What do do when your iPhone crashes

I love my iPhone, and when it started randomly re-booting I was really bummed. Not being a ATT customer means there is no warranty, so I started my online search for iPhone Repairs.…. After a few minutes I came across ipodjuice.com I gave them a call and talked to one of their technicians about my problem, he knew instantly what I was talking about.

The whole process was a breeze. You order your evaluation and return shipping, print the reciept, box it and drop it in the mail. I used USPS Priority going there and FedEX 2 day shipping on the way back. I shot them an email letting them know it was on its way (on Friday) and recieved an email on Monday they they recieved it and it was in their work queue. Tuesday they had my estimate, Wedensday it was on its way back and Friday it was back in my hot-little-hands. Awesome service, reasonably priced and totally painless.

If you have an iPod that is losing it battery life, or has bad pixels they also sell do-it-yourself replacment kits. I will be using them again soon to replace my screen on my iPod video.

This is service like it’s supposed to be, 10 out of 10 – 5 Stars – 2 thumbs up!

2008 Fantasy Wedding Faire

Todays Fantasy Wedding Faire was non-stop brides from 11:00am to 4:00pm. It was great meeting everyone and hearing about their wedding plans. Unfortunately I didn’t bring my camera to get a photo of my booth (I know, bad photographer …) but I had a nice set-up. This year I decided to go with 10 large prints, half color and half black and white. It received a lot of oohhh’s and ahhhhh’s, and I got a ton of comments on how different my work was from everyone else’s … which is what I was going for. If you stopped by, THANKS!! It was great meeting you and I look forward to working with you. If you didn’t make it by here are the images that I had on display today ….

January is the month for MARKETING!

Right now I am in the middle of re-designing my web site.  I hope to have it finished by the Fantasy Wedding Faire – at The Grand Sierra Resort –  on the 27th of January. Please come by and say hi – I think I have booth 201 – If you would like to make an appointment at the show, please send me an e-mail.

I have also been working on a Wedding Vendor Directory for the last few months and it is almost ready to launch. I am going to offer vendors that I have worked with first shot at the “preferred listing” and category “banners.” My concept is a little different, well a lot different, than the other directories – and this will be strictly for the Reno – Tahoe area.

If your interested please send me all of your contact information

  • Company Name
  • Address – if you want that listed 
  • Website
  • Email
  • Phone
  • Description of your service
  • Logo JPG – I will size it accordingly

Also if your interested in a custom blog or website re-design please contact me. I have some awesome stuff to talk to you about.
