This is a simple and easy blog post, I have 8 Wave invites and 2 Voice invites.  Leave a comment with what you want and i’ll give them out.  Enjoy!

One of favorite books that I have actually read (not many of those) is Francis Chan’s Crazy Love. It’s one of those very challenging and make you think type of books that I have to go back and read every once in a while just to get my priorities right.  I’ve included a video below that is the introduction video for book, you’ll want to check this out! Don’t like reading? The audiobook is available for free during the month of July from christianaudio.com. So stop and go download it and start listening and when you finish go tell all your friends!

Have I told you lately how much I love the fact that Mozy sends me an affiliate check every month? It’s pretty easy to get people to sign-up for a free 2GB online backup site that works great. It’s one of the ways I’m using to help pay for my Navajo Mission trip so know that not only is it something i use and love it’s also helping support a great cause. So follow this link, http://bit.ly/mozyfree, sign-up for your free account and then once you’re registered click on the affiliate link on the bottom of the page and get ready to start getting your checks from Mozy.

After diving a little deeper I’ve found some more free steak lunches for all you hungery IT friends.  For a good free meal at Morton’s Steakhouse I certainly would go if it was close, especially for a relatively short time requirement just for lunch from 11-1:30pm.  This one is being put on by and for LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Management Seminars and there are events in OH, MD, NJ, and FL. Here’s some more info and the link to register for each location is below:

The presentation will be followed by a private screening of the new “Transformers” movie! Breakfast and snacks will be provided.

As I seem to find my way into getting lots of invites for free trainings, sales pitches, etc that involve free food, movies, etc I’m going to start a new category called “tech freebies” on my blog for those that are always asking to get a free “something”. If you’d like please pass along any freebies you find and I’ll share with everyone as well.

The first one I have to share I wish was a little closer to home for me but don’t think I can justify the drive across the state.  But for a free meal at Morton’s Steakhouse I certainly would go if it was close, especially for a relatively short time requirement just for lunch from 11-1:30pm.  This one is being put on by and for LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Management Seminars in Miami, FL on June 19th, here’s the link to register and more info direct from them:
