers. This is why I am hesitant at signing up for any of these sites that get me a free insurance quote for my car insurance.
What I did was do a little bit more online research. Forums are a good place to find tips and referrals. That’s how I found a good site that offered legitimate free insurance quote services.
Weird Experience in a Barbados Travel Hotel February 12, 2010

Last year’s spring break is probably one of the most awesome spring breaks in my life. Overflowing booze, beautiful people, great Barbados hotel travel. It was really a dream. The fact that something strange happened at the hotel made the trip even more memorable.
So what happened? Read on.
When you are at Barbados, it would be stupid not to drink all the alcohol your body can consume. It is even more stupid not to dance the night away in one of the many beach parties organized by Barbados travel hotels. Since we are normal college students out to look for some fun under that hot sun of Barbados island, we partied like there’s no tomorrow and spent each day and night drinking whatever our bodies can take. It seemed like the life we have always wanted until we lost our friend, Sam. At first we thought that he was just out partying alone but he did not show up at the day of our departure from the island. Naturally, we did everything to locate the person we happened to lose.
We reported the incident to the local police department of the island. With no phone, not even a pager with him, Sam was totally unreachable. We went to every bar to look for him, but no Sam was in sight. The incident drained all the fun we had during our stay at Barbados. It was so stressful.
After half a day of searching for missing Sam, he finally turned up. Of course, we were happy that he’s still alive and right there standing incredulously in front of us. Turned out he hooked up with this rich Barbados beauty he met at the party and stayed at her place which is 2-hour drive away from our Barbados travel hotel. We were about to clobber him with whatever furniture we could get our hands on because of the mess he left for us to clean. Good thing, he introduced us to the girl he was with in those two frigging days he was missing. Man, the girl looked like Rihanna without the mullet hair and the crazy outfit, so in a way, we understood why he would sacrifice friendship over some girl he met at the party.
Imagine That, There’s California Car Insurance for Non-owners February 5, 2010

It seems that people think of and have answers for everything, nowadays. Like how to make things easier, faster, stronger, safer—everything! All these new gadgets, architectural and engineering marvels, innovations, laws and products amaze me beyond comprehension. You see, I’m not the kind of person who would sit down and think of ways to change the world and help people. I guess I’m kind of nonchalant and maybe a little selfish like that.

What brought this blathering about is because I recently found out that there’s California car insurance for non owners. How amazing is that? And the thing is, according to my cousin (who was, likewise, amazed by my ignorance), it’s not really anything new. You’re probably thinking that I’m retarded, or something, for getting all worked up and excited over a trivial matter such as non owners car insurance, but come on! Isn’t it just the cleverest thing?
Every responsible driver and car owner knows that it is truly important to get the best possible coverage for your car insurance because of all the benefits a person can reap from it. Basically, it’s due to the fact that a car has the potential to be a death machine—a monster of destruction. It can kill people and destroy property and valuables. It’s dangerous enough to own a drive one, but what about the people who have to drive the car of others?
The beauty of California car insurance for non owners is that it allows people to drive practically any car without having to worry about its insurance status. Let’s face it. There certainly are times when you wouldn’t have any other choice but drive someone else’s car. I mean, yeah, it doesn’t offer the same comprehensive coverage a regular insurance would have, but it has sufficient coverage that can provide basic protection in case of untoward car accidents. Non owners’ car insurance policies normally would include liability, medical coverage, PIP, uninsured or underinsured motorist.
I am very happy that there are people out there who have the ability to create and are able to come up with these simple yet revolutionary concepts. Although it is kind of embarrassing to be ‘ignorant’ of these everyday, normal things, I think it’s kind of an advantage because this way, I am able to appreciate the genius and beauty behind them.
Of Course You Can Afford to Stay in a Barbados Travel Hotel! February 5, 2010

