I had a need to transfer a bunch of cassette and vinyl records to digital tracks. A quick search found a cool little recording studio in Dallas called Orb Audio Recorder. I called the owner, Bobby Hoke, and got his pricing (very reasonable) and set a time to drop off my recordings. It took about a week (a few days faster than he estimated) and I couldn’t be happier! Great work, reasonable price and absolutely no problems. I would highly recommend Orb Audio Recorder to anyone.

Downsizing a company isn’t all about getting rid of employees.
October 11th, 2012Downsizing is a word that has been used frequently during this long recession. Typically you hear it in business but these days it’s not uncommon to hear it from ordinary families. When a company decides to downsize the first thing that most people probably think about is how many people will lose their jobs. But with every employee there is probably a desk, a chair, maybe even an office full of furniture. So what happens to the office furniture when the office is downsized?
Unless a company decides to store their unused furniture or move it to another office location for use there really the only viable option is to sell it. Now the chances they will sell it to the public is rare at best instead what a company normally does is engage with a reseller who deals in office furniture. These resellers try to get the biggest bang for the buck by offering pennies on the dollar and depending on how desperate the company is they may just get it. Once the sale is completed the reseller will clean, repair and restore the inventory and then offer it for resale. The easiest way for them to do so these days is online through various channels including Craigslist, their own website via advertising on search engines, directories and via lead generation websites. A majority of used office furniture dealers do most of their business online and that environment is changing daily with the increase in popularity of mobile and the melding of television and the internet.
To find a used furniture dealer is as simple as doing a Google search. In my case I would use the term used office furniture dallas to begin my search. From there I would want to find a website that shows what is available and when I can get it. I probably wouldn’t buy online as I would want to inspect the piece before I bought it but I expect that online buying is not far away for many of these dealers.
Make sure you check references, the Better Business Bureau and online reviews so you are comfortable dealing with them and double check their return policy as you never no what might happen.
While businesses continue to downsize and will do so even when the economy picks up, what may be unfortunate for the employees can many times be good fortune for those looking for a quality piece of used office furniture.
Cool Time In Paris
June 26th, 2012The lady and I took a trip to Paris and had the best time doing everything a tourist doesn’t do. I’m talking not staying at a name brand hotel or eating any meal at any restaurant you would find in a tourist guide, or seeing the same attractions you see on postcards. We made a conscious effort to avoid all things tourist.
First off we secured cheap first class airfare to Paris through a company called Imperial Travel Consultants. They did exactly what they said they would and found us tickets that saved us about 50% if we had bought them through a regular agency. During our research for the trip we came across a hotel (Novotel Paris Porte d’Orleans) that had gotten some very nice reviews and was not on the beaten path so we felt comfortable we would be tourist free during our stay there.
Once we had settled into the hotel we began searching for restaurants and found several that fit the bill. Autour d’un verre, Cafe des Musees and Breizh are just a couple of the places where we found a great meal and reasonable prices considering you are in Paris.
Finally, the not so typical tourist stops included The Marmottan Museum, Sainte Chapelle and The Statue of Liberty. Yes, most people forget there is a replica Statue of Liberty in Paris.
What a great time we had and would do it all again. I challenge you to go off the beaten path on your next vacation, you might just enjoy it.

First Class Travel
April 25th, 2012I love to travel but unfortunately I can’t afford to do much of it. So the thought of being able to travel first class is one that would never enter my mind. That is until now. I was recently turned on to a website that offers cheap first class travel to anyone! They can save a realistic 50% off the retail rate of first class airfare. Well I’ve got to be honest, when I first heard about it, I was more than a bit skeptical. If you can get these kind of savings how come everyone doesn’t travel first class? Simply put, this is one of those insider secrets. What this company does is look at a number of factors in your travel history. A few deal with the time of day, week of day and month you travel. Of course destination is another one and from what I can tell there are many more elements to determining how to save money on a first class ticket. The nice thing is I don’t have to figure it out, that is what this company does for a living.
So the next time I get a chance to fly away, believe me I will contact the first class travel guys and let them find me some cheap first class airline tickets. If you fly on the same flight with me, I’ll be the one with a drink in my hand, my sunglasses on and my feet up … in first class.
Termite Control Phoenix Arizona
November 21st, 2011My In-laws live in Phoenix and during our annual summer vacation to visit them we woke up one morning to the sight of some termites coming out of the wall in our room. My In-laws, despite living in the community for a few years, had no idea who to call so I immediately jumped online and search for Termite Control Phoenix. I came across Arizona Termite Control and gave them a call, they were very responsive and were able to come out the same day. They arrived on time and were very professional during the inspection process, being aware of our family taking up half the house and being courteous to everyone.
Once they finished the inspection, they put together a proposal to take care of the problem, they also gave us references and a company history highlighting their experience dealing with termites Phoenix and throughout Arizona. You see in Arizona termites cause no less damage to a home or building than anywhere else in the world and in fact a desert area can cause more termites than a non-desert area. Anyway, I digress, the folks at Arizona Termite Control presented a proposal to take care of my In-laws problem that was fair and more importantly to my In-laws timely as they wanted to have the issue taken care of immediately.
So to follow up, the In-laws are happy as can be. The termites are gone and they have been able to fix all of the structural issues that were caused by those pesky termites. If you are looking for termite control in Phoenix and throughout the state of Arizona look no further than Arizona Termite Control. I’ve posted their address and phone number below to make it easy to contact them.

Photo Booth Rentals Dallas
June 17th, 2011We were searching for a fun activity for our daughters wedding when someone suggested a photo booth. Now I haven’t thought of a photo booth since I was a kid and would see them in the mall or bowling alley someplace like that and those you put money in which didn’t sound too appealing. However I jumped online and did a search for photo booth dallas and found that the times have changed. There is a whole industry now serving weddings, company parties, birthday parties and basically any event you could imagine renting a photo booth for.
So the company we found Photo Booth Rentals DFW had a great website. Examples of their work, easy to understand rates and an easy way to contact them as well as learning they offer photo booth rentals in Dallas and throughout the North Texas region. We contacted them and arranged for a photo booth for our daughters wedding this summer.

Save Money on Your OEM Auto Parts
April 6th, 2011Times are tough and everyone is looking for a discount or break any where they can get it. What if you could get a break on the cost OEM car parts? Of course you would take it, I did and will do every time I need parts for my car.
After a recent visit to my mechanic he told me I needed a starter and an alternator for my Toyota Matrix and gave me a price of $450 for parts alone. I didn’t have the cash to do the work so I left it with him and went home to start calling junkyards. As you can imagine the thought of not only having to call several yards but then get a ride to one and pull the part myself was not very appealing. While I was lamenting my pain to a friend he suggested I try a website called BuyAutoParts.com. So I pointed my browser to their site and within minutes found both parts for my car at almost half the price and each came with free shipping. I immediately ordered them and called my mechanic to let him know when the parts would be in. They came in on time and my mechanic had my car up and running the same day. He was so impressed he said he would start using them for all of his OEM auto parts orders.
Save time, money and headache and use BuyAutoParts.com for your OEM auto parts.
