Even More Annoying In Person

Here’s your chance to see me make a real fool of myself. Well, at least hear it. Newscoma and I are going to be on The DontGo Show tonight, 7 pm EST, discussing Newstechzilla. Thanks to BlueCollarMuse for giving us a whole hour to talk about our new project!!! This should be a blast! You [...]


So Close To Being Smart

I was really interested when I heard that it may have been a University of Tennessee student, David Kernell,  who was clever enough to “hack” into Sarah Palin’s Yahoo! mail account. But then there’s this… The hacker guessed that Alaska’s governor had met her husband in high school, and knew the Republican vice presidential candidate’s [...]


RSS Awareness Day

May 1st has been declared RSS Awareness Day by, uh, some folks who want to raise awareness about RSS. I was actually surprised to learn that only 5.4% of internet users are currently using RSS. I’m pretty vigilant about watching my subscriber numbers, so I would LOVE to increase RSS usage to somewhere closer to [...]


Speech to Text Software

We’ve been contemplating buying the Dragon NaturallySpeaking software so that The Missus can “write” content for our new project while holding a baby.  It would also be a lot easier for her to dictate everything–she’s an excellent speaker–as fast as she want to go.  I can go back in later and edit if needed, but [...]

My 2007 Year in Review

Ron Paul Blowback?

It was only a matter of time before “Ron Paul Blowback” would happen on the internet. TheWalk.com has this to say about people burying Ron Paul on Digg, just for the sake of burying him: It’s hard to believe that anyone would actively censor a guy who is already suppressed in every other media. This [...]

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 [...]