A lot of normal (or middle class, take your pick) people think that dream vacations in a tropical paradise are practically impossible because they cost too much—so much in fact that they’d jokingly (or seriously) consider robbing a bank. If ever they would try to make such a dream happen, they believe that it would require years of cost-cutting for them to come up with a sum that’s substantial enough to at least enjoy a day in the Caribbean, let alone a comfortable Barbados Travel Hotel.
They are wrong. Of course you can afford to vacation there! What these people don’t realize is that all it takes to have an awesome time in Barbados or any other place in the Caribbean is to do a bit of planning, and a whole lot of creative thinking to make such a ‘far-fetched’ dream a reality. Yes, it is true that it would require a certain saving strategy. But what everyone must consider is that these savings should be maximized by being one step ahead and flexible.
To kick off the master plan, you should first look at the major money drainers: airfare and hotel expenses. Barbados is definitely not a cheap place to visit, but it can be made a lot cheaper. The trick is to research on accommodation deals that are all-inclusive, and book Barbados Travel Hotels and plane tickets early. The internet has tons of sources for these kinds of deals.
Next, remember to stay flexible especially with your time and schedule. This is because the most affordable deals are offered during the off-season, or on certain days of the week. However, it is understandable that going to the beach is most enjoyable during the peak season, but do not fret. The trick is making reservations well in advance on days when tourists do not normally fly or check in like Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Another way to enjoy a cheap vacation in Barbados is to refrain from indulging too much on food during the vacation itself—that is to not constantly eat out at restaurants and the like. Check in a hotel that offers rooms with kitchens so you can cook food for yourself. There would be a time that you’d be too lazy to do that, but hey! You can eat out, but at places that are popular with the locals like eateries! They are considerably less expensive.
Be a smart, discerning consumer. In order to continue to enjoy the material things in this increasingly expensive society, craftiness and creativity goes a long way.
It’s Time to Hack—for Elearning’s sake February 4, 2010

So your computer at work sucks, too? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
It’s so frustrating that the people jostling about on the higher level of the ladder expect you to come up with fabulous output in thirty minutes when it takes roughly five minutes to load a stupid platform on the browser. What’s even more irksome is that they expect us to embrace elearning at work, receive training and professionally improve ourselves when the screen freezes as the antivirus program starts running. They probably don’t comprehend the gravity of having to work with a machine that has a memory capacity of an infant and the speed of a debilitated, elderly man. I mean my OS is Windows ME—ME, for goodness’ sake!
I mean, my twelve year-old sister can probably obtain information faster than I can if were to hold a little contest—she at home, me at work. I bet you a thousand dollars that she can get it done more efficiently, reference more professionals, and get guidance from better sources than I can ever hope to gather and accomplish. I’d probably fare better against my sister if I were to use my BlackBerry. It’s that bad.
The tools we use for our everyday lives have zipped past the ones people use at work. I don’t know why, but it looks like businesses are stupidly hanging onto process, bureaucracy and legacy technology, when they should be trying to sync with today’s society.
They leave working class people like us with no choice, sometimes. We’ve got to take matters into our hands. We should just hack the damn computers at work to suit our needs and working pace. If we want more effective elearning, then we need better software, applications, you name it. I bet you your manager and fellow workers will embrace your initiative, look the other way, if not, and follow your stead.
However, it’s important not to abuse this “hacking movement”. Avoid using social media at work (that means Facebook and Twitter). After all, the administrative office can get a hold of a web usage report every month and find out what you’re doing in your cubicle when you’re supposed to be working for efficiency, progress and what not. Don’t embarrass yourself.

Before Partner Relationship Management Software February 4, 2010

What did companies and organizations do before the creation of partnership management software tools? In the past companies were a lot more complacent when it came to their partnership management. Of course, there were already several strategies and methods in place back in the day. But these were crude. The crudeness is understandably so. Back in the day, the global market is not as fully integrated as it is today. Companies are more for expansion than for partnership.
What where the tools that were used for partner relationship management in the past? Companies used to rely on basic methods for their PRM. They also formulated these processes on their own. It is basically a hit and miss, trial and error activity for getting to the right process of PRM. The tools that were used were pretty basic. Basic spreadsheets for keeping track of everything were employed. Communication was mostly done by phone if not through email. These were crude times. However, as times changed, so did PRM. The advent of the internet created e-commerce. And this eventually lead to the sophisticated Partner Relationship Management software systems that we know of today.
One can find a hard time imagining those days when PRM software was so crude. That is because back then, the internet was not fully integrated to business. But now, it is indispensable. Partner Relationship Management Software is a key factor to the running of large channel clouds.
As time goes by, a business, especially those in manufacturing electronics, will inevitably grow its partner lists. As partner channels become more complex, it is harder to keep track of all the data of shipments, marketing, sales, etc. The necessity for streamlining of Partner Relationship Management was the mother of PRM software invention. And in this increasingly integrated business environment, it is indispensable.
