Holiday Safety Tip

With the Holiday season upon us, and peoples guards down, many of us become targets for vandals and criminals. Here's some holiday advice. I like to tell my 6 year old daughter that she should always be extra careful not to get hurt while she's having a good time. It's at these very moments that our guards can be caught down. Likewise, during the holiday season we're all caught up in the whirlwind of preparation, expectations, stress, fun, depression, etc.. we forget to pay attention to our environment and fall prey to those that take advantage of people. Don't forget that even though your having a good time you still need to pay attention to what's going on around you. That means that when you pull up to your house in your car, and it's dark out, take a look around before getting out, and arm yourself with something. Even if it's not mace or something intended for defense. Your keys for example. Or an umbrella. Just be aware of what's going on around you and be prepared and you'll avoid alot of potentially dangerous situations.

Why Daves Personal Safety Blog

Figured I'd write a bit about why I'm doing this thing in the first place. I created Daves Personal Safety Blog to compliment my website http://www.davesjoint.com/ . It's a way for me to communicate with my customers and get feedback on my site and the many products that we carry.
But what was the driving force behind davesjoint in the first place? Well, ever since getting a computer and going online about 5 years ago, I've been intrigued by the ecommerce field. I'm a Healthcare Profesional and have practiced as a Medical Technologist for 18 years at a well known Hospital on Long Island, New York. I have a wife and 6 year old daughter and struggle to provide for my little family just like everyone else. I've made a living in this field but really need to supplement my hard earned but low salary (like many other people in NY and accross this beautiful country we live in). Fortunately there are many things a hot blooded, capitalist can do in America to earn some extra money! And instead of getting a traditional second job at Starbucks I decided to explore non-traditional options.
I saw the huge potential in the online marketplace. I started looking in to what it would take to open up my own ecommerce website using a number of platforms, and decided on developing a website focusing on Personal Protective Devices, Personal Alarms of all kinds, and Mace Brand Products (which you can find on my site if you follow the link above). I love these products and really feel as though I'm helping people by selling these devices. I also love to give them as gifts to my friends and family. In a world where crime is really out of hand it's great to enable people to protect themelves and their loved ones. I found a great supplier and taught myself how to develop an online presence (including the development of this blog). I also have expanded into a diverse product line including Digital Gadgets, Digital Picture Frames, MP3 and MP4 Players, Personal DVD Players and much more!
