Twittering Again

May 1, 2008

So, I’m twittering again. I tried it about six months ago, and it really only lasted for a weekend before I quit. I still don’t know that I totally get why Twitter has become so popular, but there are enough people who I respect and enjoy hearing from who are using it, I thought I’d [...]

Download TiVo Recordings to your Mac

April 30, 2008

TiVo has been a great thing over the past year since we’ve had it. It’s been great to be able to watch the shows/movies we want on our own schedule without the commercials. While I was skeptical that we were actually saving any time when we first got TiVo (because there was so much more [...]

A Month of Google Adsense

January 16, 2008

Just over one month ago, I decided to use Google AdSense to put some ads on this blog. Here are my thoughts:
Readership
I haven’t really noticed any negative effect on my readerships. In fact, my Feedburner numbers have gone up even higher (over 600 recently) and unique visitors to the site have stayed about the same. [...]

A few friends and I listened to Steve Jobs’s 2008 MacWorld Keynote earlier today (we actually found someone who was broadcasting the audio online). I was very excited for this, as we were hopefully going to be introduced to the rumored MacBook Air.

Steve Jobs’s 2008 MacWorld San Francisco Keynote address is just hour away now. It will take place at 9am Pacific on Tuesday, January 15th. I don’t know if anyone else is as excited about this keynote as I am, but Andrew just sent me a link to some pretty good predictions from Gizmodo. The thing [...]

Being StumbledUpon

December 16, 2007

This past week was apparently the right time to begin experimenting with AdSense ads. I think it was last Saturday, December 8th, someone linked my post about the Spinning Woman on StumbleUpon. As you can tell from my Mint stats, I normally receive around 900 unique hits and around 1800 total hits every day. However, [...]

Facebook loses the “is”

December 13, 2007

Adam is…happy, but confused. I joined the Facebook group that wanted Facebook to get rid of the “is” in their Status Updates. It felt so confining, so restricting
Well, we got what we asked for. And now…now I don’t know what to do. I feel like it’s going to take me twice as long to update [...]

Internet Explorer 6.0 Users: Upgrade Please

December 11, 2007

When I design sites for clients with Cleave Design, it’s my job to make sure that sites look right in a number of different browsers. Unfortunately, one of them is Internet Explorer 6.0. It’s one of the most annoying things as a designer/coder. I’ve been experimenting with some AdSense ads today, and I’m having some [...]

Some of you may have noticed there are now some AdSense ads on this site. If you only read the blog through RSS feeds, come check out the ads. I’ve gone back and forth about pursuing ways of monetizing this site. I have used Text Link Ads for quite awhile, but the most I’ve made [...]
