07 Nov 06 RSS Feeds Defined
“The internet is a series of tubes, and feeds are sort of the trucks that drive through the tubes to the widgets.” - Eric Lunt, Feedburner (via GigaOM)

05 Oct 06 Fun With Google Code Search
Google released a really good code search tool. So, of course, instead of using it for something useful I went straight to the fun searches:

27 Sep 06 Firefox Feature Request
If I visit a site X number of times in Y time period, and that site has an RSS feed, ask me if I want to subscribe. It would look something like this:
This should probably be cleaned up a bit and maybe add a button for OK and Cancel and a checkbox to not annoy me about this again. This would help me since I can't seem to remember to subscribe to some sites even though I view them fairly often. Yes, I'm suggesting adding a feature instead of fixing my brain.
26 Sep 06 Squirrel Jerky
A couple weeks ago, I was watching the Fox NFL pregame show. During Frank Caliendo's segment, he brought out a box of food (to feed Terry Bradshaw) which said Squirrel Jerky. There was a faint "www." and ".com" on either side of it so I figured Fox had some cool site they put up there. They didn't. The domain wasn't even registered.
So, I registered it to see if it was getting any type-in traffic. For the first few days, I redirected it to hailtheale.com since I was getting ready to run to watch a game and didn't want to spend the five minutes it would take to set up hosting and a home page. I didn't really see any more visitors than normal on that Sunday or the next few days in my stats. Maybe those less fortunate souls that don't have HD couldn't read that there was a domain name there? Maybe I'm just a geek? Either way, I decided to put up something there so now you have a really stupid page at squirreljerky.com
Over the next few weeks when I get some free time (ha!), I'll research the feasibility of making this an actual resource for squirrel jerky and related products. I do silly things like this as a test of what works regarding SEO, making money from sites, and just for fun. Yes, I'm a dork.

What am I going to do w/out my feeds? Oh, the horror!
