Just got an email informing me that I’m getting part of a settlement from a class action lawsuit because of some issue concerning LinkedIn advertising.
I just have to click on the link to get my share of the settlement.
My share: $1.04. That’s right… One dollar and four cents.
Oh, I can’t wait to click on that link to see what happens next. 🤣
Memorial Day is a time to remember our fallen. Many use this weekend as an official start to Summer with a cookout.
My wife has always joked, because of my love of using a grill to cook (I don’t know of any other way). She calls it Mike’s Bar and Grill and even got a glass and tray made with the title. It’s at our home.
Our family and neighbors have opined that what I produce on the grill is really good. I thought so but to me, it never had that steakhouse flavor. So, I was looking for a way to up my game.
I found it.
Now you can do it too with the Schwank 1500 Degree Portable Infrared Grill
Only the best steakhouses use infrared technology to cook the juiciest steaks. The Schwank Grill company has been providing top steakhouses with their grills for over 40 years. Now they’re available to consumers.
PERFECTLY SEARED Searing your steak at extreme temperatures of 1500 degrees F produces a delicious golden brown crust on both sides without overcooking the inside. Traditional grills only reach up to 600 degrees. More than double that is the secret to steakhouse taste.
INCREDIBLY JUICY Extreme temperatures generate a “Maillard Reaction” causing amino acids to react with sugars to intensify flavor and produce the juiciest steak you’ve ever tasted.
READY IN MINUTES More heat means less time from the grill to your mouth. Your steak is ready in as little as 3 minutes depending on thickness and your desired doneness.
Schwank Grills are proudly Made in the USA.

You have just 0.05 seconds to grab someone’s attention on social media* before they scroll past, making design your most powerful tool to stand out.
That’s why I created the “Made You Look” banner/cover/masthead, a bold and eye-catching header perfect for all my social media platforms. The design uses primary colors—blue, red, yellow, and a touch of green—alongside a stark black-and-white contrast to ensure it stands out in a crowded digital space.
Why Primary Colors?
Primary colors are the building blocks of the color spectrum, universally recognized and emotionally evocative. Blue conveys trust and reliability, red demands urgency and passion, yellow radiates optimism, and green adds a sense of balance and the urge to GO! Together, they create a visual harmony that’s impossible to ignore.
In the “Made You Look” banner, these colors are arranged in a geometric layout inspired by modernist art**, giving the design a timeless yet contemporary feel. The black outlines and text provide a sharp contrast, ensuring the words pop against the vibrant background, while the gray section adds a subtle balance to avoid overwhelming the viewer.
The Importance of Grabbing Attention First
On social media, users scroll through endless content at lightning speed. If your header doesn’t stop them in their tracks, your message—no matter how insightful—will go unnoticed.
