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 [...]

First of all, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  I was lucky to enjoy two dinners today, one with my family and another with my sidekick and friends. Second, I know I’ve talked about Fight Club (and that’s a bad thing).  So, the day before launch I’d like to thank some friends that helped [...]

I couldn’t resist. You all know I develop for the iPhone as well as my “real job” – so here’s the predictable follow-up article for the color picker post below. Apple accepted it – nice. After presenting the color picker tool, I ported it to the iPhone. I thought it would be handy for client [...]

This morning started light. I blog, so I also read blogs. Sometime I cross a headline that makes my dog wonder what’s wrong with me as his ears perk up while I spontaneously bust out laughing. Two of them here. First was found by David Naylor and the headline is Great tits cope well with [...]

Most of my “regulars” here have a sense of my politics, so you won’t be surprised to see I’ve built a little WebApp for iPhones counting down to the exact time Barack Obama leaves the white house. Each time it’s loaded you’ll also get a comic, picture or joke taken from the web. Add it [...]

There’s nothing wrong with increasing traffic to a website by making it genuinely informative and sufficiently alluring to attract links from other websites and bloggers! I don’t decry the practice of boosting, I’M AN SEO! HOWEVER, I do object to the means that some firms and people use to achieve it. I’ve written on the [...]

We’ve all done it (I do it too often) but there’s a place for it. Don’t post when you’re angry. Forums are great places for “heated exchanges” (it actually brings in traffic) but in general, an angry post is usually something the author regrets. A personal blog is a place where you can be you, [...]

Before YouTube – Where in the world is Matt?” spread through the web in what may have been the first true viral video. Matt still travels, doin’ his funny dance at various locations.If you haven’t seen it, yes it’s on YouTube NOW – here’s what got him retired at age 20something.

I’d like to touch on the Indianapolis Board of Realtors (MIBOR) issue, where they have mislabeled Google as a scraper site, tomorrow on FrankySpeakingTV. The webcast is loosely centered around real estate but often deviates to other topics.  I’ll be a guest on the show talking about SEO. Combining real estate and SEO on this [...]

I can’t help it, I just feel the need to link to Chicago Northwest Suburbs Real Estate.  Silly active rain people.

So I was away for a few days. Yes, I was playing with my new toy. Go get your girly gooey gadget (I did) but don’t cry when you drop it – the scuffs and scratches may do just that! I KNOW! EVERYONE is blogging about the iPhone. I’m not. Yes, this device is wonderful [...]

Dang it’s late, need to sleep but first I checked some logs. I found some funny Google searches that hit a couple of my sites. Funny Search (didn’t remember typing this one) Very Funny Search – hope I don’t get in trouble. Hey, WHO would search that anyway!!? And the funniest of all – Read [...]
