Google Does FREE 411
2007-12-05 01:35:00 Why pay a $1.25 to $1.75 for directory assistant on your cell phone?! Personally, I think it is a rip off. It is just another way for Corporate America to charge the little guy.

Do You Need A Mobile Notary?
2007-12-04 06:13:00 When people think of a Notary Public they don't necessarily think mobile. A regular notary public works from an office that you travel to in order to have your document notarized. Usually, they work out of mail box stores, copy centers, banks and travel agencies.A Mobile Notary Public travels to you. Our motto is have stamp, will travel! The mobile option is for those that want the convenience of someone coming to them. Our lives are so busy these days it's nice to have someone come to you. The traveling notary is also good for those that are home bound, in a nursing home, or hospitalized and it is impossible for the individual to leave to have a document notarized.There is an extra charge for the mobile notary services but it is hard to put a price on convenience. Each notary sets their own travel fee, which may include such variables as distance, weekday vs. weekend, if it's a holiday, and the time of day (whether you're needed early in the day or late in the evening). (Note: ...
Updated California Acknowledgment & Jurat
2007-12-04 03:56:00 As my previous post (2008 California Notary Law Changes) noted, there have been several changes in notarial law that affect notaries starting in January 2008. One noted change is that notaries are no longer able to use personal knowledge as a method to verify the identity of a signer. New California Acknowledgment and California Jura t forms are now available for download from NotaryClasses.com.*Bonus - you can also download a 2008 Recession Calendar.
Blog Tip - Use Images to Enhance your Blog
2007-12-04 00:05:00 An easy way to jazz up your blog and to catch your reader's attention is to insert a couple of graphics. The old saying that "a picture is worth a thousand words" holds true in the world of blogging too.What helped make the concept sing for me was to think of each individual blog as a magazine layout. Articles that use pictures to help tell the story are more appealing to the eye, this is especially true since most computer uses scan versus read word for word so you will want to make the scanning process easy as possible.While using images can be easy and incredibly fun, you never want to forget that most images on the web are copyrighted, so you will either need to get permission to use an image, make your digital camera your best friend by taking your own pictures or use graphics that are open for public use.Also, do not forget the importance of underlines, italics, bold, and color. These are simple formatting options that draw your reader in and make your blog enjoyable and simp... More About: Images , Blog , Ages

Logically, I know that getting up at 3 a.m. to find great shopping deals is absolutely insane but Black Friday , the day after Thanksgiving that starts the winter shopping season, is too much fun.

I hope to see you out and about. I'll be sure to post some pictures of my Black Friday shopping experience.To find the best Black Friday deals check out Brad's Deals & Black Friday.

Mobile Notart Review - Half Asleep.com
2007-11-13 23:18:00 Thanks to a blog by Mel I came across this cool website - Half -Asleep.com, which has a cool Winnie the Pooh theme. Overall it's a cute fun site with recipes, a guest book, and a 100 Acre Personality Quiz.Based on your answers you are assigned a Winnie the Pooh character. I got Rabbit because it says that I am rather bossy but my friends and family love me anyway. For a simple 12 answer quiz it is pretty darn accurate!Take the 100 Acre Personality Quiz!What I don't understand is why the web designer, Stephanie, has a fun, child-like site connected to her adult, PG-13 site. It would make more sense if these two sites were separate, as one has nothing to do with the other.Besides that misstep, Half Asleep.com is a cute site with personality. Now feel free to take your own personality quiz. More About: Mobile , Review
Mobile Notary Review - CutePDF
2007-11-12 19:54:00 As always, FREE is my favorite word so when I discovered a FREE PDF writer I was ecstatic. I previously thought my only option was to spend hundreds of dollars on the Adobe product.Instead of wasting paper I often create PDFs of receipts and confirmations, or if I want to print an e-mail in which I am unable to predetermine how many pages will print I just print to CutePDF instead.The software is easy to download and install. Once it is installed creating a PDF is just as easy as printing a document because the program is now listed with your other printers.Others tell me they use PrimoPDF, which I have never used but I assume it works just the same.

2008 California Notary Law Changes
2007-11-07 22:34:00 When you are appointed as a notary public you are also appointed as an officer of the state (at least in CA). Your "boss" in a sense becomes the Secretary of State. With that said, you would think that the State of California would take the time to alert notaries of changes in the law that affect them but we know that logic does not always prevail. So it is up to each individual notary to apprise themselves of any changes in the law.California Notary Law Changes: Personal knowledge is no longer acceptable for verifying identify of a signerThe certificate of acknowledgment is now signed under penalty of perjuryA notary applicant must submit a photograph along with their applicationNotarizing a power of attorney now requires a thumb printWhen requested by a peace officer investigating a criminal offense, a notary must surrender their journal immediately or as soon as possible if the journal is not presentWillful failure to alert the Secretary of State of a ...
