Yep, you guessed it. I’m writing this WordPress post from the Windows Live Writer application. It came with a recent update I performed on my XP, vista and 7 machines. Windows Live Writer Blob Tutorial and How To I have to admit that Windows Live Writer is not too shabby at all. It’s super easy. [...]

Admob is a mobile advertising company I’ve been using for the last six months. It is the Adsense of mobile internet. Admob typically only approves publishers that have a mobile-compatible website (like this for example). Admob was recently acquired by Google. The FTC is now asking for more details on the acquisition, as Google is [...]
For those in the metropolitan area of Chicago, you probrably have riden the Metra Rail system at some time in your life. Well, you would imagine that could buy your tickets online and print them from home right? Nope. Well, not until today at least. Metra surprised the media yesterday by announcing their new $3 [...]

I’m really impressed with Google’s new product, Google Voice. Originally a company called Grand Central created the online tool in 2005. Google then purchased the company in 2007 and is now relaunching it with many, many improvements. Basically, Google Voice creates an “online phone number” that can be tied to as many phone numbers that [...]

It’s not like me to dedicate an entire post for the sole purpose of complaining. Wait, yes it is. The reason I’m taking time out of my life to flame Linkshare is because of their complete disregard for the quality of their system in its entirety. It’s a mouthful, but I can write something negative [...]
Sorry for the lack of posting. I’ll be short and just take this post to recommend a book I’ve been reading, titled ‘Predictably Irrational‘ (home page). The book basically covers a wide scope of consumer and social behavior. For example, every buyer decides whether or not to purchase something by weighing the positives and negatives. [...]
I thought that I might share with the world the online SEO tools that I use. Keep in mind that I use these A LOT. I use them A LOT because they’re USEFUL. They make me MONEY in other words. Keyword Research I use Google’s Adword’s keyword volume tool to look to see if a [...]

I’m all about major upgrades. Did you know that WordPress has received almost 2 Million downloads since 2.3 was released? WordPress is free, easy to use, but most important, stable. Since WordPress has become such a widely used Content Management System (CMS), the coders on the dark side are always trying to breach its security [...]
Today marks a new day in technology. The Federal Communications Commission announced that the auction for the 700mHz wireless spectrum has ended with the closing bid of $19.6 Billion.

HotOrNot.com sold for about $20 million the other day. Hot or Not has a great story. Basically 2 buddies built a site for fun where people could rate people based on their looks. They always had a moderation queue so they could weed out the pornography. The funny thing behind this is James’s parents were [...]
