The Grove in Cheney WA – The Downside to Facebook Fan Pages for Businesses
I was browsing Facebook today and a post from my little sister Kelsey caught my attention. Kelsey is currently a student at Eastern Washington University. She lives off campus at a privately owned apartment complex called the Grove. The Grove is a new complex designed specifically for students. It includes a number amenities like tanning, [...]
Microsoft Windows 7 Party? Are you kidding me?
So I have seen lots of buzz this morning about the Windows 7 Party video and couldn’t help but chime in. Watching this video is worse than watching an infomercial at 3AM, when all you want to do is check out some Brady Bunch reruns but instead are forced to sit through some BS presentation [...]
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 [...]
LOOK! This article has social media in the title
This past week was a very busy one for me. I had an enormous amount of real work to do and unfortunately I am still not done. During my busy week, I got way behind on blog postings and even further behind on my Google reader. I got up at 4AM today, with the goal [...]

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 [...]
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

Could a Web Designer Marry an IE6 User?
To many of my regular readers, it is no secret that I recently got engaged. I am very excited to be getting married. Kayla, my fiancé, is a genuinely nice person who also happens to be smart, fun, and beautiful. In preparation for getting married we are doing pre-marital counseling. In pre-marital counseling hot topics [...]
Why the Internet is Winning – A Frustrating Trip to Barnes & Noble
Warning, this post really doesn’t provide any useful information. It is mostly a complaint about the lack of selection at my local Barnes & Noble. If you are bored or have no life read on. Otherwise I will have something more useful for you tomorrow! Yesterday, I went into Barnes & Noble armed with a [...]
