As I mentioned in the podcast I did on friday, the Geekcast.fm crew, as well as myself and a few others acquired a new "fan" last week.
A person acting anonymously under the pseudonym of "Marky Zarc" posted a blog on blogspot, entitled lorenfeldman.blogspot.com including posts that not only made fun ...
No video for this post today. It's just pure geekery that just cannot be made any less geeky or any more interesting by staring at my talking head.
Have I mentioned before that I <3 Disqus? I think maybe I have.
And a big thanks to the disqus guys for ...
Continuing on my everquest to reach blog comment nirvana, I've been evaluating some of the blog comment systems out there.
I really think that there's a sea-change coming in the way bloggers and readers interact. The lines will blur between the authors and the readers, and even between blogs. ...

It's Halloween!
Here at MechMedia (my company), Halloween is our Christmas. Our most popular website is a costume ideas and community ...
If you know me well, you know I talk like a truck driver. I do only talk like that among my close friends whom I'm totally comfortable with, or a bunch of other guys tailgating. Lucky you if you're one of them.
A few weeks ago I was ...
I posted recently about the dofollow effort and I actually think the number of manual comment spammers has increased since then. I haven't counted so it's just a gut feeling.
