Grab a cup of coffee and sit down for this one, it’s a long, interesting, and informative story you will […]

I churned out the new version of M.I.B. this week and I’ve got to admit, I’m pretty impressed with what Jon was able to cook up. He’s got the design down pat! Love his work and if anyone is looking for someone to help with their design, let me know because I’m happy […]

Ok, I’ll bite as I’ve been tagged 6 times now. Everyone says it is building their Google Page Rank (currently 3/10) and Technorati Authority (currently 60 and 124,139), and I don’t want to be the party pooper. I’ll check up on the PageRank and Authority later in the week to […]
