Today I took the day off and Christi and I took Lily to Nickelodeon Universe in the Mall of America to have some fun. We had unlimited ride wristbands and we were taking advantage of the day. Lily loved the rides. We went on quite a few junior rides as she is only 4, but […]

Finally. A site re-design.
I’ve been meaning to re-design my site for some time now but it just hasn’t happened. However, that ends today. I’ve re-launched with a whole new theme thanks to Alexander Agnarson. What? You installed a theme?! I thought you were a WordPress developer! It’s true, this is the first time I’ve ever gone with a […]
I’m always productive when I should be sleeping.
It amazes me how long I can sit at my computer and get nothing done. However, as soon as the clock hits 10pm, I start getting productive. Just tonight I replaced all the social sharing buttons on my site, fixed the missing author bio on photo pages, fixed the missing ‘Filed Under’ label, added a […]
I made it onto Mashable’s 12 Perfectly Pun-derful Costume Ideas list.
I got a Facebook message asking me if I was on Mashable today. Much to my surprise, I was. A few years ago I dressed up as a Black Eyed Pea for Halloween. It wasn’t much for a costume, but someone over at Mashable liked it. Thanks! Check out Mashable’s 12 Perfectly Pun-derful Costume Ideas.
Time for a redesign.
It’s time to start thinking of what’s next for my blog. I want something new but I’m not sure what. I like to do design but I’m no graphic designer. So, what’s next?
A piece of the Google puzzle?
As I’ve been watching my analytics, waiting for them to go back up, I noticed another big dip this weekend. Down to the lowest numbers I’ve seen ever for my site. 🙁 Now, I’ve only done two things recently: Updated my iTunes affiliate links to remove the link network links and add direct links to […]
Saving Money and Manning My Own Server. It’s Easier Than You Think.
I now manage a web server and I still don’t have a clue what’s going on. Who wants cheap hosting? Most everyone does. That’s why we look at Dreamhost, Bluehost, or one of the thousands others that offer dirt cheap plans. The problem with these types of setups is that you’re on a shared server. […]
I got dumped by Google. Now what?
I can still remember when Google and I were BFFs. I spent my time creating content and feeding Google. In return, Google sent me traffic. We were both happy and things were good. Then, without notice, Google dumped me. Now I didn’t cheat on Google and I wasn’t doing spammy things behind their back. I […]
I’m now a parent of a 4 year old!
Happy Birthday to my little girl Lily. You’re growing up too fast, but it’s so much fun. To celebrate, we’ve been having a lot of fun. Over the weekend went to the beach, had a picnic, flew a kite, and even borrowed a bounce house from a friend. Today Lily is going fishing and eating birthday […]
Get rid of creeping charlie with a metal rake.
Do you have creeping charlie in your yard? It sucks. Not only does it take over everything but it also is a big pain in the butt to kill off. We’ve found some weed killers that did some damage, but nothing that has killed it off. However, I did just find a way to rip […]
