Well, I was wrong. When the contest began I threw out an article with a hottie real estate agent and she didn’t win – but I think she’s capable of finding employment. Eric Blackwell is at the top of the serp – congratulations Eric. Maybe after review another contestant will take the prize but Eric [...]

Though many have boycotted Qwest in the past, there’s even more to the reasoning than before. Sure, the former big-wig is now facing 190 years in prison, but that doesn’t help us. Sure, Denver residents still have to put up with their over-sized neon blue sign on our tallest building. BUT, you shouldn’t boycott them [...]

Consumers are, well, consumed – thinking that a little number up in the Google Toolbar is the end-all and be-all of a website’s success. Few SEO’s regard it as anything but a “foolbar” of sorts. I get all kinds of silly rants like “but it’s a pr3, why is that pr2 doing so well” while [...]

Business does not drive the web, people do. Most businesses miss this, and in part, what I believe, contributed to the Dot.com implosion. Companies saw the web only as a new marketing opportunity to sell more widgets. While companies were pushing out their brochure-ware, the people – not customers or consumers, but the people saw [...]

For those who groan at braggadociuos posts just move on. (Most likely to a different site) Several days ago I threw up a video on Denver in 3D using Google Earth. Coincidentally, I experienced the same thing personally yesterday. Yes, this is skite, but there’s nothing like being picked up in a helicopter by a [...]

I was asked recently by a company if it were possible to build a simple web app to display the images from their web cameras to an iPhone web app so the employer could watch his property while away via his iPhone. It really is simple, I built a quick web app using the Knox [...]

You’ve heard it, you wonder what it is, yet you don’t ask. (I understand, you would sound silly) Web 2.0 is a new animal, a new kind of web build – a new experience. Wikipedia defines Web 2.0 as a “second generation of services available over the World Wide Web that lets people collaborate and [...]

Those that follow me on Twitter know I don’t use it to advertise.  I don’t shout out “What I’m doing” very often or take irrelevant pictures of my food.  Instead, and to the annoyance of some that will not follow me after learning this (and I’m fine with that), I use it to talk WITH [...]

I like to make it easy for my readers to notice instantly if I have a new post upon visiting my blogs. Using avatars is a way. I like to make them somewhat attention grabbing. Immediately readers see there’s something new. I’ve been asked where I find them. All over! Over time I’ve built up [...]

I have some awesome friends.  So I titled this awesome post as “Awesomness” – simply becasue that’s the best way to describe them.  Thank you all – you are awesomness.

First of all, the iPad is NOT just a big iPhone as droid fans and those who don’t have an iPad may say. This device, with a few apps and familiarity with the iPhone interface is closer to a laptop (for me) than it is any smartphone. To evaluate it and see if it’s a [...]

Leadership Made Simple was launched on Amazon today and has made #2 on the Movers and Shakers List! Correction – it’s now #1 as I check right now. Congratulations Ed! The book was written by Ed Oakley (he says by his clients) and includes over 18 years of experience and 40 examples of how Ed’s [...]
