Short blog post today. But once again, I was thinking… “What should I do with myself this weekend? What’s something both fun and geeky that would provide value for someone?” And it came to me: Finally wipe that horrible old paperweight of a desktop computer and turn it into a music server for the office!…
So I’ve been thinking. (I know, sounds dangerous — but I managed to not hurt myself) I am at a point where I feel like I really need to step up my game outside of work. That means getting better organized, getting more active in general (both on and offline), etc, etc. Well, as a…
My poor, poor blog. And I was on such a roll. Just wanted to pop in and say that things have kicked up quite a bit here in the past couple weeks, and I just haven’t had that much time for blogging. I have a few drafts in the works, however; but I just need…
I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while now, but just decided to make it an official part of my vision/mission for this site: Tutorials and Help articles. I suppose it really started with the Installing Rails on Ubuntu 9.10 post. So as I’ve been spending a lot of time looking for conclusive and…
I’m going build SEO Tools to save me from boredom! Ok ok, so I’m really not sure how much boredom this will really save me from (as I am incredibly busy these days), but this is definitely one more thing to add to my list of projects; and make a priority! A colleague of mine…
Recently I was asked what I know about optimizing video for organic search.

…Not Google Buzz. After hearing all about this crazy new thing, and not being able to play with it until an entire day after some of my colleagues, I am here to say that it really isn’t crazy/cool at all. Granted, I am VERY new to this whole thing, but my first experience gets me…
For all of you other WordPress geeks and theme whores (pardon my French) out there like me, I just have to make mention of something that is critically important: When changing themes, make SURE your web analytics tracking code is carried over. To give a wee-bit of insight, I learned this the hard way just…
I recently re-installed Ubuntu from scratch on a machine at home. The previous installation had been loaded with tons of cruft because of my haphazard installation of just about everything I could possibly try. One of those haphazard installations was Ruby on Rails. And as a haphazard installation implies, I had issues. Sadface. But as…
It seems to me that nowadays people are more focused on achieving good search engine rankings than ever; businesses in particular. “Well no shit, Shirlock,” some may say, but I’m serious. SEO has been established as an extremely feasible and relatively cheap way of getting more and/or new business. As a result, EVERYONE wants in….
