RSS (which stands for Really Simple Syndication) has become the new buzz word in SEO circles lately, as its effects on optimization success can be phenomenal. RSS is an XML format that allows any website to create a content feed that can be automatically checked by end user aggregation utilities, typically news readers. Files of [...]
Fridays are great and Mondays suck, or so the popular opinion goes. I tend to agree, although I fully realize that the weekend is the only real factor here. Work is, well, work, and free time is better. I’d much rather be spending time with my family, playing a game, or working on one of [...]
Strangely enough, most of my favorite games come from the same genre, namely, Final Fantasy. Why Final Fantasy, you ask? Well, it’s partly to do with the fact that I love RPG’s. It’s mainly on the games’ own merits, though. These are the superb paragons of video game design. I only hope that one day [...]
I just finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Is it just me, or just J. K. Rowling just keep making the story darker and darker? I mean, the book began as a story for young children, and now it’s full of death, monsters, dark magic, undead, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy it [...]
Yesterday around 9:00 pm, when I was finally able to trudge toward my car from a long day of work, the only thing on my mind was spending a little time with my wife and son before I passed out from exhaustion. I didn’t get very much of that, unfortunately, but I did manage to [...]

My recent experiences have made me seriously question the differences between a boss and a leader. I seem to have both at my job, seeing as I answer to no fewer than four superiors. However, I feel differently about each of them. I don’t mind taking orders from some of them, but others I loathe [...]
A phenomenon has been touted in the SEO community lately that is described as a site’s Long Tail. Specifically, this refers to the thousands of unoptimized key terms that lead users to a website. Such terms are usually passed over for optimization simply because they are individually low-traffic or overly specific. However, it has been [...]
This is a saying that I coined when I first started my job as a web developer. I am often asked to perform some mindless, tedious, or ultimately unnecessary task on the whim of one of my superiors. It has become clear to me that many of them know very little about the long-term results [...]
Alderin took a deep swig of his mead, mustering up his courage. He was accustomed to facing giants, demons, undead, and the like. In fact, after being bitten in half by a dragon, most combat seemed reasonably sedate to him. No, he was about to do something that made him more fearful than any monster [...]
