More Cool New Stuff For My Android Phone
T-Mobile hasn’t even pushed out my “Cupcake” android update yet (I’m hoping next week) and I’m seeing new cool stuff that’s already previewing for the update after that. Hopefully one of them will help the battery life of my G1, but I’m pretty much resigned to the fact that it’s not improving until my next […]

Commenting On Other Blogs The Right Way
Yesterday I wrote about getting links to your site. One of the ways to do that is by commenting on other blogs. The only problem with that is if your comments are off the topic or completely self serving they will probably be deleted and never see the light of day. Worse yet, they can […]

Youtube Vs. Self-hosting Debate
There is an interesting debate going on at highrankings.com about whether it’s better to host your own video’s or use Youtube and embed the video into your page.
