If you’ve followed the blog over the past few years, you know I’m a huge fan of Shopping Portals I use them when I buy anything, whether it is to resell or for personal consumption.

I’ve been putting on ResellingDO reselling events for years. On average, we do 2 events per year. #NapaDO is the latest of those events, but I find some of the feedback I’ve received privately rather interesting. Since the first ResellingDO I’ve been uber conscious on cost. The event series started out as an idea to…
While most people watch the “big game” for football, others watched for one reason: Super Bowl LII commercials. I found a selection of Super Bowl LII commercials, for this case, with an #avgeek or travel tint.The first commercial to run was from Turkish Airways.You may recall last year’s commercial with Morgan Freeman: And, oh yeah, they…
