About Palm Springs
Here are 10 Palm Springs (California) truths, as I came to discover this afternoon:
- It’s hot. Damn hot. All the time. Hot.
- It’s not very humid. Even the water is dry.
- High school students drive expensive cars.
- There’s a new real estate development on every block.
- $12M homes are considered “the slums.”
- Golfers come here to play, retire, and die.
- Starbucks is considered good coffee.
- Taxi drivers are very friendly.
- Wilderness sits between here and San Diego
- The airport is surrounded by the world’s worst turbulence
I’m speaking at an event for oneNetworkDirect publishers and affiliates tomorrow (even though I’m not a huge fan of affiliate programs). This is an opportunity to get some of those folks to understand that branding is still as important as it ever was. I’m somewhere in the middle of the day, with a presentation titled “Embracing Audio, Video, and the Blogosphere to brand your website.” I did my best to craft a suitable presentation.

I wish I could see that! I’m running a site for someone, and would love help like that. Can you have the presentation recorded? And then you could release this as a Lockergnome exclusive DVD or something.

Hey Chris I’ve been watching your fifty-two minute long video on youtube and think it’s great work and very informative. I appreciate the time you put into the making of the video. Unfortunately, I’M running into a big problem with Vista. I purchased a new HP pavilion 9207 laptop and it came with vista home premium installed. 1.0 GB of ram, 180 GB SATA HD, Intel Core Duo CPU T2250 @ 1.73 GHz 1.73GHz. When I try to do a clean install of XP on the laptop I’M receiving an error that says “Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer”. I’M trying to find the xp drivers for this machine but keep getting redirected to HP who is no help at all. Do you have any input you may be able to lend to me that would be of any assistance?
I’d greatly appreciate it. Just let me say thank you in advance and keep up the good informative work you’re doing

A lot of what you said about Palm Springs is true, but when you mention all that wind you must mention all of the green power that is generated by those windmills surrounding the city.
Also..if you want to see another nearby airport with plenty of wind, check out Ontario.
