Twitter rich115’s Recently Played TracksI had a look at Recommendation Ventures adwords today, and noticed a campaign optimizer. It made sense to give it a run to see what advice Google could give me to improve my return on the investment.
To my surprise, Google recommends that I add the keyword “emergencyporn” to my campaign.
Anyone know why?

I’ve been buying products online for over a decade, and fortunately have had very few instances of bad service. However, a few weeks ago I decided to print a t-shirt for an episode of Scouta TV. I spent 30 minutes whipping together a fun design, and then searched for an Australian online print service.

Last year we hosted Perth’s first, which turned out to be very successful: over 60 people converged on eCentral TAFE to talk, present, and brainstorm a range of topics.

I stopped using a news aggregator (RSS reader) a month or so ago. It was refreshing to let go of a daily routine that I’m not sure accomplished much.

Completed the Bridges Fun Run today. I was expecting a better time, mostly because it looks like I need to re-calibrate my Nike+ setup. The above run was 10KM, not 11.
Even though it’s inaccurate, Nike+ also tells me I’ve run more that a 1000KMs since I bought it in November 2006. Although it’s probably out, [...]

I’ve noticed a massive influx of people on Twitter again this last week. Grum has a feeling that it’s because of the after-SXSW-glow: a bunch of press about the event has highlighted Twitter again. So we have another wave of people “following.” But it’s got me thinking, how to I decide who to “follow” in [...]

6 years ago today I launched my blog.
Technically this is not my first weblog, because I did start an anonymous one in 1997. But the word weblog hadn’t been coined, and my first one is now just a bunch of empty bits floating around the ether.
