The Ticket Scalping … er … Reselling Experiment
Posted on January 30, 2008 - Filed Under Earning Offline | Leave a Comment
One of the money making opportunities I’ve been intending to explore for sometime is the controversial world of scalping reselling concert and event tickets. When I was homeless in the 90s one of the ways I’d earn money was to sit on line for ticket resellers in order to help them get around the 4 tickets per person limit for big events. I was sleeping on sidewalks anyway, so why not do so somewhere I was not going to get hassled…
Stock Research Even I Can Understand
Posted on January 30, 2008 - Filed Under Personal Finance, Reviews | Leave a Comment
I’ve written a few times about my ignorance of the stock market. It’s not that I don’t understand how it actually works, but rather I’m always stuck with a single question: Which stocks to buy? I’ve read and heard plenty of stories of people making money in the stock market. But those don’t really help me without a time machine. What I need to know is what the experts are doing right now, so I can follow along with them in…
I HATE Being Sick!
Posted on January 29, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz | Leave a Comment
Considering how little care I take of myself I’m actually sick pretty rarely. But when I am, it’s usually a doozy. Last Tuesday I started to feel sick, so decided to head things off at the pass and stay in bed on Wednesday. Well, that didn’t work and I ended up getting hardcore sick by Wednesday night. This led to spending the bulk of Thursday thru Monday laying in bed, trying to recover. Although I couldn’t post here (my delusionary…
Actual Proof We’re Still Passing PageRank
Posted on January 25, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging | Leave a Comment
It was almost exactly one month ago that I discovered I was still passing PageRank despite being Googlesmacked for writing paid posts. A Google employee was quick to jump into the comments and inform me that I was completely wrong. I had neither the knowledge nor the resources to run a genuine experiment, but luckily Brian Combs of Apogee Search does and he did just that. You can read his results in his blog post: PayPerPost Blog Links Still Impact Google…

Man, Those Sploggers Are FAST!

Last night we converted Z’s website into a Wordpress-powered blog named Butterfly Diaries. This happened roughly around 8pm. At 9:02pm she published her first real post directly to the blog: And They’re Off… At 9:44pm she received her very first comment. Actually it was a pingback, but she didn’t even know the difference yet. A splogger over at the bizzarely named Cardgames collection cards grabbed a portion of her post about spending the day at the racetrack.
I’m shocked! This was less than…
