Gary, who operates the blog mrgarylee.com lives in California and I met him through the blogging scope of things. He used to be a comment whore just like myself on Johnchow.com, and we sort of hang out within the same ring of blogs so to speak. It’s one of the better blogs that I do visit on a regular basis (at least twice a week, which is quite a bit for my schedule! That says a lot), and his experience as a projecct manager for web marketing projects of various …

Tyler Cruz is a well-known blogger with a blog that is much more successful than mine (nearly 500 feedburner subscribers is what I saw). Tyler is a web-entrepreneur, as I’d like to put it. He owns websites, publishes his blog and some other content, and he also flips domains. He averages an average income of $256/day from his websites and what not. That’s pretty decent. That’s more than great, actually.
The world of business simply comes down to that – who is pulling in the dough, and he is – no …

By courtesy of a high-profile contact I have, I got approved for the Kontera Text Ads Program although my pageview threshold is below the minimum requirements. As you can see there are blue links being generated – apparantly this thing optimizes better over time, so it’ll take some time to work perfectly well, but it’s working now, and it makes my site look cool.
Although, some of the context links generated are total bogus, for example, this one that tells me to buy IE6 – it’s a free software anyhow.

In any …

Canon has a good reputation for good printers, although I stick with my Lexmark P6250, which is cheap, versatile, and gives me great value. All I ever do is print out documentation I need to read so I can read it on the bicycle at the gym, or print out invoices.
However, if you did want a high-quality printer, here’s a chance, because my friend Broc is holding a contest on his blog where you can enter to win this prize! You have a 1/500 chance to win, which is a …

When Google gives me a pagerank (which is expected to be updated in April, so I will finally be given a pagerank), they determine the quality of my outbound links as a factor.
So far, because my blog was so new and I’m such a nice guy, I just exchanged blog links with everybody who asked, basically. I had an interesting chat with John Chow today over lunch, and he pointed out a few things to me. When Google gives me a pagerank (which is expected to be updated in April, …

When I read through a magazine, I usually skim through it. I take a glance at this and that, read the bolder font here and there. When I find something catchy, then I’ll delve into the article. But even then, a lot of articles are skimmed over.
“In a recent survey, 3 out of 4 men answered that they feel vaguely uncomfortable when eating a banana in public.”

As far as I can remember, Robb DeVore was a guy who left some meaningful and encouraging comments on my blog, and I did my best to return the same favour. Many of you probably I’ve been posting, on average, once a day for the last few days which is very abnormal for me, and I’ve been kind of lazy on leaving him his well-deserved comments.
Robb and I are both in the web-design industry (or at least part of our businesses revolve around it) and we have a certain understanding …
