  • 3 More Blog Optimization Routines

    Last month, Darren Rowse asked me to contribute a post to Problogger about methods to increase page loads. He gets a lot of questions from his community and he wanted someone who had some experience in the area to help out. I obliged. Please read it. I wanted to follow up that article with a…

  • What, Couldn't Make it to Pod/SearchCamp Philly?

    Why not” Here’s the scenario: Two and half hours away, dozens of very smart people were availing themselves to anyone with $21 interested in learning about podcasting, search engine marketing (SEM) and optimization (SEO) from 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday. Did I mention that it was only $21? And the organizers (bless their…

  • What Would the United States Do for Mexico?

    There was a massive earthquake in western Mexico and 200,000 people unfortunately, and tragically, died. In the wake of the tragedy, the nations of the world banded together to provide relief. China sent a ship with containers of goods such as tee-shirts, watches and electronic devices to help with cleanup and provide humanitarian relief. Great…

  • Technosailor Venture Files — Hello World!

    It was a fateful moment when I learned Aaron was looking for an entrepreneurship blogger. Pumped up after a day-full of Podcamp/Searchcamp Philly — drinking from the yet another firehose — I made the promise to myself: it was time to share my 20+ years as an entrepreneur. Blog I must. And lo! A light…

  • Movable Type to Catch up with WordPress on Sandbox

    Movable Type, tonight at midnight Pacific time, plans to release a Sandbox development plugin which separates markup from presentation and style in theme development.

The other day, I noted that Steve Fisher, who founded and really pushed Venture Files, has moved on to other things. Notably, he is one of the voices of Solutions are Power by Network Solutions. Ray contacted me after…

  • Stop hating on Comcast. Really.

    I’ll admit it. I’ve been guilty of being mean to the cable company. Which is surprising since I’ve spent most of my life around Cable, as the son of two former FCC attorneys and one who spent a good part of his career representing cable before the FCC. Bite the hand that feeds me? Nah.…

  • What Happens in Vegas… Has Yet to Be Determined

    Public Service announcement here (or something). Next week, I’ll be in Vegas starting on Wed night (9/17) and will be leaving the following Tuesday. I’ll be out there for Blog World Expo, my second such trip. Last year was so great that I decided I had to go back again this year. One of the…

You can keep up with him over at Network Solutions on their Solutions are Power…

  • Google Shiny is Not as Hot as You would Think

    Much has been said about Google Chrome Shiny this week. Google stormed the internet by announcing that they too had a browser that web users could be proud of. They claimed the best of all browsers while slipping in some legal language into the EULA that revoked privacy of user browsing data while using the…
