Recently I put up a post on TiVoBlog.com which criticized TiVo for not keeping their blog up to date. Thomas Hawk was nice enough to notice this post and recommend that TiVo hire me or Dave Zatz (another great blogger) to blog for TiVo. Hey TiVo, if you need some help on your blog let me know! I’d be more then happy to help!
Thanks Tom for the compliment! Good luck with Federated Media!
Shell and I are totally addicted to 24. We started watching the first season this past weekend. Every time we finished an episode, we wanted to start up the next one because it is so good. We have a long way to go before we’re fully caught up…..
Here are some screenshots that I took of the WordPress 2.0 admin interface.
My copy of Naked Conversations is on the way! All the reviews that I’ve read say that the book is wonderful. I’ll let you know what I think….
Here’s a review of the book taken directly from Amazon.com
For the past five years, Microsoft employee Scoble has maintained one of the most popular blogs on the Internet. Mixing personal notes with passionate, often-controversial commentary on technology and business, his blog is “naked”—i.e., not filtered through his employer’s marketing or public relations department—a key part of its appeal. In this breezy book, Scoble and coauthor Israel argue that every business can benefit from smart “naked” blogging, whether the company’s a smalltown plumbing operation or a multinational fashion house. “If you ignore the blogosphere… you won’t know what people are saying about you,” they write. “You can’t learn from them, and they won’t come to see you as a sincere human who cares about your business and its reputation.” To bolster their argument, Scoble and Israel have assembled an enormous amount of information about blogging: from history and theory to comparisons among countries and industries. They also lay out the dos and don’ts of the medium and include extensive statistics, dozens of case studies and several interviews with famous bloggers. They consider the darker aspects of blogging as well—including the possibility of getting fired by an unsympathetic employer. For companies that have already embraced blogging, this book is an essential guide to best practice. (Feb.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

I’m begining to think that geeks don’t click on Google ads. Out of the three sites that I run google ads on (tivoblog, raianofamily and this site), the site with the highest click through ratio (CTR) is my family site! Is this because geeks just don’t click on Google Ads? I know that I don’t on them

For the past two months, I’ve used nothing but Firefox for my browser. I tried to do this about a year ago however, Firefox wasn’t as mature as it is now and I just wasn’t happy with my browsing experience. If you haven’t tried out Firefox yet you really should. It will truly change how you experience the web.
…You buy your own adsense ad 
. Do a Google search for Alex Raiano and you will see what I am talking about (notice the right hand ad).
Why would I do this you ask? Why not .
