Another Boring Super Bowl
Fans of football living outside the northeast are not Patriot nor Giant fans. In my opinion, neither team has anything to make me cheer for them.
I still have zero respect for Eli Manning after the stunt he pulled in the ‘04 draft. All of San Diego still hates you. Stop being a little bitch (http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20050925/news_1s25nflcol.html). I can’t hate on the...

Spotify to Take Over the World
I haven’t heard hype like this since, well let’s be honest: Google+ last week. This applies to anyone who has ever used iTunes, Amazon MP3, Grooveshark, or Pandora (aka everyone with internet access). Spotify took off in Europe over the past few years and “revolutionized” their music business and now it is expanding to the US.
It offers features such as:

Guilty Until Proven Innocent
I took this problem with me through the night and it is still bothering me. I am all for protecting intelligent and creative work from being stolen but the DMCA is taking things way too far. They feel the need to be omnipresent in everything on the internet. In their eyes, it is better to penalize innocent people than let perpetrators get away with copyright infringements. Their system needs to be...

Cud Life Tour Setlist
You know that guy at the concerts, the one who knows all the lyrics to every song. For the first time in my life, I am going to be that guy. Cudi is one of my favorite artists and since I have been following him since his start, I know his comprehensive catalog. With the help of setlist.fm and YouTube, I have a compiled list of what I believe his Atlanta show will contain.

If you are someone who has videos on Youtube, you need the learn how to optimize your video to...

The Art of Wasting Time
I was raised on using hard work to achieve my goals. It was the way of my parents’ generation. However, in the time of Web 2.0, hard work is being quickly replaced by efficient work. Tim Ferriss wrote a book about it and became a New York Times bestseller. People now look for ways to put forth minimal effort for sufficient results. In economic terms, we work until the marginal benefit...

Google Panda: Turning SEOs to "Web Strategists"
In March, Google implemented a new search algorithm called Google Panda and it is driving SEOs crazy. Created by Navneet Panda, it ranks websites for a Google query based more on user experience (UX) than keyword spamming. It sounds like a great way to remove spam like sites from the first page of Google but it’s current implementation has some major drawbacks.
Let’s first see how...

Bold title… I know. I’m referring to their advertising programs.
As mentioned in earlier posts, I’ve been at arms with Google regarding AdWords. It’s awful. It truly is. After denying numerous ads of mine for false reasons and many calls to their support team, I finally got an ad up and running. It went smoothly but I was really just testing the waters. I wasn’t so...

More SEO: SiteMap
From my research, I have learned that sitemaps, whether they be html or xlm, are extremely beneficial to your site’s SEO. They are considered outdated from a user standpoint but they are right up the Google crawlers’ alley. Even Google’s webmaster suggests this (even though they do their best to keep their search algorithm hidden).
Here’s a good way to go about doing it:

Is the Pandora IPO "too good to be true"?
Numerous articles are calling June 15th a day to go down in history. Is it the start of the Internet Bubble 2.0? Pandora (ticker “P”) went public today valued at $3.6 Billion. It’s some 14 million shares were sold for $20 at the opening of trade today. People who owned shares were jumping for joy and people who didn’t own shares were kicking themselves when the stock rose...

“A shortcut to customer and co-worker intimacy is to respond in real time. A phone call is more human than an email, a personal meeting has more impact than a letter.
On the other hand, when you do your work on someone else’s schedule, your productivity plummets, because you are responding to the urgent, not the important, and your rhythm is shot.
The shortcut analysis, it seems...
New to SEO
SEO is Search Engine Optimizations and is simply getting your website as high up on Google’s list as possible. I say Google as if it is the only search engine (it gets about 80% of all search engine traffic) but it works for Bing, Yahoo, and Ask as well. For an in-depth look at it, I recommend reading this.
I have a basic knowledge of the concept which brings me to the point of this post. I...

I opened this Tumblr as a means of communicating myself to the outside world via the internet. I’ve never been a fan of sharing my innermost thoughts, as you can probably tell by my twitter (still figuring that one out). I’d rather share personal stories, internet articles, etc. that I believe will benefit you...
