Empire Avenue Update

Ahoy me hearty!

Today is the last day of November. Here is an Empire Avenue update. Looking at my Louie report you can see my growing and improving statistics. The most noticeable things, everyone is buying and very few (2 people) are selling. My value is growing, all statistics are up (in the green). And my daily dividend is around 1.00 eaves.

Empire Avenue Report after long Thanksgiving Weekend


I have been "playing" Empire Avenue for a bit longer than three months. And I have been growing slow and steady as she goes... :)

I think I have maintained my position pretty well during the long Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. 


Look at my statistics in the image.






Buy buy buy!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Me Hearties, Arrr


Happy Thanksgiving!

How To Observe Thanksgiving

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.

Klout Update of My Profile

Ahoy and good Monday morning.

When I check my Klout score this morning I immediately noticed a full two point increase. From 53 to 55 (and it was a full 2 points).

After a little research, Klout explained that there has been a problem with the Facebook updates and therefore the score hasn't been correct. Supposedly this has been fixed.

In addition, for as long as I can remember, I have been a Syndicator on Klout. With my position in the upper left quadrant. Yesterday my position changed to the far lower right corner and I am now a Specialist.



Be havin' a wonderful week!

Arrrrr.

Dancing in a Grocery Store Video


Justine of iJustine posted a Vlog University video on Wednesday.

In this Vlog University episode, like every episode, she gives out a "homework" assignment.

The homework for the next episode is to dance in a grocery store :) Shoot and upload your video as a response to this video for a chance to be featured next episode! 


So...On our weekly Thursday shopping trip I shot video of me dancing in the grocery store.



I did some heavy editing so only I appear. And condensed it down to a total length of 3 minutes.

All You Can Eat Steak Dinner

Ahoy me hearties.

Last night, actually it was afternoon, we went to a restaurant near the beach for dinner. My mom is visiting (down from Chicago 'burbs) for a few days. Friday night happened to be all-you-can-eat steak night. So of course, this is what I ordered.




Don't tell anyone, I had three steaks. :)

This eating out, and pigging out, is really hard on a guy. Whew...

Creating a Custom YouTube Video Thumbnail


I have received many requests to explain how I make my thumbnail images.

So in this video, I will show you exactly how I do it, you will see every single step to design and create the thumbnail for this video.

To sart, you want a clean, simple, and bright background. Mine is a blue color that fades to white at the bottom.
 
If you have any questions about custom thumbnails, ask in the comments on the YouTube video. I will do my best to help you.

Snag It Screen Capture Software

I just downloaded the 30 day free trial version of Snag It screen capture software. It is rated #1 screen capture software. It is very powerful. I am basically looking for video capture. I use GIMP image editor so I don't need all the fancy static capture. And it saves video in AVI format which doesn't thrill me. YouTube doesn't like AVI, which isn't critical for me, I can convert the video files...But this adds another step. Sigh...

But I did a test run and it is pretty slick.

Stay tuned for more information.

Empire Avenue Really Close to the 100 Eave Stock Price


This is my private "Louie" page from this morning. The blue represents buyers, investors. The tiny red slice represents sellers. Mostly buyers, investors!

My dividend is well above 1.00 at 1.09.

My stock price is steadily climbing, currently at 99.23. Just 0.77 eaves from 100.00! Woo-hoo.







I am doing well "playing" the game. I am number 65 on the top 100 Empire Ave leader board and my Empire avenue score just went up from 55 to 56. So tomorrow I hopefully will rank even higher! 

As you see, I should reach the Century Mark (stock price of 100ea) very soon. Probably some time in the next few days.

Here is my EA profile: http://www.empireavenue.com/captroblee

Thank you for investing!

Klout Follow Up

This is a follow up post to the Klout post of Oct 27, 2011.

http://captroblee.blogspot.com/2011/10/klout-statistical-tool-or-game.html

In this thread I questioned whether Klout is a tool or a game. Please read it to see what I am talking about.


Today, when I visited the Klout site I saw a pleasant surprise.

I have some good news about my Klout Score. Evidently some adjustment has been made. Remember, before the algorithm change, my Klout score was a steady 56-57. After the change it dropped to 50 and slowly decreased to 49.47, 49, yesterday.

Well, today it jumped up to 54!! Woo-hoo. Something must have been adjusted.


Thank you Klout for whatever happened! I definitely feel better about my score today.

A humble pirate thank you.

Empire Avenue Leader Board

I have been climbing the Empire Avenue Leader board. Slow and steady she goes... :)

I have been at number 70 in all of the United States for quite sometime now. Today, I climbed a point to the number 69 position. Also of note, I am the second person with a score of 54. Maybe, just maybe, I will be advancing from 54 to 55 soon?


Look at my score in the image.
