Looking For Royalty Free Photos With Free Bandwidth?

Posted on November 21, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Technology | Leave a Comment

Blog Pictures | acobox.com Earlier this year I started making a concerted effort to include more photos here at Philaahzophy.  I did so not only because I started taking more photos in my personal life, but also because I had read that blog posts with images are more widely appreciated by blog readers at large.  Well, I’m certainly not ready to say that it was putting in the photos that made the difference, but I can attest to the fact that my traffic has increased dramatically…

Road Trip Essentials - A Working Flashlight

Posted on November 18, 2008 - Filed Under Road Trippin' | Leave a Comment

Okay, we weren’t actually on a road trip at the time, but we were in Rover (our car) and we were watching a movie about Africa (Madagascar: Back 2 Africa at the drive-in), so that’s kind of a road trip, right?  Anyway, it became clear to us, once again, that we seriously need a better flashlight in Rover.  Dome lights only go so far, headlights aren’t directional, and neither works should your battery go dead.

This was, at least, the third or fourth time we’ve…

Sometimes, I Just Wanna Be A Normal Dad

Posted on November 11, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Shopping | Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago a friend of Zaira’s accompanied us to Fright Fest at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.  On the two hour drive to Vallejo her friend commented that I was “not like any other Dad [she] know[s]“.  Z assures me that this was a compliment - I tend to be: more involved in her life than her friend’s fathers; far goofier than most other parents she’s met (singing to songs on the radio, naming my car, character hunting at…

Posted on April 30, 2008 - Filed Under Technology | 1 Comment

Did you ever think you’d like pop-ups? Me either, but now I love ‘em!
Facebookpopsuite Of course, I’m not talking about popup ads that invade your web browser while surfing the web. No, I mean the popSuite from GoPoint that has finally made my laptop usable. I was pretty late adopting laptop technology because as they were becoming ‘affordable’ to most of society I was living on the streets or just recovering, so they were anything but affordable to me. Once I got…

Taking A Deeper Look At SocialSpark

Posted on April 20, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write | Leave a Comment

A few days ago I wrote about what a great opportunity SocialSpark is for parent bloggers. Well, I’ve been using SocialSpark for a few weeks now and I thought y’all might want a closer look at what SocialSpark provides.

The Basics-
SocialSpark

  • Unlike previous systems every link from SocialSpark is a search engine friendly “no follow” link.
  • In-post disclosure of the paid status of a blog post is required for every single sponsored post…

Still Stumbling Around StumbleUpon?, or StumbleUpon 101

Posted on January 14, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Technology | 1 Comment

It was almost a month ago that I sent out a cry for help with understanding how to use StumbleUpon effectively. Alas, no help was forthcoming :( Never deterred, I’ve been experimenting and reseaching my proverbial butt off (the real one’s still growing unfortunately). So, I’ve created this basic primer to get y’all started so that others won’t have to put in the work that I have…

StumbleUpon as actually a very simple concept:

  1. Sign up and provide them with some of your interests,
  2. Install the…
