Awhile back I posted about my new house, and in this article I mentioned how impressed I was with my real estate agent Jorie Presswood and her negotiating skills.
What surprised me the most was when a few days later, my house article was ranked in the top 10 for Jorie Presswood - this got me […]

The other day, Spaceman3750 asked for more help on actually building readership to your blog on this post. That reminded me that I haven’t given a promotional tip for awhile, so I’m going to have to get my act together and start posting these more often! What the people want, the people get! Keep in […]

As you probably know, Jay and I are in a partnership developing sites; I usually try to get him involved in anything I’m doing online because we generally have the most success when we work together.

Awhile back we announced the launch of Easy By Design, our web design operation designed to take advantage of the contacts and ideas we’ve developed over the past year.
Today, Dave and I met in Waterford, Ontario, for a few hours of “working” mixed with a short game of Warmachine and me proving how crappy I […]
