Feel Like you are in an Information Traffic Jam Lately?

 I am Colleen Kulikowski and I am a Type E.  I can start many posts in a single bound!  And sometimes it seems the ideas just flow faster than I can process them.  Right now there are a dozen half written posts and a list of another 100+ ideas just waiting to be written.  I find inspiration in everything I come across.

Ever feel that way?

Your brain can only hold so much information and you start thinking about something and then you have an idea it takes you in a totally different direction. Today was a perfect example of the traffice jam in my brain!

First I wrote about Tourist Attractions in the Greater Orlando Area, which then inspired me to write about the bedroom community in Polk County of Davenport.  As I compiled the post about Davenport, I had Good Morning America in on the Tv and a segment came on about Freakonomics.  In it the discussion about the herd mentality.  Bing another idea to write about!  I suddenly am too busy to answer phone calls from Neal Bloom and Margaret Rome.   Neal -- The Buffalo Sabres are going to win tonight -- I look forward to watching the NY Rangers lose!  Margaret -- rest assured I am an E in balance, I just ate, got good night's sleep and I might exercise tonight!

Yikes another post to write!  But I have a Blog started, where to start this next post?  I had been using Google Docs, but I have been having all sorts of strange things happening with such documents lately!  In desperation I want to start writing, I open up Outlook email message and drop it in there to not lose the train of though...  Cut and paste it into Active Rain all is well with the world!   Never thought about that before, definately going to have to use this as another place to compose posts...

But my brain didn't just stop there, I needed to update a links spreadsheet that our team uses when we blog to easily link back to our posts in future posts.   I then wrote an email message that shows a brief summary of our posts on http://celebrationfloridahomes.blogspot.com/, http://marcoislandhomes.blogspot.com/ to email to our distribution list.  Since 7am this morning I placed 25 ideas on my idea list of things I want to write about, made 30 follow up phone call and had a 2 hour conference call.  It is almost 4:30, I think it is time to eat but I have three things that I want to accomplish before I do so.  

So do you ever feel like you are on Information Overload and how do you handle it?  Me, I have to go read now, and update the post I did for the Fruit Challenge, which most likely will give me an idea or two to add to the other 25 ideas I added today!

Celebration Florida - What a Weekend!

Celebration Florida is an all-American town!  And you can't get any more all-American than Hot Cars, Home Made Pies and Disney!   This weekend has a little bit of everything for everyone here in Celebration Florida!  

You have the Disney closeout sale happening!   Oh the deal there are to be had!  

Then you have the:  Ferrari Club 4th Annual Celebration Exotic Car Festival

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Then there was the Great American Pie Festival.  Downtown Celebration streets were closed off and we had an opportunity to stroll along and look at the cars, and hit the All You Can Eat Pie Buffet at the Great American Pie Festival.

The festivities continue tomorrow, so be early and enjoy it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attention Florida Home Buyers!

  

Buying a home can be a confusing time in Celebration Florida.   I know I have been in that position more than once in my life. 

Now as a Realtor I find that it can be most confusing with the sheer volume of information that you are exposed to via the Internet.

What Does Celebration Florida and Active Rain have in common?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is fun, I was driving around Celebration yesterday and I suddenly started thinking of writing a really cool post about the various streets here in Celebration Florida and how they have to relate to the famous fruits that we have to input when we post comments.

You know those apples, apricots, avocados, bananas, blackberries, blueberries, cantaloupes, cherry, carrots, dates, elderberries, figs, grapes,  grapefruits, gooseberries, lychees, gauve, kiwis, kumquats, lemons, limes, mangos, olives, oranges, papayas, passion, peaches, pears, persimmons, pineapples, plums, pomegranates, strawberries, tangeriens and tomatoes we are constantly reminded about...  That reminds me I am getting hungry, but I am going off topic!

Active Rain generates ideas for people.  Sometimes they are immediate, sometimes they take time. Mariana Wagner wrote a great post about the fruits and I have to admit linking to it a moment ago I started to chuckle, so if you haven't read it it is a great read.   In fact it is what has inspired this post.   

There goes a really cool BLOG post like Mariana did, perhaps someone else will be able to come up with it.   So how many cool streets can  you associate with Active Rain and your community?

By the way according to the top secret document that Marianna had when you get "Elderberry- it means Your comment was a blatant act of copyright infringement. The proper authorities have been notified." Luckily for me, I took all of these photos and I properly credited Mariana for the idea.    Read more about Elderberry Court over at my website - www.ParadiseReport.com.

Traditional Media vs. Blogging

 

 

I was listening to National Public Radio and there was an interesting discussion about how traditional Sports media is threatened by the BLOG world.  The broadcast was title:  "ESPN Apologies for Radio Host's Attack on BLOG"

Sound familiar folks? Listening to the broadcast I was struck by the changes in the media and how we as human beings process such information.  And the impact of it. Blogging is immediate, traditional media has lag time.  

Traditional Media outlets are loosing their audiences daily to BLOGS and they are threatened. 

But it isn't just Don Imus that is getting into trouble with what he says, it is other hosts too...

Read more about this attack, listen to the NPR broadcast and my thoughts on the subject at Celebration Florida Homes.
