Of the 12 or so SEO related RSS feeds I read regularly, 9 of them have an article about the Google Pagerank pentalty in their last 10 entries. To all of them: STOP BITCHING ABOUT PAGERANK. Yes, Google lowered the pagerank of a variety of websites this month (mostly websites that buy and sell links) […]

I feel bad writing about this because of the past praise I’ve given to Craiglist, but it’s such a newsworthy item that I can’t really resist the urge. Last week a 24 year old woman answered a Craiglist ad for a nanny and was later found dead in the trunk of a car. That’s about […]

I’m thinking about purchasing a Mac this Friday, and I’ll still need some windows support on it so that I can run some of my developer apps (ok ok, starcraft and counterstrike) Anyway.. what’s better? VMware fusion or parallels, and why?

I was cleaning up my Gmail inbox today (it’s down to 115 unreplied messages now – not counting spam) and I got sidetracked and decided to break down my spam by time received. So far today (it’s only 11pm) I’ve received over 2500 spam messages. 1800 during the 7 hours I was asleep last night. […]
