Off to San Jose

  • 7 Aug, 2005

I’m off to my first conference, Search Engine Strategies Summer 2005 in San Jose. I’ll get to learn more about search engine marketing & optimization. Should be a lot of fun. Especially the Yahoo’s Search Night Off where we get to go to Paramount’s Great America and Google’s party; GoogleDance. I’ll be learning a lot […]

Target Aquatennial Fireworks

  • 24 Jul, 2005

Last night was the 2005 Aquatennial Fireworks sponsored by Target. Once again the show was spectacular and didn’t disappoint. Supposedly it’s the 4th largest fireworks show in the nation. You can see all my photos over at my Target Fireworks Flickr page.

The New Definition of Creativity

  • 15 Jul, 2005

A coworker and I went to the Battle for the HeArt last night in downtown Minneapolis and it was great. It was all about defining a new type of creativity because what was working, no longer is. People are blocking ads on the internet, switching channels during commercial breaks and not really paying that much […]

Introducing Chunk!

We got a new friend for our kitty. Ok, so our kitty doesn’t care for the new one yet, however, we hope they will get along in time. Chunk is a cute little 10-week old kitten. Originally found in Las Vegas, he made it’s way to the humane society in Golden Valley, MN with the […]

Help? Switch to Entourage?

  • 22 Jun, 2005

Call it a lap in judgment, or the curiosity that is eating me up, but I like trying new things and I’m considering trying Entourage*! This is big because I’m not a Microsoft fan. But Entourage is looking kinda nice. With mail, address book, calendar, appointments and notes all in one convent application, it’s just […]

Bonjour for Wireless Mac & PC Printing

  • 21 Jun, 2005

As we slowly set up the office area in the new place, I wanted to hook my printer up to print wirelessly since we have two computers. Now my printer is nice, but it’s not a network printer and I didn’t spend the extra $30 or so to get a wireless router with a USB […]

I’m testing out a new plugin called Spam Karma. I’ve been having good luck with Referrer Karma so I thought I’d try the spam version. Hope it works well. 🙂

Hank Hill Would Be Proud

  • 20 Jun, 2005

Yesterday we put together and fired up our gas grill. This is our first grill but not our first time at grilling. We got a nice Char-Broil grill to put out on our deck and it looks good and cooks great too. Now I just need to find some good grillin’ tips and recipes.

My Apologies to MacBytes Visitors

  • 9 Jun, 2005

How embarrassing. I got a link on a very popular Mac site, MacByes, and my referrer spam plugin blocked visitors form that site! I didn’t notice until this morning and I unblocked them ASAP. However, I’m afraid I may have turned some away without knowing it. I’m so sorry.

Rain, Wind and Garbage [updated]

  • 8 Jun, 2005

Big storms rolled though early this morning and brought with them a lot of excitement. The power flickered, we had pea sized hail, very strong winds and heavy rain. It rained so hard it was hard to see the neighbors house. Course we were worried about our garbage as it was on the curb for […]
