I Dig it! I’m at a Starbucks in Homewood, IL and the wifi is up and running for free! This is pretty cool considering I wasn’t expecting it to be completely open. I am familiar with the new wifi program here, and to my understanding you need a Starbucks prepaid card and some money on it. You would then enter the number on the back of your card as your login ID and get 2 hours of free wifi or something like that. But here I am opening my macbook to check an email I had already downloaded when i see my mail.app refreshing and DLing more mail. Wow, I didn’t even have to log in! Refreshing, surprising, exciting and awesome, lets see how this works at other Starbucks now.

On the growing list of stuff I want to buy, this is realistic. Ok not at all necessary but defiantly a minor luxury I want. I know, why would you want a GPS device on you your bike, well, cause it’s cool! It is functional, really, it lets you look at the places you’ve trekked, see how hard you peddled and your heart rate. Again, I know i’m not lance armstrong, don’t really need these metrics for my workout. But damn if it isn’t cool as hell to see how fast your going and where you are on a cool little piece of technology I can take with me on my bike.  Can’t take my macbook on it, and since my iPhone fell into the toilet, I’m having serious withdrawal.

Ya, this douche trashed my friends website. 
The irony of search engine optimization 
 

The irony of search engine optimization

When I think of the word ‘optimized’ I think of other words like streamline, clean and efficient. But interestingly enough when you put the word ‘optimization’ after the words ’search’ and ‘engine’ something in the meaning gets lost in translation.

Why is it that when I am looking for professional services I usually have to start looking at the least relevant search results first for the good stuff?

I think the answer to this is plain and simple, “Search Engine Optimization”. Thats right, these sites are so clean, streamlined and efficient that Google says they are the best fit for the search. Lets take a look at a few.
So we do Web Design in Chicago, how bout we search “Chicago Web Design” in a Google search and see where we pop up against everyone else.

Do i hear the sound of some jealous douche, sucks he won’t be number 1 to google.
