Domain Name Plays

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

Lots of people out there looking to make it rich with domain names. While I think there is still money to be made spec’ing domain names, it is definitely not like it was back in the old days. I regsitered testyourself.com many years back to do “something” with. One day a guy offered me [...]

Where the Green Hats At?

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

Where oh where are the Green Hat SEOs at? I have been tired of hearing about the Black Hat SEO vs. White Hat SEO for a while now and have been planning Green Hat SEO for some time. Last night I finally made it around to registering it. Who is a Green Hat?

Big Brother *IS* Watching

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

Well, just in case you thought that the Google + Yahoo! and MSN Search Department of Justice Subpoenas were isolated cases…Informationweek apparently found out they weren’t.

Incorporating Any Site Into WordPress

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006

Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

Ok, so yesterday my new little USB GPS receiver shows up and of course I go into full geek mode. I pulled out the IBM X20 (the best thin-client laptop platform ever made IMHO) and plugged it in. I fired up MS AutoRoute 2006 and once I configured the GPS receiver with the software [...]
