Playing reporter online, in print & in life…
By Jeff Zbar | January 7, 2008
I’m a journalist by trade, so I have access to boundless news on the latest technology and trends out there for organizing my home office, small business and household in general. But I also have developed a pretty keen nose for news — and have learned to ferret out tidbits of information that may lead either to 1. Content for concepts I can transform into an article — for which I then can invoice and earn some $$, or 2. Plain ol’ products that can enhance my life, improve my home office, help organize my space – and maybe be transformed into an article for which I eventually can earn some $$ for. Either way, I’m keen to learning what’s out there that can improve the way I work and live. Why would I tell you this? Because life is a journey of exploration. It’s fun to seek out new things (products, technology, tools, toys, etc.) that can add value or pleasure to our lives. Two of my most recent examples include the Dyson Root 6 handheld vacuum, a powerhorse that cleans nooks and crannies in my home and home office in short order; and the CallPod ChargePod, a 2.75-inch diameter disk that has six USB outlets (adapters additional) for charging a variety of devices, like MP3 players, cell phones, Bluetooth earbuds – all at once. The Dyson I saw on television, and the ChargePod I discovered while surfing the Technology page at USAToday.com. The point here is that no matter whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, a time-starved CEO, or a home-based journalist, the latest news on products that can improve your life is out there — if only you know where, how and when to look. Put on your reporter hat and start looking…
