My wife and I had a bit of an emotional situation last night as our ten-month-old son refused to go to sleep in his own crib. We comforted him and lulled him to sleep, but no sooner did we set him in his crib than he woke up crying. The situation wouldn’t have been so [...]
A good inbound links campaign should be rooted in generating reciprocal links with high-quality, high-relevance, non-competitive websites. These are the greatest value to your rankings. However, it is important not to neglect less rigorous methods of gaining inbound links. In the game on quantity versus quality, quality will usually win out, but it’s best to [...]
I suppose it’s just a risk of going online an interacting with other users. Some will invariably show how juvenile they are by spouting elitist insults and otherwise making jack-asses of themselves. It happens on World of Warcraft like anywhere else. You might ask an innocent but naive question only to have someone call you [...]
I was disappointed to find out today that my paychecks from now on won’t be as high as I was expecting. My company recently changed insurance carriers, with the promise of lower premiums, and thus higher pay. As it turns out, I was figuring the numbers wrong, so while my paycheck is higher than it [...]
Every time I look at my website, I keep thinking, “I can do better than this.” The site’s been through half a dozen full-scale redesigns already, but I keep returning to the conclusion that it just isn’t good enough.

In World of Warcraft, context is supplied by a number of factors, particularly server type, guilds, large-scale dungeons, [...]

I heard earlier this week that Hurricane Ophelia was heading up the coast toward my part of the US. I wasn’t concerned. After all, I’ve weathered several hurricanes in my life that were far worse than Ophelia. What’s more, they don’t tend to cause as much damage this far inland as they do on the [...]
Having already ventured through the Deadmines successfully, I decided to go back and see what all the fuss was about in the first place. After all, I had gone in to complete a gnome-only quest, but that ended after the dungeon’s second boss. And, of course, everyone else in the region seemed very interested in [...]
My employers came to me with a monumental problem this morning. The shopping center on their website had tens of thousands of products but not enough pictures to display for all of them. The site was going live by one o’clock and the gaps had to be filled. Of course, it fell to my department [...]
