<p>Apple has just released the iPad.</p>
<p>Here are my thoughts on the Apple iPad:</p>
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s not light. It is not easy to hold in your hand.<br />
The screen is stunning, and it&#8217;s 1024 x 768. Feels and looks like a huge iPhone in your hands.<br />
The speed of the CPU is great.<br />
There&#8217;s no multitasking at all. It&#8217;s a real disappointment. A real deal killer for me.<br />
The ebook implementation is exciting and different. Great animation.<br />
No camera. It really is a big deal<br />
It&#8217;s running iPhone OS 3.2.<br />
No Flash confirmed. So no Youtube or Hulu&#8230;</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-351" title="sleep" src="http://www.jefffinch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/sleep-500x348.gif" alt="sleep 500x348 10 tips for better sleep" width="484" height="337" /></p>
<p>By just being in college it may seem like you are always tired. I know I am. Working along side going to school can be even more tiresome. Here are some tips from the Mayo Clinic for better sleep.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Go to bed and get up at about the same time every day, even on the weekends.</strong> Sticking to a schedule helps reinforce your body&#8217;s sleep-wake cycle and can help you fall asleep more easily at night.</li>
<li><strong>Don&#8217;t eat or drink large amounts before bedtime.</strong> Eat a light dinner at least two hours before sleeping. If you&#8217;re prone to heartburn, avoid spicy or fatty foods, which can make your heartburn flare and prevent a restful sleep. Also, limit how much you drink before bed. Too much liquid can cause you to wake up repeatedly during the night for trips to the toilet.</li>
<li><strong>Avoid nicotine, caffeine and alcohol in the evening.</strong> These are stimulants that can keep you awake. Smokers often experience withdrawal symptoms at night, and smoking in bed is dangerous. Avoid caffeine for eight hours before your planned bedtime. Your body doesn&#8217;t store caffeine, but it takes many hours to eliminate the stimulant and its effects. And although often believed to be a sedative, alcohol actually disrupts sleep.</li>
<li><strong>Exercise regularly.</strong> Regular physical activity, especially aerobic exercise, can help you fall asleep faster and make your sleep more restful. However, for some people, exercising right before bed may make getting to sleep more difficult.</li>
<li><strong>Make your bedroom cool, dark, quiet and comfortable.</strong> Create a room that&#8217;s ideal for sleeping. Adjust the lighting, temperature, humidity and noise level to your preferences. Use blackout curtains, eye covers, earplugs, extra blankets, a fan or white-noise generator, a humidifier or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs.</li>
<li><strong>Sleep primarily at night.</strong> Daytime naps may steal hours from nighttime slumber. Limit daytime sleep to about a half-hour and make it during midafternoon. If you work nights, keep your window coverings closed so that sunlight, which adjusts the body&#8217;s internal clock, doesn&#8217;t interrupt your sleep. If you have a day job and sleep at night, but still have trouble waking up, leave the window coverings open and let the sunlight help awaken you.</li>
<li><strong>Choose a comfortable mattress and pillow.</strong> Features of a good bed are subjective and differ for each person. But make sure you have a bed that&#8217;s comfortable. If you share your bed, make sure there&#8217;s enough room for two. Children and pets are often disruptive, so you may need to set limits on how often they sleep in bed with you.</li>
<li><strong>Start a relaxing bedtime routine.</strong> Do the same things each night to tell your body it&#8217;s time to wind down. This may include taking a warm bath or shower, reading a book, or listening to soothing music. Relaxing activities done with lowered lights can help ease the transition between wakefulness and sleepiness.</li>
<li><strong>Go to bed when you&#8217;re tired and turn out the lights.</strong> If you don&#8217;t fall asleep within 15 to 20 minutes, get up and do something else. Go back to bed when you&#8217;re tired. Don&#8217;t agonize over falling asleep. The stress will only prevent sleep.</li>
<li><strong>Use sleeping pills only as a last resort.</strong> Check with your doctor before taking any sleep medications. He or she can make sure the pills won&#8217;t interact with your other medications or with an existing medical condition. Your doctor can also help you determine the best dosage. If you do take a sleep medication, reduce the dosage gradually when you want to quit, and never mix alcohol and sleeping pills. If you feel sleepy or dizzy during the day, talk to your doctor about changing the dosage or discontinuing the pills.</li>
</ol>

<p>What is life like being a Millionaire? Sadly I have no idea. I think it all depends on how you became a Millionaire. If you became a Millionaire as the result of running a business I think you would feel very proud of yourself. If you became a Millionaire as an actor you would be proud of yourself. But I feel the Millionaire who got there from running a business would take pride in himself more because he most likely did it by himself. On to what I would do if I were a Millionaire. If there comes a day when my bank account says $1,000,000 I will feel great knowing that I got to that point. Now how would I spend the money. Some of it would be spent on Google Stock. But most of it would be spent on small unique websites that are not at their peak. With those small websites I could turn those into big websites. So what would you do with $1,000,000?</p>

Recently I came across a post about getting <a href="http://www.jefffinch.com/amazon" target="_blank">Amazon Prime</a> free for one month. As many internet marketers know, subscriptions are a great way of making a continuous amount of money. So I thought that <a href="http://www.jefffinch.com/amazon" target="_blank">Amazon</a> would do the same. I was wrong. In reality with <a href="http://www.jefffinch.com/amazon" target="_blank">Amazon</a> you can opt out after the free first month. All you have to do is go to &#8216;<a href="http://www.jefffinch.com/amazon" target="_blank">Manage Your Amazon Prime Membership</a>&#8216; in your account page. And click the Do Not Upgrade button and low and behold it will not renew the following month.</p>
