For the past year or so, Adam and I have been focusing on TheBigFork.com, a site that allows you to find nearby restaurants.  While we have many new products in the works, the current source of revenue is advertising.  And as the site has been growing, the ad network best suited for us has been [...]

For the past couple months, I have been working on my shiny new guitar blog. I write about guitars, players, equipment, culture, picks… all the basics. If you are looking for a good site for guitar reviews, its a great choice. Is this post a shameless SEO push for my new site?  Yes it is. [...]

I have been building a lot of sites lately using WordPress. It has come along way since I started this blog 3 years ago- WordPress is now a full fledged content management system in its own right. Use it for a blog, or a small website. Or both. The sites I have been building are [...]

A year ago today I had a headache. A big one. This was low point in a continuous migraine that lasted about 5 months. As I was thinking about the whole experience, it occurred to me that I never blogged about the resolution. This might fill in the gaps for any friends that haven’t heard [...]

Yorn just released “The Break Up”.  It is a duets album featuring Scarlett Johansson.  Wait, she can sing?  I [...]

I just finished my exam to become a notary public.  I know, its prestigious.  (Who am I kidding!  Its a young man’s game!) I am always amazed at how poorly the government uses technology.  This is a great example: 1.  The test is online, unsupervised, but “closed book”. 2.  The test must be completed on [...]

I just read a brilliant commentary about the current state of US politics, and I couldn’t agree more. Its by Rudy Ruiz, and you can find it here. I tried to make this point a few months ago, but he does a better job. Our politics are becoming so polarized- not because of inherent differences [...]
