20% Time Blog Post #3 - Balisong

I am going to learn the twirl ladder this weekend. I've been busy with school and haven't had much time to learn any new moves. One of the challenges being it's very hard to flip with cold hands. My dexterity is generally decreased when it's cold. The twirl ladder is an advanced maneuver that uses all fingers which is a big step for me. This is because I never use my pinky because I'm not that good yet. I'll have to put a lot of time and effort in to get this one down so it will probably be pretty sloppy still by the next blog post.

    I find your 20% Time topic very interesting although I don't know much about it. It makes sense that is would be harder to practice in the winter because your hands are cold, and I hope you are able to find time to learn the twirl ladder by the next blog post.

eCommerce Blog #5 - LG G8X ThinQ Dual Screen

The new LG G8X ThinQ Dual Screen smartphone isn't exactly what comes to mind when thinking "revolutionary folding smartphone," but its price is unbeatable. Here is the link to LG's website -  https://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones?cmpid=SEM_MU_Phone_G8X-NPI_Subcat_Google_MC-NPI-GGL-Srch-Brand-G8X-Only-BMM-+lg+g8x&gclid=CjwKCAiAwZTuBRAYEiwAcr67OVFWa3rIN4B8OUoHXVD5s4QUSqkn1bSca-fPV4Z2IFHdPxO-hkEvABoCZEkQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds The LG G8X ThinQ Dual Screen phone can be used primarily with dual screen capabilities, but the second screen can be detached when going minimalist. You can use two apps at once without constantly having to toggle between them. The second screen is pretty much identical to the phone's screen, it even has the same camera cutout - even though there is no camera. The 6.4" OLED Fullvision Displays allow you to multitask like never before. The phone itself has a 4000 mAh battery for insane battery life, before adding the second screen. It f...

eCommerce Blog #2

Here are some things I learned about things to sell when starting a DIY business from this article  https://www.shopify.ca/blog/things-to-make-and-sell  T-Shirts and Printed Merchandise: This is for people who don't have the time or money to make the physical product themselves. Design your product/logo and have it printed onto various items. Handcrafted goods: Wood, leather, and pottery are all good examples of things that people want to buy. These products are one of a kind and can't be found from big companies. You will sell more products as you get better at making them. -Noah Best

eCommerce Blog #4 - Product Descriptions

To be able to sell your product in the eCommerce business, an interesting and effective product description can be very helpful. Here are some tips I found in this Shopify article by    Henneke Duistermaat :  https://www.shopify.ca/blog/8211159-9-simple-ways-to-write-product-descriptions-that-sell The first tip is to focus on the ideal buyer. Think about their interests, sense of humor, and what words they like or hate. Use the word "you" as if you're having a conversation with your buyer. Try to incorporate hypothetical face-to-face dialogue in your product description. Another tip is to avoid mundane and overused phrases such as "excellent product quality." These are called (by the author) "yeah, yeah" phrases, because people will see those phrases and think "yeah, yeah everyone says that." Saying "yeah, yeah" phrases can deter potential buyers and make your product seem bland. Instead, describe details and their given benefit...
