Meet the West Michigan 8…
Next Friday, I’m going to meet some of the greatest artists in the world. You can, too.
They’re going to be right here, in downtown Grand Rapids, at the Eyekons Gallery.
You can meet (most of) them personally and see their latest works.
So who are these dudes?
Why give ideas away?
“…ideas are easy. Doing stuff is hard.”
(above quote from Seth’s Blog.)
Spec work is unethical.
Ideas aren’t spec work.
Work is work.
Please make a note of it.
Michigan Women Bloggers, Part II

But… do a search engine […]

When you find a look you like in PowerPoint, simply hit “Save As…”
Instead of saving your […]
What’s Worse: Looking Bad or Smelling Bad?
It’s August. It’s Hot. It’s Humid.
So what’s worse: looking bad — or smelling bad?
Take the silly Friday poll.
Groovy New Google Maps Feature
Goody! Google Maps has a groovy new feature that lets you easily embed a map within your web pages. It’s so easy to use!
Simply go to Google Maps, and enter a real-world address. Your real-world office, perhaps?
Hit “Search Maps”.
Click on “link to this page” — and you are now presented with a new feature “Paste […]
Office Desks are Important in a Wireless Age
When I attended a Microsoft Seminar last week, the presenter said that office furniture - desks, in particular — are unnecessary in a wireless, high-tech age. He might have been joking — if he was, it’s a poor joke. After all, he was presenting in Grand Rapids, Michigan — the home of […]
Everything you want to know about Canonicalization…
Canonicalization is important. If you haven’t set a canonical at your site, do it now.
If you don’t know what canonicalization is and you have a website, keep reading.
In short a canonical is a URL naming convention. Are you www.something.com — or are you just something.com — without the www in front? It makes a big […]
