Why Google Voice is Totally Awesome
Ever since I got my Google Voice invite on July 8, 2009 - I've somewhat neglected it. About a year ago, a co-worker of mine told me about GrandCentral (now called Google Voice), and how cool it was - it's basically your own free phone number...

If You Can’t Write, then Don’t
I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry at this incredibly pathetic attempt to get people to click an ad. It’s quite possibly the worst PPC ad I’ve seen in a very long time, and you’ve probably come across it in the past week or so (it has been...

There’s No Such Thing as Unlimited Bandwidth
I think there’s some kind of law of physics that would better explain this, but there’s technically no such thing as “unlimited.” That goes especially for anything in the marketplace. If there’s one thing I never understood, it’s the phrases...

My Impression of Angela’s Backlinks
