IP Address - Chicken or Moan?
I have used IPChicken for several years to quickly figure out what my public facing IP address is. I know that isn't very geeky, but it is very "webby" - maybe I'm more of a webophile than a true geek. But enough of my self-analysis... for me it was all...
Creating an Online Presence is easy
I like the post Seth Godin made a few days ago: Memo to the very small . I, too, believe that we are in the midst of change. Well, at least it is much easier to create an online presence today than it ever has been - especially for those that are very...

How to judge a Web Shop by its cover

Want some alone time with one of the brightest new technology minds?
No, not me, silly! Seth Godin is offering a conference-call Q&A session on Friday, September 8th that will last "all day" if necessary. Rather than paying a fee to attend, he is asking that you buy 11 copies of his new book, small is the new big ...

An early review of Search Engine Optimization An Hour a Day
Last week I picked up a copy of Search Engine Optimization: An Hour a Day by Jennifer Grappone and Gradiva Couzin. I have a slight interest in SEO, however I try not to get drawn into it too much because it can really eat up your time and I prefer programming...
