Having built a small business into the Stamford-based WWE, a leader in the broadcast and entertainment industries, Mrs. McMahon plans to share her business experience and expertise with the chapter members.

If you are a small business owner in Stamford, and would like to visit as a guest on Monday to meet members of the chapter, to hear Mrs. McMahon speak, and to find out more about how joining BNI can help you grow your business, please contact chapter vice president Steve Watson.

Business Networking International (BNI) is the largest business networking organization in the world. BNI teaches members the “Givers Gain” philosophy of networking to build businesses through trusted relationships. Each local chapter is composed of business owners from many different professions, and the power of the format is that only one member from each profession is represented within a chapter. Members meet weekly and refer business to each other. For more information, visit the BNI website or visit the 3rd Street BNI Chapter on Facebook.

Once Upon A Time introduces time travel and effectively unravels the show’s entire plot line.

For those who may not know, Once Upon A Time is the new ABC television drama written by Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis (of Lost fame) and starring Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison, and the deliciously diabolical Lana Parrilla as the Evil Queen. The general premise is that all the fairy tale characters (and a few borrowed from Greek mythology) are “trapped” in the real world but don’t know it. Kind of like the comic book series Fables by Bill Willingham (but different enough that he’s okay with it). It’s a good show, you should watch it despite the temporal faux pas.

In tonight’s episode entitled An Apple Red As Blood, the Evil Queen uses magic to retrieve the poison apple not just across the two realities but actually backwards in time. This, of course, begs the question: If the Evil Queen can go back in time for an apple then why not just go back before her love was killed. After all, this is the reason we’re given why the Evil Queen hates Snow White so much (she blames Snow for her love’s death) and, in turn, why she cursed the entire Fairy Tale realm to a little town in Maine.

Okay, just saying.

Overall, Siri does an okay job as long as you are, well, less colloquial.

If I say it like Mr. Jackson, “she” sort of gets it right but words like risotto and gazpacho confuse “her” (maybe it’s my accent). But if I say, “Find stores that sell organic mushrooms,” no problem.

To the statement, “You can take the night off,” Siri has several responses (all valid) but on my third attempt, she did say “If you say so.”  Pretty cool. Nothing elitist about it. But Apple should do a commercial like that… it would really get the Web abuzz.

Okay, Keenan Cahill’s lip-syncing videos are just a little freaky but that’s why so many people watch them… and there is no arguing with success. Over 50 million views of Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” (since August of 2010) has made BeenerKeeKee19952 not only an instant YouTube sensation but a hot viral commodity.

Now with over 170 videos, the success is surreal.

From the likes of Sean Kingston and 50 Cent to the casts of Glee and Nickelodeon’s Victorious, the teenager with MSP (a rare genetic disorder that affects physical and mental development) has stood next to more celebrities than Ryan Seacrest. He has even performed “Go NY Go” with Landry Fields and Andy Rautins of New York Knicks (along with the NY Knicks Cheerleaders).

He has appeared on Chelsea Handler’s show Chelsea Lately, helped Jennifer Aniston go “viral” for Smartwater, and has his own Web series called Keenan’s Crush featuring the always sexy Jessica Uberuaga. And the endorsement deals keep rolling in… from Julianne Hough promoting her Footloose remake to Axe body spray to Me Undies (there is just nothing wrong with women dancing in their underwear).

This is the power of the Web, unfettered, dreams can soar. Anyone can be a star. And if you’re an astute marketer paying attention to social media trends, get ready to hitch your wagon to the next Keenan Cahill and sit back (or should I say lean forward).

Screenr

You will need to install Java (one-time but it takes up to 5 minutes). Screenr plays back in hi-def when published and integrates with a number of existing collaboration systems like ZenDesk, SalesForce, and FogBugz. There is even an API.

It is free to try for 15 days (no credit card required) then you’ll need to decide on one of four monthly plans, ranging from $19/mo (private use with up to 250 screencasts), $49/mo (standard and up to 1,000 screencasts), $99/mo (premium and 2,500 screencasts), and $289/mo (enterprise and 7,500 screencasts).

The story of Easter is the story of God’s wonderful window of divine surprise. One of my favorite quotes of the holiday season.

Yes, it is a maze. A while back, I created a series of holiday “maze” cards like this one and this one. They were sent only to family and friends along with a personalized greeting (removed). I’ve been asked by some readers not to share the solution of my mazes until after they have had a go at it. Apparently, even catching a glimpse can reveal too much so if you really need help, post a comment and I’ll send you the solution.

Rehabilitation Through The Arts or RTA website was given a long overdue update, just in time to celebrate it’s 15th year helping men and women “behind the walls” reconnect with their humanity through the arts, including theatre, music, writing, and dance. What RTA has accomplished within the last decade and a half is nothing short of impressive with a recidivism rate (3 in 40) well below the average 40% for all New York state inmates. Throughout the year, RTA will be putting on special programs with alumni at the Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, NY (by invitation only).

Google announced earlier this month the new cloud-based service that consolidates Google Movies, Google Music, Google eBookstore, and the Android Market under one entertainment hub (Play even gets its own spot on the Google menu bar).

This is a big step forward in Google’s effort to dispel user concerns that offerings are too fragmented. Yes, indeed, they are fragmented, but the company has a plan to bring tighter integration via its social network Google+ while, at the same time, cutting deals with content prividers like Paramount.

On a related front, Google is waiving its $25 setup fee (from 3/27 through 4/3) to encourage musicians to set up a store page and sell their music on the Google Play Artist Hub. No annual fee and artist get to keep 70% of what they make, paid monthly.
