In March, I left my fairly awesome job working from home as a project manager to pursue entrepreneurship full time. My wife and I were almost done with our Web Technologies program at the local community college, and I’ve been doing websites for over 10 years. Both of us had experience with WordPress and customizing…
Every damn time. I get riled up to post a bunch and swear I’ll post more often… and then I don’t. Blogging regularly just isn’t for me I fear. I used to be really good and disciplined when it was for profit. Oh well. This site is free, and there’s no ads, so at least…
WARNING: Cheesy Holiday Sentimentality Ahead This year, I am really thankful. My life has essentially turned itself around from where I was in 2010. I have a roof over my head (even if it needs some work), two cats and a dog, and a beautiful woman that loves me and makes me happy in…
Just a quick update – I removed all the ads from the site, because F the police. No one was clicking on ads anyway, and if you’re like me you were probably running AdBlock and weren’t seeing them anyway. Might as well keep them out of the way. Since there’s no ads, there’s no sponsorship…
It’s 12/12/12 – ThinkGeek encourages us to go get a dozen doughnuts to celebrate, because the typical start-of-century repeated date convention won’t happen again until 2101 (when it’ll be 01/01/01 again, provided you abbreviate the year). So, given that the world doesn’t end on December 21st, 2012 (visit this link by NASA to see why it’s…
Got an email yesterday that Crucial has a 256 gigabyte (GB) Solid State Drive (SSD) on sale for $179.99 after a $32 rebate TODAY ONLY, August 24th. The drive is normally about $199 on Crucial’s website. Why should you upgrade to a solid state drive? A couple of reasons: No moving parts involved means the…
I’ve been back at blogging for a few weeks now (at the time of this writing) and already I’ve received an offer from a company to do a giveaway contest. I don’t know if my SEO (search engine optimization) voodoo is just that good, or if it’s from my tie-in with Google Adsense, but it’s…
Holy crap. I haven’t blogged here in forever. Or much of anywhere else either, really. There’s a reason for that – but I’ll get back to it later. If you ever used to read Raging Tech, you’ll know my site was full of sponsored reviews and contests and tech stuff. Then it just became a…
So, this week has kind of sucked for me, and I wanted to do something cool both for my readers and my Twitter followers and friends. This has NO sponsor tie-in, the money and mystery prize is coming straight from my pocket. Here’s the contest details: Contest ends at the end of the day on…
The financial crisis in the economy has some light at the end of the tunnel, at least for me. I realized today as I started to get a knot in my stomach about how tight things had become in my budget, that there’s plenty of hope and I’m not at all in a bad situation.…
