In Further Google PageRank Weirdness

Posted on December 19, 2007 - Filed Under Earning Online, Technology | 2 Comments

You probably haven’t heard of Subvert And Profit, but Google sure has. In fact Google seems to find them a pretty reliable source of information on the web as evidenced by the fact that the toolbar pagerank for subvertandprofit.com is a 4. That means that Google has more faith in Subvert and Profit then they ever did in Philaahzophy even before they decided I was untrustworthy because I get paid for posting my opinions.

What trustworthy information or service does Subvert and…

Ready To Get Out Of The IT Rat Race?

Posted on December 18, 2007 - Filed Under Education | Leave a Comment

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics three of the fastest growing occupations in America are network systems and data communications analysts, computer software engineers, and computer systems analysts, all of which generally require a bachelor’s degree (at least). Living in Silicon Valley I know dozens of folx with these skills and these degrees who are getting burned out on their jobs, but feel trapped due to the expertise and connections they’ve developed over the years. Well, capella university may…

How I Know I’m Still Passing PageRank

Posted on December 18, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Technology | 9 Comments

I was so excited in late October when I was finally given a Google PageRank of 3 here at Philaahzophy. Not only did this mean that I was doing a good job of building the blog into something worthwhile, but it also allowed me to earn more money advertising here. Then came the giant Googlesmack in mid-November. I was first dropped to a PR2, then all the way back down to PR0. This was even worse then being PR:N/A as it states that…

Researching European Travel 2.0

Posted on December 18, 2007 - Filed Under Travel | Leave a Comment

The internet is, by far, the easiest and most efficient method around for gathering information about a destination before a journey. As a result, there are probably a million or more websites out there dedicated to travel guides and reservations at this point, and each one is trying to differentiate itself from the others. While researching destinations in Scandinavia (Z and her friend K have expressed an interest in traveling there) I came across the Europe Hotel Guide at HotelsByCity.net. More…

Cancelling The Christmas Trip

Posted on December 17, 2007 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Road Trippin', Travel | Leave a Comment

It took me six months to plan it, three months to pay for it and less than a week to cancel it entirely, losing about $650 in the process. Here was the itinerary:

  1. 12/26 - Early morning pickup of Z, heading up to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo for a day of wild rides and coaster fun followed by an evening of watching Z ooh and ahh over the Holiday in the Park decor and the World’s Largest Christmas Tree. The…
