The Art of The Daily Monster

Posted by Pixelhead


I just saw a DailyMonster video the other day, and was mesmerized by the video. Since I enjoyed it so much, I thought why not post it here so everyone that visits Pixelheadonline can see it as well.

I wonder how long it takes to create such a cool video?

Techcrunch Top 20 Social Media Sites for 2008

Posted by Pixelhead


I was just checking out the Techcrunch post about the Top 20 Social Media Sites for 2008. They used stats from a service that included Blogging platforms as social media sites.
Blogging platforms which include Blogger, then my favorite, Wordpress. That is unless you call Myspace a blogging platform, I don’t, but it would be second behind Blogger. The list had Facebook as being the number 2 site behind Blogger.

I myself would not include blogging sites on a social media list, that is just me though.
At any rate there are quite a few sites on the list that I have never heard of…sounds like I have some investigating to do. You know what that means don’t you. More Social media blog posts. Yeah.

Of the twenty, I use or have profiles on Blogger, Facebook,Myspace, wordpress, and of course Flickr. I have heard of Yahoo Geocities, Window Live Spaces, Six Apart, Friendster,Bebo, and Scribd. But the others - Hi5, Orkut, Baidu Space,56.com, Webs.com, Lycos Tripod(Lycos is still around?), Tagged, imeem, and Netlog I have never heard anything.

Goals for 2009

Posted by Pixelhead


Last year, our 2008 Goals were pretty relaxed. Mind you we still progressed on our long term goals, which were written down the previous year.

What are my Goals for 2009?

What are my Goals for 2009?

I believe they were something like buy a second house, and pay down our debt, and work towards buying a beach house. We did make progress towards buying that beach house by working on the other two…but we still are quite a few years away from that goal.
However this year, I am going to make a promise to come up with some goals, and to revisit them at least four times throughout the year.
I am not going to write the complete goals here, but they will be something like this:

  1. Attend church regularly and read the Bible on a daily basis.
  2. Pray daily.
  3. Increase our tithing to well over 15%.
  4. Double our business income.
  5. Develop and implement our SEO training program with new Baldydog staff.
  6. Rebuild Baldydog.com using Wordpress as the CMS.
  7. Write at least 1 blog per week here on Pixelheadonline.
  8. Physical exercise 3-4 times per week.
  9. 1 outing per month with my kids individually.
  10. Take at least quarterly vacations with my wife.

These are some short term and long term goals mixed together.  Lizzie and I will be finalizing our goals, both business and personal, on our upcoming ski trip to Park City Utah.

Well this will be my last blog post for 2008, I hope everyone has a safe and groovy New Years.

Do you have goals for 2009?

Need a Job? Start a blog!

Posted by Pixelhead


Liz Strauss post A 5-Step Plan for Work in a Time of No Jobs and 25 Services that Could Be Sold Separately inspired me to create this post. The video is a bit long winded, so I’ll try and summarize the points I was trying to make. Oh, I came to Liz’s post via Joe’s post This Weeks Helpful Reads… Week 139.

Summary Notes

In this economy, jobs are really hard to come by. Even the low paying jobs like dish washers are competitive. I am suggesting that that anyone who is in the job market, should start a blog to help get a job.  Posts on your blog could include:

Wordpress Update and Merry Christmas

Posted by Pixelhead


Last week I updated Wordpress. In so doing the settings were changed and the link structure setting was changed to custom, where previously it was set to the date-name structure, so anytime a visitor or myself tried to visit a post, the result was a page not found.  After being frustrated by the host support, I decided to do a little tooling around this morning in the updated WP back office, and I realized the link structure setting was different. One click and voila it was fixed.

I also noticed prior to this incident that when I tried to get to the blog, occasionally I would be redirected to the home page…I believe Paul of Newhomesection sent me an email telling me had similar results. And thanks to the  Marbella Spain Real Estate site blogger who notified me as well. My webhost said that there was a redirect in the HT access file. Got to hate when that happens.

Hmm..still seems to be redirecting to the homepage..I deactivated the “comment relish” pluggin which is a pluggin that sends a thankyou email to first time commentors…that may have done the trick.

Well at any rate, I had a little vacation from the blog and am now back in full swing. Until my current host has the one click update to Wordpress 2.7, I should be groovy.

Since the holidays are fast approaching, this will also serve to be my Merry Christmas

Ice on our trees out front..nice sunset.blog post. I have been posting pictures for the 2008 Christmas Season on Flickr, if you wish to check out my pics, just click on the ice picture to the right. Until my next next post, I wish everyone a blessed holiday if you are celebrating it. Be safe, ttyl.
