SEO: How to do it?
January 31st, 2005 | Tags: Tech

Disclaimer: I’m paid to talk about Marqui in however manner I would like. I interviewed Stephen King, CEO of Marqui, last week. In it, he talks about the company’s success with SEO (search engine optimization). Also, Robin Good slashed and diced the company’s SEO white paper. Then, James Paden posted a comment in response to the [...]
Geeky Valentines
January 28th, 2005 | Tags: Tech

January is almost over already. Time to think ahead to Valentine’s Day and my daughter’s birthday. I didn’t get Paul a very romantic gift, but it is something he wanted. I’m afraid if I don’t give it to him soon, he’ll buy it on his own. I love this Geek Love Poem T-shirt. Something to make [...]
Booktastic!
January 28th, 2005 |

Just read an article about Booktastic!, a game for bookworms. I’m weak when it comes to books and games. Has anyone played this game? How was it? The game’s home page has links to the article I read in USA Today as well as others.

Talk with Stephen King of Marqui
January 25th, 2005 |

Disclaimer: I’m paid to talk about Marqui in however manner I would like. Stephen King, CEO of Marqui, took a moment to answer questions. And no, this is not the author of horror books. Ya’d be surprised how many Stephen Kings are out there. How did you decide to go into the CMS business? What is the [...]

Apostrophe Spaces
January 20th, 2005 | Tags: Writing

Teresa Gomez writes, “I have a question for you concerning the use of apostrophes. I was an English major in college and I even managed to graduate with a BA in English. However, my son is being taught in his 5th grade class that he must allow a space when writing a word [...]
Cure TODLIF Sickness

At the end of each day, I review my Palm’s to-do list. Instead of patting myself on the back for accomplishing several things during the day, I am overwhelmed with the rest of the list. Then again, when do I ever pat myself on the back? Rarely. If I so much sit down to watch a [...]
Lots of Marqui Activity
January 17th, 2005 | Tags: Marketing

The usual disclaimer: Marqui pays me to talk about them. OK, Nick. Mark this as read and move on. I learned from DL that Nick is ignoring the Marqui postings. I don’t hold it against him. He and everyone else has the right to decide what to read and not read. There’s been a flurry of activity [...]
