    Todd, it’s been a little over a month and I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering how you’re making out.

    Yes, you do need a work visa. The one time I got through the border without a visa it was a real hassle. I was working for a large US company with plants all over Canada. The Customs Agent at the border held us until the CEO sent him an email on company stationary explaining why me and my crew were hired and not a Canadian crew.

  • Many many years ago, I bought a “Designing a Website for Dummies” book. It was the best decision I made for my business life. Not only did it help me build my own sites at first, then with a real coder, make my own updates, and get me into search engine optimization, but I built e-Learning sites to host videos and synchornized powerpoint (video webinars) for client companies, solving their internal and external communication problems, while expanding my business portfolio. I learned the difference between graphic designers who could put together pretty sites, and coders who could “design” to get hits and business leads. For me the DIY approach paid off and I would HIGHLY recommend if you are a business owner of any kind to learn the basics of your primary point of contact with clients and future clients.

    Personally I think html coding / website design should be a must for all entrepreneurs and mandatory in high schools or college business courses.

    PS Now before you go a lookin’ let me save you time. I haven’t updated my own site in years. On the summer to do list.

    Best,
    Bob

    1. A can or two of Febreze might be worth the try before sending your case back.

    2. At first I was disappointed with the Mavic bag, but like it now for the compactness and how easy it is to take it anywhere. The trick is the elastics or velcro around the props.

    Google Ad Word companies call most days with a close second to voice over artists. Polite responses are a variable.
