In today’s economy, it’s hard to create a life for yourself based on a minimum wage job. Although the minimum wage was created to ensure a better life for Americans, it’s not always the exemplary choice in some people’s views. A great deal of Americans struggle to make minimum wage and barely make ends meet.

You need to send your boss the designs for the new company website. Normally you could just transfer these files over the company network or hand him a USB stick but he is traveling and needs those files within the hour. Time for plan C, you open your email and attach the designs. A box [...]

Does WordPress 2.5 Fix Google Cache Hack?

I have spent the past few months working on a very search centric CMS that I could offer clients, and use myself.  So the idea of upgrading my WordPress is something I didn’t want to deal with.  I admit that WordPress 2.5 looked to be a great step up, especially since I was 3 versions [...]

I'm an Online Marketing Hero

I learned a few weeks back that I was featured in the new book, Online Marketing Heroes.  I actually didn’t see a copy of the book until I was speaking at SXSW.  I have been trying to control my ego a bit after reading Eckhart Tolle, but I have to confess to liking the sight [...]

SXSW 2008 in Austin, TX.

Four years ago my friend Russ, who at the time worked for me, asked if the company could send him to SXSW.   After looking over the website I thought it seemed like a good show to attend myself.  I was growing tired of the industry shows like Ad:tech and Search Engine Strategies.  Plus, I [...]

EdNovember 11th, 2007


A couple days ago I got a comment here that Gamepal now owns Gamewar.com. I didn’t think much about it until “Margaret” posted a follow up comment directed at me denying the relationship. These comments came within a short time of me getting the Gamepal ”cease and desist” email. I know Gamepal reads my blog, and [...]

Gamepal threatens to sue me

I seem to be a lighting rod of litigation lately.  The latest stems from our friends at Gamepal who don’t like the fact that I have shared my experiences with their service. As some of you might recall, I used their service for a World of Warcraft account to level up a character for me. [...]

Banned from Chaotic Game

My son, who has spent the last few months getting excited about the Chaotic game, was banned from the game last week for trying to enter his cards.  I had ordered a big box of cards from eBay, including both starter decks and a case of 24 cards.  Part of the “fun” of the game [...]

The Gamepal Challenge

My documented experience with Gamepal is oddly the second most popular post on my blog. For those who don’t know, I hired Gamepal to power level my World of Warcraft character. I just didn’t have the time to keep up with the game and wanted to play with my son more. But instead of having [...]

Is YouTube the next Napster?

Even on the Web, few companies have exploded at the pace of YouTube. Started by a couple of Paypal employees with the dream of allowing everyone to share their thoughts through Flash video, YouTube has become one of the biggest sites on the Web. I recently watched the democratic debate on YouTube, and like man [...]
