  • Klein Camp 2019 at Temple University

    It’s been 11 years of Klein Camp (or the old name Barcamp News Innovation) at the Klein School of Journalism at Temple University. I’ve been going for most of them. Even though I’ve “escaped” journalism back in the late, ’00s I love to keep a thumb on what’s going on in the industry, especially during…

  • Google… Everyone’s Competitor

    SEO great Rand Fishkin wrote on the Sparktoro blog about how Google in now competing for eyeballs on the internet instead of trying to send people to relevant sites. I understand why Google is doing this. They want to surface the information for their users quickly and effectively. They want to make sure that people…

  • So Many Ways To Skin The WordPress Cat

    I’ve been using WordPress as my exclusive content management system for years now. I honestly don’t even remember how long it’s been. With all this time in the ecosystem, I’ve noticed something that I’m not sure I like or dislike. With WordPress the ecosystem is so robust with innovation that there’s a page builder for…

  • Email Is A Necessary Evil

    I honestly don’t know what I would do without email. It’s definitely a love hate relationship. Every time I try to use a project management system, it seems so much easier to send an email for what needs to be done. Though if the email isn’t done right, it’s worse than using a confusing project…

  • Mental Health and Entrepreneurship

    I’m a very positive person. I don’t often feel depressed. I’m a “the glass is half full” kind of guy. But more and more I’m hearing about how depression and mental health is becoming a big topic not only in my entrepreneur circles, but in business as a whole. This is a good thing. Having…

  • Jordan Paris and School

    So there is a guy on LinkedIn who announced he is giving a TEDx talk on why he thinks formal education and college is a waste of time and a scam. A pretty provocative stance if you ask me. Jordan Paris likes to position himself as a visionary of how to go about doing business…

  • Are WordCamps Dying?

    I’ll skip to the answer. No. In a WordCamp US recap article on Freemius Brandon Ernst talks about how WordCamp US had received some strong feedback about how it was run this year. He initially asks the question if WordCamps are dying? In the end he says no, and I agree. Honestly look at the…

  • A Great Explanation Of Google’s Bert Algorithm

    Britney Muller over at Moz did a great video on the Bert algorithm from Google. Take a look. Well worth the watch.

  • Matt Mullenweg, Automattic, & WordPress

    So many people are complaining about Matt Mullenweg and his “aspirations” for Automattic and WordPress.com. I don’t have issues with any of those “aspirations” or his getting investment from Salesforces. What I do have a problem with is that Matt has co-opted and confused the brand of WordPress. There is the self-hosted and open source…
