Tuskegee Airmen Bob Friend

“Lt. Col. Bob Friend

Yes it’s been a year! On my first blog a year ago I commented on a famous Woodstock photograph, so today I will do the same.

Yea… Can you Beleive it?… LOL just kidding but I have VIDEO!!! I Created this video for the Holidays.

Well this year is almost over and I decided to do something fun for the holidays! I noticed the Statue of Mr. Addison Mizner with his Monkey on his arm, It’s across the way from my studio at THE BOCA GRAND BUILDING in the corner of SE4th and federal. At night it is lit in many holiday colors so this served as my inspiration for this HD video I took with my Canon Eos 5D Mark II and to top it off I “Digitally added” some SNOW! At night I also videoed the colorful lights, it gives downtown Boca a “holiday feel” that I enjoy. Check out these pics and videos I took at night!

Lastly a video at night… HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

We’re a Favorite Place on GOOGLE!!!!!!!

Michael — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 21:37:19 +0000

I got a GREAT present for Christmas this year and early to boot… not from Santa but maybe even BETTER!

FROM GOOGLE!!!! It was a regular day today until I went to my mailbox and found this in it….

My Google Envelope

At first I thought it was a regular Google advertisement piece…. but then I read the letter and started to jump up and down, I could not believe what I was reading it was like I won the LOTTERY!!!

My GOOGLE FAVORITE PLACE AWARD LETTER FROM GOOGLE

The letter basically said: “Congratulations! You’re a Favorite Place on Google”…

” Michaela Prescott The Google Local Business Team”

it also included a sticker (they call it a decal) for me to put on my door… so I did, here is the video:

Below is a video from Google explaining this COOL NEW QR code TECHNOLOGY…

Click on my Google Sticker below to go to Google’s page explaining the technology and how to use it.

My GOOGLE STICKER

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN????????

ANSEWER FROM Google website:

How did Google decide which businesses would receive the decal? The list was determined based on the popularity of a business’ Local Business Center listing, as determined by how many times Google users looked for more information about a business, requested driving directions to get there, and more. Google users “decided” based on their actions, and we sent the decals.

How selective was Google in selecting the businesses to receive the decal? Over 100,000 businesses were identified as Favorite Places, representing less than 1% of the 28 million U.S. businesses. We believe that our standards for selecting businesses are as selective or more selective than other companies which have run similar initiatives.

THANK YOU Google (AND MY CUSTOMERS)

P.S. I STILL USE THE GOOGLE MUG YOU SENT ME LONG AGO…

AND I LOVE GOOGLE CHROME!!!!

MY GOOGLE MUG... I LOVE GOOGLE!
