Just wanted to share my dinner with you guys over the internet, its one really REALLY big lobster (total of 4kgs).

This is a weird one and I don’t believe it has been done yet, but the idea is relatively basic and I couldn’t find any competitive advantage over existing tagging (based) websites. Either way, I felt it was a good idea at the time and I will now dispense this so that someone else can implement it. I only ask that you at least send me an email if you decide to take this idea as your owns. Don’t worry, I don’t want any money from you, I just want to know if it was successful or not, I wouldn’t mind if you gave me credit as we =). Read more »

I have noticed a significant drop in traffic after I started using the competitive ad filter to remove MFA (Made for adsense) ads from my website. To be exact, my revenue dropped by 90% per day, it affect the CTR as well as average CPC.

Little did I know that the exact opposite would happen. Read more »

The video below is of a speech made supposedly by Kurt Vonnegut at MIT, 1997. However it has been many people speculating that it was all fictionally made up by a Mary Schmich.
