I haven’t posted a blog post in a little bit because I’ve been working on several new websites, including our own. We’ve just put the finishing touches on it and you can now view the new home of InspireMedia at http://www.ImInspired.net.

It’s a bold, yet simple design with a sprinkling of Ajax controls and highlights the services you’ve come to expect from InspireMedia and some you didn’t know we offered. So take a peek at the new InspireMedia!

More frequently, businesses are using Google as their main source of information. From potential clients to competition, the search for data is heating up and getting personal.

For some businesses, they are using it to find detailed information about you during the interview process. Information available from such sources as blogs to MySpace and Facebook. This new trend is catching online users off guard because of the potential of losing a job based on what’s contained on their blog or what friends they have on Myspace.

In fact, it’s now getting to baby names where parents will give their child a name that can’t be found in Google; making the assertion that you’re nobody unless you can be found on Google.

I have a client that is taking a personal role in the fight against cancer. Tammie Baker of Tyler Mason is taking part in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. Many know that I used to take part in this event several years ago.

Relay for life is a non-stop 24 hour walk that helps raise funds for and awareness of Cancer. The highlight of the event comes in the middle of the night when the walk is lit up with hundreds of luminaries spelling out the word HOPE. This is a great cause and a wonderful chance to do your part to help end cancer for good.

For those of you who would like to help out, you can donate online now for Tammie, you can do so by clicking the link here.

A judge has banned Scott Wiese from changing his name to Peyton Manning. A few days before the Super Bowl, Scott announced that if his Chicago Bears lost the game, he would change his name to Peyton Manning. As his luck would have it, he lost that bet and went before a judge to change his name.

The judge disagreed with his motive and made Scott happy by denying his request. Which once again proves that friends should not let friends drink and make bets on the Super Bowl.

Okay, I am the procrastinator. Earlier this month, Erin and I visited a close friend’s wedding here in Indy. Erin brought her camera along and got a few shots (we tried to stay out of the photographers way). Here’s a link to Erin’s post on her blog:

So, here’s my official congratulations to Katie and Tom!

Some of you know what happened to Kara’s Dad last month. For those of you who don’t, he was involved in a major car carsh and has had a difficult recovery. They’ve been waiting on pins and needles waiting for improvements and today they got the one they were waiting for. He woke up! It was a tearful day today for the entire family, as he began making theis significant leap.

I can’t give you all the details to keep the information private with Kara’s family, but keep the prayers up, they really do work.
