If you advertise on radio or online you would do well to snatch one of the 3 remaining seats for the highly acclaimed 2-day course by the amazing Maddock and Sexton, How to Write for Radio and the Internet.  Aug 26-27 Wizard Academy

Also on the near horizon is Accelerated Branding with myself and David Freeman. This course happens only once a year because it takes 11 months to recover from it. Yes, it’s that intense. You really ought to come. This class will change how you see opportunity. Sept. 16-17 Wizard Academy

Wizard Academy is a 501c3 not-for-profit educational organization.

That's what I am doing. Shutting up shop to go to the spelling paddock... it's time to explore and refresh.

I'll be back with the Chronicle in 2 weeks.

2. Earth Hour - (Be patient as it is an extremely slow loading site)

At 8pm tonight... Are you turning out your lights for an hour? 

"On March 31 2007, for one hour, Sydney made a powerful statement about the greatest contributor to global warming – coal-fired electricity – by turning off its lights. Over 2.2 million Sydney residents and over 2,100 businesses switched off, leading to a 10.2% energy reduction across the city. What began as one city taking a stand against global warming caught the attention of the world.

In 2008, 24 global cities will participate in Earth Hour at 8pm on March 29. Earth Hour is the highlight of a major campaign to encourage businesses, communities and individuals to take the simple steps needed to cut their emissions on an ongoing basis. It is about simple changes that will collectively make a difference – from businesses turning off their lights when their offices are empty, to households turning off appliances rather than leaving them on standby."
