New Blog – WordPress
Filed Under Technology | 2 Comments
I easily switched from bblog to WordPress with a script and some .htaccess tricks that made it so none of my links are broken. I’m liking the WordPress features and look much better.

Google Indexing Libraries Now
Filed Under Education and Love for Learning, Technology | Comments Off on Google Indexing Libraries Now
I’ve heard about Google indexing TV programs, now they’re indexing libraries. Think about the educational and business opportunities that this will create. All those works in the public domain, searched instantly online, free of charge. It’s a fun time to be alive.

What’s the power of a blog?
Filed Under Technology, Utah Real Estate | Comments Off on What’s the power of a blog?
Earlier this year, when considering buying a home in Utah, I posted a blog about an experience I had at a presentation about B.I.Y.D.S.. They offered to help me build my own house with tons of equity. It sounded very good but I wasn’t in a position to take their offer.
Later, Google did it’s job and my blog came to the top of the search results for BIYDS. That page began to draw traffic and Jeremy Firth commented on his horrible experience with BIYDS. ” Take it from one who knows: do NOT sign a contract with BIYDS. You will kick yourself every day after that.”
As others came, they commented. Steve said “I’m very glad I stubbled across your comments about BIYDS. I’ve been calling people and trying to get a feel for their company and system. I was literally hours away from signing with them.”
Now, I’m not speaking for or against any person or company, I’m just pointing out how powerful blogging can be to empower the people to inform themselves on decisions. I encourage anyone reading this to start a blog. There are a lot of free blog services out there.

BigZoo is going out of business?
Filed Under Business Ideas, Resources, Principles, etc., Technology | 2 Comments
I have used BigZoo since 2001, at an attractive $0.029 per minute. Though the quality wasn’t perfect, the service saved us quite a bit over those three years. They’ve announced they’re phasing out their service. We’ve been using Skpe a lot lately. Maybe we’ll switch completely to them.

Google – What makes it tick?
Filed Under Technology | Comments Off on Google – What makes it tick?
What Google has created and will yet create is awesome, in the true sense of the word.
Over 2000 PCs in a cluster and over 3000 clusters.
