Shit at SEO? Client breathing down your neck and you need to show traffic increases? I have a simple idea that should enable the less scrupulous of readers to show ongoing increases in traffic. Now before people talk about this idea being black hat/illegal/morally wrong this is only an idea, a thought, a question. Not […]

Some of the more observant of you will notice that I change my Twitter bio from time to time. Over the last week or two it’s been the image above… I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I’ve never written for Wired, Mashable or Vice. However. My lack of writing ability or […]

I recently read a very interesting post, A quick way to make people feel bad about their whole lives. As you can probably imagine from the title it’s a sad, negative post that shows you a quick, cheap way of making others feel bad about themselves. Great! Here’s how it’s done: “All it takes is […]
