Brainstorming with Tom Butler-Bowdon

Met up with Tom author of the best selling 50 Self-Help Classics in Blackwells Coffee Shop in Oxford; what a place to brainstorm surrounded by all that knowledge!

I mentioned that I'd created a Squidoo Lens on Everyday Sayings From the Bible which I said had been along with Shakespeare had been one of the greatest influences on the English language. So he bounced right back with why didn't a start a lens for William Shakespeare and so here it is Sayings that come from Shakespeare .

Now talk about my Serendipity Lens the first thing I learn is that the Knock-Knock-Who's-There joke probably was originated by Shakespeare that is another of my lens!!

Turn your Vacation into a Squidoo Lens

I wanted to publish my holiday photos, I also wanted to document the gradual disappearance of the traditional seaside villas here in Andernos les Bains, France or rather record the ones that were left. I thought of putting them up at Google's Picasa but then thought (*idea*) why not create a Squidoo Lens which will allow me to post my pictures and add descriptive text AND earn a modest residual income over the years to come!

Here is the result Andernos les Bains. Have you joined Squidoo yet? Join totally free here

Thereafter to only promote and nurture this pruned list. The other projects being left to their own devices.
