Thought I would put these up in case anyone with Vonage VOIP service was looking for Vonage diagnostic tests and tools. They have some beta diagnostic software available as well as a very cool broadband speed test and network status tool available online. I have always used Speakeasy’s broadband speed test in the past, [...]

I just logged into my Adsense account and noticed a new message saying my account has been chosen for the new Adsense Referrals 2.0 (yes, there are two r’s in referrals) Beta. Basically, it looks like Google is getting into the CPA game now. So, let’s see, they are in the CPC game, the [...]

I think I am late in the game on this one, but why have we (read: I) been linking to Technorati for so long? Back in the day, I believe they at least started linking out to other sites. I am sure they got gamed, well, I know they got gamed but, what is the [...]

I just read something really interesting and it is one of those things that makes you say, Duh.
U.S. Should Lead the World in Electricity and Fuel Diversity.
Sorry mom, but no shit.
