Hurricane Dean — Operation Mexico Cleanup (phase 1)
Unless your living under a rock, you have heard that Hurricane Dean is hitting the Yucatan peninsula right now (8/21/2007 early morning). It was a very strong storm, but land and hurricanes just don’t get along. The storm dropped from a central pressure of 906mb to 935mb in just three hours (from 5:00am to 8:00am [...]

Please be patient over the next couple of days if things get really screwed up when you’re trying to view this site. I’m going through my first attempt at developing a WordPress theme, and I’m sure there are plenty of things I’ve missed and will change. I’ve done a few things that I hope will [...]
My Newest Feed — MyBootsNMe
Although I encourage EVERYONE to subscribe to my RSS feed (it’s free after all), I’m generally pretty picky when choosing to subscribe to a blog. Yesterday was an exception. I came across MyBootsNMe and browsed a little. I was pretty impressed and subscribed immediately. Great photos, great writing, and a pleasure to read. Check it [...]
Free Market at Work in the Blogosphere

Part II (of many) on SEO, Google, and Content–Technology Moves, Build For Change
First of all, I can’t take credit for all of these ideas. Lot’s of them have been borrowed from guys like Steve Pavlina who are basically saying the same thing I am. One of the more important points Steve makes is that your content should be timeless. What he means by this is that if [...]
Part I (of many) on SEO, Google, and Content
I’ve been reading up a lot lately on Search Engine Optimization (SEO), marketing, monetizing a blog, sandboxes, traffic generation, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. From what I’ve read, what I feel in my gut, and what everything else I’ve done in life has taught me, I’ve come to a pretty simple conclusion–you gotta work [...]
I Called This One a Looooong Time Ago
Google entering the corporate software market. Actually this is a step toward what I’ve predicted will happen. Currently, Google’s model is to host all of the information on their site. Some companies will have an issue with this, which is reasonable. I’ve predicted Google’s ultimate objective will be to sell an appliance that runs inside the [...]
