eCommerce 1.5
So we’re getting there, the MacOS account is created and I’m pretty much there on the setup. The website is bookmarked, as is the control panel, the ETSY store (more of this later), ETSY itself (as a reference) and all other handy bookmarks, the Canva account is logged into ready to create banners etc. I use Canva as its quick and easy, I have several editing Apps and can create banners, icons etc myself but as we have a Canva Pro account, that is my friends and family that we all share in a team for one subscription its worth the cost for the ease of use and speed I…

Tech 1.1
The upshot is I still have short term memory issues, some things stick, but there is a lot that doesn’t such as names, dates to state a few. I also find it hard to work out my calendar, to remember when I’m busy or have commitments and therefore not double book myself. I also don’t like it when I have more than 4 or 5 outstanding issues or appointments. Up to this amount I’m ok, sometimes even about 5 items, as long as I know what order they are in and have them ‘sorted’ in my head. If not then I get anxious and start to get edgy or sometimes…

Spooky 1.1
So I had a plan and a design I drew up, I had some complimentary products designed and was all keen to get into production, but one problem, I’m no 3D designer and it was proving difficult to put these plans into action without being able to create my ‘master mould’ from which I could cast my product.

I had the idea to now only create my product, which was going to be cast from recycled aluminium from several cast off computer heat sinks and…

Ok so this now brings me to a ‘secret project’, something that will be revealed when I am ready to and I’ve got all the relevant parts in place. I don’t want to reveal just yet as I don’t want anyone to steal the idea and beat me to market, I also want to retain some secrecy until I’ve got any copyrights and trademarks in place and also the domain registered. I’m hoping this one will take off so I’ve got to, for now, preserve the idea This brings me to another important note. Copyright, Trademarks and IP (Intellectual Property), as you may be aware there are laws that can…

Tech 1.0
Another thing to note is just how much help and assistance you can get from your tech and gadgets these days. I use an Apple Mac, an iPhone and an iPad mini, which coincidentally is what I am typing this out on now. All these devices are linked to the iCloud so I can sync these ideas to each device and not lose any. The iPad is my pencil and paper, where ideas, thoughts and doodles take place, it’s handy, not too big and not too intrusive in a social situation. The iPhone is my Swiss Army knife, I take it everywhere, I can snap photos, take notes and then…
