How many potential visits? No, really.

Anyone in search has undoubtedly done their fair share of keyword research.  It is our favorite, after all.  Isn’t it? I would also assume that anyone who has done keyword research has also come across the age old question: “How much traffic will this term get us?”  That is almost the whole reason for doing…

Really? Jigsaw Puzzles?

This, my largely overdue next blog post, is going to be a short one. Kim, my lovely girlfriend, had to work pretty much the whole weekend.  That’s a pretty common occurrence, but this weekend was just a little bit different. Normally I would spend pretty much the whole time geeking out on the laptop working,…

The planning posts, post?

I’ve been having a bit of a hard time keeping up with my blog for as long as it has been up (maybe you noticed). I think part of that stems from me not being terribly active on the web; despite the fact that I am literally on the web at least 50 hours/week.  Doesn’t…

Not taking DanReno.com down for development

So a few days ago, I was contemplating whether or not I should take down the site so I could spend time developing it into what I want. As I stated in my last post, my concerns with doing that were basically around my recent inactivity and how I wasn’t sure taking down the site…

It’s been a while… Big changes

There have been a lot of changes for me since my last post.

Killswitch Engage and Lamb of God – One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen

This is seriously the best show i’ve seen in a very long time. Maybe it had something to do with the thrill of it though. Because this is also the first time I didn’t have my tickets in advance. I had been wanting to go since I found out about it, but there was a…

I am a lover of the geek world. And I enjoy the finer things in life. Movies are an absolute passion of mine, but I also love music, cars, beer and wine. But I would have to say that knowledge is my ultimate passion. I am an information junky. The more techy/geeky goodness that I can get my hands on, the better. On my list of immediate goals is to get more active, both on and offline. Hope you enjoy my ramblings! Cheers
