Oh My Wife’s Gonna Be So Happy

December 18th, 2008

So I’m a slacker, and I just decided to start looking for Christmas gifts today.  I toodled around on Amazon for a while, then zipped over to Overstock and thought I’d check out what they had.  I also mentioned it on twitter:

TechLH looking on overstock.com for gifts for the wife. any suggestions?

About 20 minutes later, I get a message from the O:

@TechLH Have you tried our gift finder? http://twurl.nl/ziedz8

Hey cool.  I can get ideas and spend money at their site (smart move, Overstock - or so I thought)

So I click over and punch in “for her”, her age and the fact that she’s my wife, and here’s what I get back

So, which should I get her?

Tuesday is Off to a Great Start

December 2nd, 2008

I left my house at about 5:50 this morning, and before I got out of the subdivision, I was sitting behind the flashing lights of a police car.

The officer finally walked up to the truck and I asked him what was up.  He asked where I was going, where I lived (umm, right around the corner where you just saw me leave from).  Asked for my license and then gave me some BS about ‘looking for a white Dodge pickup in the area’.  Yeah, ok.

There just happened to be one in the driveway across from where he pulled me over, so I pointed to it and said “there ya go”.  He smiled, gave me back my license and said have a nice day.

Not sure what that was all really about, but whatever.

Doing PPC to Get SEO Gigs

July 2nd, 2008

So here’s something interesting.  I recently did a search for ‘St Louis SEO‘ on Google.  For the first time I noticed that there are some PPC results on the page, and perhaps they always were.

What concerns me is ‘St Louis SEO’ isn’t really a very competitive term.  This isn’t exactly a hotbed for SEO services.  So why would an SEO company use PPC instead of just rank for something that is what they do?

I can hear the phone conversation with some of these companies..

“Do you rank for the services you provide?”

“Yes, look on the righthand side of the page - we are near the top”

The Job Interview

June 11th, 2008

For those of you that know a little about me, you’ll enjoy this…

The Job Interview

A guy goes to the Post Office to apply for a job.

The interviewer asks him, ‘Are you allergic to anything?’

He says ‘Yes - just caffeine’

Have you ever been in the service?

Yes,’ he says. ‘I was in Iraq for two years.’

The interviewer says, ‘That will give you 5 extra points toward employment,’ and then asks, ‘Are you disabled in any way?

The guy says, ‘Yes 100%…an IED exploded near me and blew my testicles off.’

The interviewer tells the guy, ‘O.K. In that case, I can hire you right now. Normal hours are from 8 AM to 4 PM.

You can start tomorrow at 10:00 - And plan on starting at 10 AM every day.’

The guy is puzzled and says, ‘If the hours are from 8 AM to 4 PM, why don’t you want me to be here before 10 AM?*

‘This is a government job,’ the interviewer says. ‘For the first two hours we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that.’
