If you a business owner in todays world of technology you better be treating your customers with some respect.  I’m an avid antique care enthusiast and love a good collector car auction.  I often spend hours watching the Barrett Jackson auctions being recapped on television and have often wondered how people could spend that much money on a car.  Well as it turns out another rather well know classic car auction company has really ticked off some of its buyers and sellers alike. Once such disgruntled person has not only went to the papers but has started his own blog called Kruse Internation Rippoff.  After reading his site I for one would be scared to death to buy or sell any expensive car through an auction.  It doesnt make you any profit if you never get paid.  If you’d like to read the whole story about how a business has really went wrong in their handling of clients and customers you’ll love reading his site and others with similar complaints.  As a small business owner my self I must say I had never really considered just the impact the internet could have on ones business.

I’ve been playing with wordpress for a while now and keep running into all sorts of thing I would like to do but just can’t seem to find a plug in for them.  My work has asked me to start a site for them but I’m not sure wordpress would be right.  I’m not overly technical by nature and learning a new content management system like Joomla or Drupal might be a bit out of my league.  I know many people that have been switching off of wordpress, blogger and others in favor of Joomla.  There seems to be a lot more Joomla Templates that appeal to me more than Drupal.  I’m not real sure what type of add ons are available but I’m sure with its popularity joomla should have everything i’m looking for.  I went to their site, logged on and ran through the Joomla demos but still not certain if its exactly what I want.  I think I’ll download both Joomla and Drupal this weekend and get them running to see how complicated they are and which one I like better.  I’m just getting tired of the same old same old with wordpress and it’s time for a change.   If anyone has a suggestion as to which content management system is the best to use let me know.  I’m also interested in finding some more good locations for templates.

Welcome to my little part of the internet where I will discuss many differnt topics as they relate to life, working and traveling.  I like many others work and slave 40+ hours a week to make a living in the hopes that some day my wife and I can retire and do some traveling.  I will be using this site to complain, brag, dream about things in my life.  If  you find the need to make a comment please be courteous and post something useful to the topic being discussed.  Spamming my comments just for the sake of promoting your travel site will only get deleted.  I hope you find something here that will in some way make you more informed, motivated or amused.
