Found this SUPER useful today when publishing a new WordPress installation where I needed very specific control over the content and the formatting and didn’t want any tricky paragraph tags added or removed based on the flow of the white space.

Susan Moskwa – Google+ – Some more follow-ups from questions asked at #SMX West: Q:….

Little nugget of gold here – Geo Sitemaps has been retired from support by Google. Interesting. Google was the only reason I put it in there, but its cool if it isn’t needed any more.

“Debug certificate expired” error in Eclipse Android plugins – Stack Overflow

“Debug certificate expired” error in Eclipse Android plugins – Stack Overflow.

It is amazing how incredibly useful posts like this can be for guys like me. Debug warning message was getting in my way – a quick google search takes me to stackoverflow.com and my problem is solved after a cursory skim of the page. Done. Love it. Takes 50 seconds to “Press This” to my wordpress and I never have to worry about this problem getting in my way again. Awesome. Love this workflow.

Moving from OpenDNS to Google DNS | DecisionStats

Moving from OpenDNS to Google DNS | DecisionStats.

Great little article. We use OpenDNS to protect from the trash of the internet. And to my knowledge, there is nothing like that with Google so there is the trade off between speed and protection.

Got ADB Much?

February 6th, 2012

Working much with ADB? I have been spending WAY TOO much time with it. It is the Android Debugging Bridge.

Some of the most useful features I have come across to get files moving around are these:

adb pull <remote file> <local file>

- and –

adb push <local file> <remote file>

Invaluable. Like FTP, but very fast and convenient. Hope that helps someone!

Facebook IPO highlights “The Hacker Way” – Feb. 1, 2012

Facebook IPO highlights “The Hacker Way” – Feb. 1, 2012.

“Done is better than perfect”. Hmm. Seems to fall in line with what I know from Guy Kawasaki. And I’ve heard many times the adage, “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough”. It sort of goes against the grain of engineers, but I think it represents someone who has the perspective of needing to keep pressing forward and to continue making money. Its wise, but it sounds reckless. I like it.

Marketing Adventure!

January 3rd, 2012

I have a few hobbies. One of them is Drag Racing. There are many facets to the sport I enjoy. One thing I enjoy is the competition. Right now I am competing in a contest that crosses the lines of Drag Racing and Motorsports Marketing. I am REALLY interested in this since I enjoy the internet side of marketing and this contest is inside that realm.

Here is the contest: http://alwaysachampion.com/

You can vote for our ride here: http://contest.alwaysachampion.com/contests/showentry/1011638

So the next big question is not only how to make sure my entry has the most votes, but how to drive traffic and keep interest in the Champion brand after the competition. Obviously we want to serve the client well, and that means giving them the biggest bang for the buck. It means doing simple things like putting the Champion branding on our hauler. Wearing Champion branded T-shirts or Polo shirts at every event we attend. Getting “hero cards” printed up that highlight the cross section of the brand and our operation. Other than making regular appearances in the winner’s circle, I think we are poised to drive traffic and energy toward the Champion brand. Now, we just need more votes! :)

I’ll be generating interest and attempting to drive more traffic over to alwaysachampion.com in order to prove that we are worthy and have their interests at heart. Watch for updates!
