Last Friday some friends and I took the dumbest road trip ever. We drove 6 hours to Alpine Valley Music Theater near Milwaukee, Wisconsin to catch a 2 hour Rage Against The Machine show, and then drove 6 hours straight back. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and the show was definitely [...]

I have this wicked cool device for my Big Green Egg (ceramic grill/smoker for you uninitiated people) that monitors and controls the pit and meat temperature for perfect low & slow cooks. I’m cooking a big fat pork butt for UFC 74 and I’ve got the Stoker hooked up. Check out the real-time temp: Here [...]

Yesterday I witnessed a pretty phenomenal panel at SES called “Are Paid Links Evil?” With a title like that, you know there is going to be some heat right off the bat. I wasn’t going to post at all, but I think I’ll throw my few cents in. First of all everyone on the panel [...]

I was just reading some news before crashing, when I made the mistake of clicking a Forbes.com link. The next thing that happened in my mind was the antagonizing feeling of annoyance that I had forgotten that Forbes.com has those stupid god damn pre-site interstitial-type splash-screen ads. After clicking “Skip this ad” I settled in [...]

Didn’t this cold-calling crap die in 2001? This is no better than viagra spam as far as I’m concerned. The link-exchange wall-of-shame: Hello, I came across your website today while looking for sites related to my website’s general theme, namely internet marketing and search engine optimization. I must say I really like your site and [...]

I woke up in quite a thick mental fog this morning after Kris & Robyn Jones’ beautiful Pepperwedding. Fortunately my phone rang and Brock Siegel, Pepperjam’s VP of Biz Dev, had just the cure: a few hours on the lake before catching my flight back to Minneapolis. As we cruised around the lake, Brock mentioned [...]

Arbitrage this. Arbitrage that. If you’re really cool, you call it “arb”. I’m sick and tired of seeing the word arbitrage every time someone makes a profit. It is especially prevalent and poorly used in the online marketing world. Arbitrage is the practice of buying and selling something when there is a price discrepancy between [...]

I finally pulled the trigger the other day and ordered a Squeezebox. I’ve had my eye on them for a long time, but for some reason I just never ordered one. Within 5 minutes of receiving it I had it configured and integrated into my network. By far the coolest feature of the Squeezebox though [...]

This video of Jim Cramer going ballistic about the Bear Sterns issue in the market last week is hilarious. This guy knows his stuff, and if you’ve ever seen his show you know how passionate he is. On this segment he goes absolutely off the handle and it’s awesome. Best quote: “You can’t even get [...]

I know, it has been weeks since I’ve blogged. We’ve been so busy with the AuctionAds sale I haven’t had time to rant on anything. I’ll see what I can do. If there’s something you’d like to see a blog post on, drop a comment or send me an email. Thanks Shoe for calling me [...]
