I Want An iPhone

The iPhone comes out this Friday, the 29th. I was at the MacWorld Expo keynote in January when Steve Jobs announced the revolutionary phone/iPod/Internet device and I was very excited to see it. I’ve thought about it quite a bit because my current Verizon contract isn’t up until February, so if I did get one, [...]

claimID

claimID.com is a neat service for keeping track of online info and sites. My claimID. (via Alex)

OpenDNS Preferences

I’ve been using OpenDNS for months now and it’s great. Today they launched My Account, which gives more control and eventually stats.

Free DNS from OpenDNS

I’m testing out OpenDNS here at work on my main computer. I’ll try out any service to replace something on our network. In testing the past couple of minutes some web pages seem to load faster and some slower. I’ll also be setting it up at home to see how it performs. Time will tell. [...]

No WWW

I posted a couple of months ago about dropping the www from URLs and have been a supporter of it for much longer. All of my sites have been www free for as long as I can remember. The www.xxxx.com URLs will redirect to the one without www. If you’re using WordPress and have been [...]

Address Bar Removal

Why in the world do web browsers give an option to turn off the address/location bar?

Websites as Graphs

Kind of cool to view your website as a graph of colored, connected dots representing the various HTML entities. Make your own at Websites as graphs. (via)

Blinksale

Two weeks ago I wrote over at NICKED Up about using Blinksale for invoicing, but wanted to make mention of it here as well where I think I have a few more readers. Let me tell you…Blinksale kicks ass!
The easiest way to send invoices online.

I’ve had a chance to really get my hands dirty in [...]

Drop the WWW

Isn’t it time everyone drop the www? Or at least stop requiring it for your site to work. All of my sites work if you type in www.domain.com or simply domain.com. In fact, if you type in the www, I have the .htaccess files set to send a redirect. Try it out…you won’t get to [...]

Interesting Site Ideas

Some of the ideas people come up with to make money from web sites is always interesting to me. Some of my favorite off the wall ideas in the past year or two were Save Toby and Million Dollar Homepage. My friend Jere recently sent me a link to Husband on Strike and I happened [...]

Feeding Readers With a Feed Reader

I’ve been using FeedLounge as my feed reading service since I was accepted into their alpha (or was it beta) phase months ago. It’s a great service and I was happy with it. When they came out of alpha and beta tests I was given 2 free months of service. That went by and I [...]

ESPN Insider

Does anyone really pay for an ESPN Insider subscription? More and more articles and features are being flagged with the little IN icon at ESPN.com and it’s pissing me off. As if I don’t pay enough to get their stations on cable, they want me to pay to read their web site now. I refuse.

Hamachi

I had first ready about Hamachi a few months ago on Bryan’s site and finally got around to trying it out this weekend. It’s one slick piece of software. Much easier than setting up a VPN and all that junk.
With Hamachi you can organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own [...]

Performancing Metrics

Performancing came out with a free public beta of a blog tracking service earlier this week, called Performancing Metrics. I haven’t used it a very much yet, but it looks very promising. Most statistics services and packages are bloated with useless data. PM gives bloggers access to the data they’ll need most often and it [...]

Sending Large Files

YouSendIt is an online service which allows you to send large files (up to 1 GB) to other people. No need to worry about email size restrictions or have a special FTP account. This will come in handy at work the next time I get a call about sharing a large file. They even have [...]

Launching NICKED Up

I just launched NICKED Up, which will be a type of “home base” for the network of blogs that I run. For full details visit the first post at the new site, titled This is NICKED Up. I’ve closed comments on this post at MDV in order to keep all comments over there.

Poker Chip Tricks Store

Poker Chip Tricks has opened an online store.

Golden Ticket

I received the Golden Ticket in my Inbox just a few minutes ago. Check out Nick Momrik on WordPress.com.

Rate The Stuff

Mo launched Rate The Stuff earlier this week. It’ll be interesting to see how the Yahoo ads do on the new site because each page will be so specific to a product. Early on, the ads are very focused, so my guess is that it’ll be a hit. Will RTS be able to survive with [...]

nofollow is BAD for the Internet

If you run a WordPress site, I highly suggest installing the Dofollow plugin. If you don’t, you’re hurting the legimate commenters on your site.
