R.Beck turns 10!

Yes, it’s true. It has been 10 years since June 1997, when I ventured out of the corporate confines to join the ranks of the self-employed. I’ve never worked harder in my life as I have over these past 10 years but, despite the long hours, I’ve truly enjoyed all the learning experiences and the ups and downs that have come along with it. I’ve met some very nice, helpful folks along the way and appreciate all the kind words and encouragement offered to me through the years. I especially thank my clients who have been with me from my very start during the late-90’s advertising “salad days” and ventured on with me through the challenging business climate following 9/11 as well. All in all, I appreciate the opportunity to continue to work with all my clients as I look forward to continuing my business relationships with all my “associates” for many years to come!

What I’ll be doing for Summer vacation…

Well, not really vacation, but it should be alot of fun!
This Summer, I’ve accepted a gig working as an usher for the Tri-City Valley Cats
Baseball Team at Joseph Bruno Stadium in Troy. As a lifelong baseball fan,
I am very excited to experience first-hand the ins-and-outs of all the hard-work
involved in putting on a professional sporting event night after night.
It really should be a blast!

If you haven’t been to a game yet this would be a great season to stop by and see a great game by the Houston Astros Single “A” Affiliate Team right in your own backyard. The ‘Cats will be playing 38 home games this year, 36 of which start at 7pm. A number of games also have fireworks after the game which makes for a fun and (very reasonably priced) night out for the whole family.

Hope to see you at “The Joe”!

Do you think they can hack it?

Well, perhaps they could. If you were to choose some of the
most widely used passwords, you might be making yourself
vulnerable to identity theft. Take a few minutes and check out this article
listing the most commonly used passwords and make sure you are
using the internet safely as you should.

Another good reason to take the subway…

Not only is it environmentally friendly to use the mass transit
system when you visit a major city, but it turns out that it can be pretty
entertaining too. Some creative advertising folks have taking the old-fashioned
“flip-book” concept and created a series of still billboards that when viewed
from a speeding subway window, it will appear that you are watching a
moving video billboard. Neat huh? So the next time you visit Boston, San Francisco,
London, Rio de Janeiro or any other major city, it might be worth checking out!
