Denny’s Still Blows: Ryan Stemkoski #FAIL
Some of you may remember way back in February I made a post about the big Denny’s free breakfast promotion announced during the Super Bowl. If you don’t remember that post, or would actually like to read it, click here. This is a follow up to that article so you might want to check it [...]
The SEO Rapper… Again
I am not a big YouTube person. Every once in awhile, I will watch something like Charlie the Unicorn or Lebron James high school highlight reels when I am super bored. Today I had a web developer friend send over a link to a video called Design Coding. Obviously, many of you beat me to [...]
Is it your fault if your clients suck at what they do?
Let me tell you a weird but funny story. (It’s worth reading, trust me) Over the weekend, I was chatting with a web developer friend of mine who shall remain nameless. For the sake of this post, we will call him Herman. Late Friday afternoon, Herman was working away in his office when he got [...]
Should I throw feces on them?
Clients are by far the most important ingredient to any successful interactive agency. Without clients, we would just be a group of Wii playing losers who spend their day trying to fill the time between Ellen and Judge Judy. I have heard too many times that clients are stupid. That is not true and I will tell you why.
An Iron-fisted Personal Development Policy
I have been thinking a lot lately about personal development. In a constantly evolving industry like web design, if you want to stay relevant, you need to stay current. Every day there is some new development, product release, or technique developed. If you don’t continue to learn, try, explore, and grow, eventually you will go [...]
What is so Hard About Writing Content?
The toughest part of any website project for us at Zipline is not the concept, it is not the sitemap, it is not the design, nor is it the programming. The most difficult part of any website project is obtaining content to put into the website. To be honest, at Zipline we’re not writers. I [...]
Have you Heard about Webmaster Radio?
I hadn’t, at least not until this morning. I came across a reference to WebmasterRadio.fm while reading my RSS reader. I don’t know how I missed something like this. I love listening to industry related information. Until this morning, I was content with my weekly BoagWorld podcast episode but it turns out there is an [...]
Denny’s Grand Slam Strikeout Promotion
Sorry my blog postings have come at odd times lately. Hopefully I will be back on schedule by Monday. I am not making any promises though, Kayla and I are babysitting all weekend for two little girls, one is 3 and the other is 8 months old. I love kids but I don’t have any [...]
My Agency has a Bigger Penis than Yours
Advertising agencies have always fascinated me. I don’t think there is any industry that spends more money trying to impress their competitors. Can you think of any other industry, other than the Hollywood film industry where there are so many meaningless awards? Many advertising agencies spend fortunes creating huge, lavish offices filled with $1500 desk [...]
