Finally Back from the Dead or Should I say Flu

Anthony Bourdain, Apizza Scholls, Voodoo Doughnut, and the Flu

Merry Christmas to All from the Costco Christmas Singer

Sometimes the Best Marketing isn’t Planned – It is Spontaneous and Comes from the Heart

Technorati Blog Claim Update

Technorati is Just Too Busy or Just Too Important to Even Send Me a Real email

As you probably know by now, back in July on the 29th, I tried to claim my blog in Technorati. This has turned out to be a project rather than a simple event. So far I don’t own my own blog and I haven’t placed the code “fcayphqgb7″ necessary to prove that I own my blog on it.
(Post from Search Engine Optimizician.)
I even titled a post with the verification number “fcayphqgb7″ and that didn’t even work. The site still tells me they cant find the verification number.

In my post yesterday I touted the ease of claiming my blog with Technorati. It appears as though I spoke too soon.
I claimed my blog all right but they can’t find the code they gave me.

Web 2.0 – Beautiful View of Mt Shasta

Web 2.0 Expo is Now Underway!

Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco began today and SEOPDX is here.

On the way down today from an overnight stay in Medford, Oregon we saw a beautiful view of Mt Shasta. I had to pull over and set up the camera to catch such a spectacular sight. So here it is.

Just a little bit of snow shuts me down!

When I got up this morning the ground was covered with a fresh blanket of clean white snow. (I’m not talking about Aurora Snow that was another post.) I had plans on heading out to Beaverton this morning. The trek to would have included a trip over the Sylvan Pass. This Sylvan Pass is known for gathering large amounts of snow even when everything else is passable. Did I make it?
