My name is Hal.
I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA People call it Philly for short).
My skills include video editing, writing, songwriting, music production and some web-building knowledge (a little html, flash, javascript copy and pasting)… you know... just enough to be considered dangerous). I own quite a few internet video marketing tools such as Explaindio, Easy Sketch Pro, Simple Video Pro and Screenflow for Mac. Oodles of doodles, motion backgrounds, royalty free music, some DFY marketing videos for several niches, and a bunch of other "shiny objects"...
Throughout most of 2014, I was recovering from a bout with (Stage 3) colon cancer. During that period, in a brave effort to remain positive and maintain my sense of humor, I often joked with friends that "I was "planning to build an internet empire - as soon as the effect from the radiation and the chemotherapy drugs wear off." Actually, I was only half joking. My intention truly is to earn money online so I can work from anywhere in the world, visit friends, far away places and fulfill my bucket list. When I wrote this profile, the clock was only a few hours away from chiming in 2016… This is the year I finally begin to see results. [RIGHT?]
So, After spending most of 2014 - 2015 in bed studying and learning as much as I could about online video marketing, there are still a few missing pieces of the puzzle as to how all the parts work together. I know it's all very simple once you "see" it. Every once in a while, I have one of those "AHA!" moments. Always look forward to those.
But all of the best tools were useless without knowing how to apply those tools effectively. Many people have succeed online without owning any of the skills, apps or courses I have at my disposal. Finally, at the end of 2015, just before the New Year, I found my way here to Wealthy Affiliate University through a free email course from Ian Pribyl, know around here as Pribs.
Now that I've been here 3/4 of a year, I can honestly say my experiences here, and all of the available training is exactly what I had been looking for! Thanks to all the WA members who have contributed to make this site the amazing resource that it is.
There is one thing I would ask, now that the Stuff For Baby Boomers site matured enough to call it a "real" website - please visit and leave a comment somewhere. There is a comment box on almost every page, so if you read something that compels your to respond, by all means - I would love that.
In the meantime... I look forward to meeting, teaching and learning from many of you as time goes on!

Good morning Hal,
The bit about "shiny objects" is all Chinees to me, I do not know what it means. I got a computer end 2013 against my wish and will. I only used it for emails, photos and following Master classes and Summits on subjects I am interested in.I always say I belong to the hand written letter generation.
This week, in an English weekly on the Costa del Sol, came an article that the combination of virgin olive oil together with tomatoes is very beneficial in fighting Colon Cancer.This you find in the famous cold soup Gazpacho.
Scientists from the University of Almeria came with this news, it is the combination which does it.
I plan to write this as a post for one of my websites.
Thank you for the follow and good luck.
Regards, Taetske

This is awesome. I know I will definitely be trying that out. Just Great! I'm thinking Tony the Tiger right now. LOL! It just amazing the things that can be done. Keep up the awesome work. Donna
I forgot to ask you, Are you a die hard Eagles, Phillys, Flyers, and a Sixers Fan?

To be honest, I have to say, no. I like sports. Don't love them. My brother Elliot the sports fan got the Eagles football gene. I, being a musician, got the Eagle's Hotel California gene :-)
I moved out to Los Angeles in 1977 and lived there for 28 years. So, my allegiance to Philly's teams - not so much.

Hal,
Yes, I hear you. I like music much better also. I used to be a football fanatic but the Eagles always seem to get in the playoffs and then blow it. So I don't put much faith in them like I used to.
How did you like the snow??? Brrr?? Keep up the good work.

Greetings from New York!!!
I saw a comment of yours, and decided to follow you. I really respect how you took the time, when your body was experiencing something very traumatic, and used that time to strengthen your mind! Very inspiring indeed!
Hope to be part of your network Hal. May you have continued success!
P.S. That is one cute little doggie in your profile pic! Have you had him/her for a while; he/she looks as if they've been around for some time.

Luv it! Thank you so much for not only following me, but for taking that little side trip here to my profile page to introduce yourself.
That little doggie in the photo is Cooper. He's about 10 years old now, but I've had him since he was an 8 weeks young puppy. He's my lucky charm. He was curled up on the bed next to me through my entire ordeal when I was recovering from surgery and going through the whole ordeal.
At the moment, he's sound asleep on his doggie bed while I tend to my internet stuff.
I'll finish this on your profile page. Nice to meet you!

Cooper is a real cutie Hal.....it's funny, but he just has this look like he's been around for a while...that he's seen some things....dogs are the best, I miss not having one.
Well, it seems as if you're full steam ahead Hal!. Looking forward to being a part of your network, so now I'll be able to read your posts!
Give Cooper a hug for me please, and tell him he has a follower, lol!

Hi Hal
After receiving your comment, I had to read about you, and I am glad that I did.
I hope that the cancer is behind you now. I have cronic pain that I live with everyday, so I feel for anyone who is going through it in their own way.
I am very happy to meet you and I am sure that you enjoy WA just as much as I do.
I will be exciting and interesting to watch it all come together.
Take care and
Good Luck with your Success

I know we are supposed to keep it positive here but I just have to be honest here, man. Honestly? A Squatty Potty?
Anyone who would shell out 30 bucks for something so absurd has got to be the biggest mooche on the internet! when I first saw this, I thought to myself, you gotta be kidding me!
Are you for real! The advertisement is as gross as they come!
Man you ought to be ashamed of yourself for trying to push this crap!
But then I said, what the heck, money back guarantee, what do I have to lose?
I'll tell you what I had to lose....but not here. AS a colon cancer survivor, I can say this is the best 30 bucks I have ever spent. It feels a little weird at first because I am a little overweight but man, I know this sounds stupid, I love my squatty potty. Oh my gosh man, did I really say that?
Thanks again, Hal
