Search Engine Optimization has become one of the more recent hot topics in the web world, based around how high up a site appears in search results (namely Google). A lot of companies will pay insane amounts of money to make sure they show up. I believe that it’s best to leave it to organic growth, in the hopes that, by having people legitimately link to you, your ranking will rise. But...
Or so they say. Haven’t blogged in a while. Been too busy with life and everything. Then started working on my own theme for this blog, which is a sinkhole I always seem to dive in to. Then found a nice pretty theme online, loaded that up, loaded most of my regularly read blogs on the side, and poof… Here I am.
Haven’t posted in a while. Been busy in work, in life, and in other stuff…. Callwave asked me if I wanted to try out their new Vtxt feature. Callwave is a relatively new service that replaces your cell phone carrier’s existing voicemail, adding on e-mail/text message notification and web access.

I am someone who (I guess?) is lucky enough to have a very active and creative mind, and is always coming up with new “things.” A lot of it is crap. A lot of it is whack. But I believe the best thing I can do for the community is share my ideas. I...
Nothing better than making Hamentaschen on Purim. The tradition is to make and give gift baskets containing Hamentaschen (triangular filled cookies) to friends and family. So I made… and received. Now a kid on a diet has a counter full of cookies. Eeeks!

Reb Zusha was on his death bed, and tears were streaming down his face. “Why are you crying?” asked his disciples. “If God asks me why I wasn’t like Moses or Maimonides,” answered Reb Zusha, “I’ll say, I wasn’t blessed with that kind of leadership ability and wisdom.” But I’m afraid of another question,” continued Reb Zusha...
Everyone has a purpose in life. Perhaps yours is watching television.
David Letterman
US comedian & television host (1947 – )
What’s your purpose?
One thing I have found fascinating about the internet is that it is a way of bringing to light some of the most obscure and previously barely known artifacts. I saw this first on Amazon, which would carry not only the more popular books but also long-forgotten titles that you could not imagine were still in existence. The internet has become our new library, storing everything imaginable, even...
