Re: Your site will succeed or fail in the first 10 seconds

Thanks for the common sense. It's obvious that there has to be stuff on the site good enough to engage the user. It is definitely something that I am working on.

Re: Ethical Meat vs. Meat Hype: A Look at “All Natural”, “Grass-Fed” and Other Half-Truths

You should take a look at the book "Maker's Diet" it goes into the whole grass-fed discussion. By the way, there is grass fed and grass finished. Many grass fed cattle are fed grass most of the time but are fed corn at the end of the process (finish) process.
What I thought was interesting in the book is how it talked about how our bodies are designed to eat both fruits and vegetables and meat ... the way our teeth are set up, the way our stomach digests food, etc.
Also, the way a cow's digestive system is set up is to eat grass-like material, and that when a cow eats something else, that the physical makeup of the beef is different.
The conclusion in a nutshell is that if you eat beef from a cow that is properly raised the way it's system was designed, the beef will actually be good for you! If you eat beef from a cow not properly raised there will be a cascading effect (negatively) on our bodies.

Robert: I'd love to see these videos but the seesmic player loads up but will not play the video for me (at work). Your Podtech player works fine as well as Kyte. Is there a way you can put the videos there as well? :)

@searchengines: When the video displays, click pause and wait for the video to load (check progress bar). This takes maybe 3 or 4 minutes but takes much less time than watching the whole video. Then you can reposition the play spot on the time-line with your mouse just fine. I did it with this video actually.

I thought that the videos were great and they got me hoping... I posted my comments on this in Kyte at:

We'll see (hopefully) what Google has up its sleeve today!

When I watched the qik video, the gears in my head quickly started turning, and out popped this idea:

Robert,

My back has been having a hard time when I've been lugging around my laptop in a backpack. Thanks for the info, as a result of this post I have bought the same bag. The store had to special order it for me so I don't have it yet (I should be picking it up on Tuesday).

Thanks again!

Re: Help Loic Le Meur (Seesmic) and John Furrier (Silicon Angle) find new hosting

Orville Chomer — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:11:32 -0000

http://www.hostmysite.com/ has been good for me. Granted my site is small and run in a shared hosting setup. But for about $25 a month I get 24/7 customer service with an actual human on the phone.
When I have needed to call about something, there was usually little or no waiting on hold before I got to talk to someone who could help me.

FYI: The FriendFeed links in this post don't seem to be permalinks, when I click on them it says "Page Not Found."

I don't like reading all the way across as mentioned before. And the white everywhere actually hurts my eyes.

Re: The neat thing about blogging design…

Orville Chomer — Fri, 01 May 2009 18:07:11 -0000

too bad things couldn't be set up where the User picks the style template and sees the blog in their own browser just the way they want. :) I don't think Wordpress does that though...
