How to find a college…

admin0 — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 18:01:48 +0000

Many of you know I am an engineer, and love anything mechanical. The question was posed to me the other day… How do I find a top engineering school?

We as it happens, I have a website for that… Find your Top Engineering Schools

The wonderful world of hats.

admin0 — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 19:48:41 +0000

I have the great fortune of working at a cool company that loves to sell cheap hats. We have the advantage of being the manufacturer, as well as selling direct to the consumer. The company has been around 143 years, and has accumulated quite a few surplus hats, so it’s time to clear the warehouse and sell direct to the public. Check out the site, and let me know your impressions.

New site…

Moving my marketing blog to www.CompuProphet.com this blog will remain my personal blog spot.

WordPress 3.0 and MU

admin0 — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 12:11:09 +0000

So I figured since WordPress 3.0 will now include the multi user system, I will try my hand at a blog network. I have a new auto repair FAQ site which would work well as a multi user blog network. The plan is to get experts for each vehicle to field questions and post unique content in exchange for a cut of the action. An example would be the Mustang FAQ network site I built yesterday.

On a side note, my site www.Garagereports.com is going well and has gotten a lot of auto repair shop reviews to date. I need to start promoting and hopefully it will turn into a real useful site for my visitors looking to find a quality auto repair shop.

Am I a coffee snob?

admin0 — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 14:24:13 +0000

I recently went to a local coffee roaster and bought some fresh roasted coffee and a french press. I have always heard that it’s the best way to brew your java, but I just never tried it.

I have to admit, it was a great cup of coffee and not once over the weekend did I have to use cream or sugar to cover up a bitter brew. I can honestly say that I will never go back to a regular coffee maker for my morning cup. At work or family gatherings it’s not worth the trouble of using the french press so I guess I will have to live with a traditional brewing method then. I guess that’s my answer to my original question, I am not a coffee snob… I appreciate the finer method of brewing but am willing to make compromises to not piss other people off waiting for a cup of coffee.

Auto Repair Shop Reviews

admin0 — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 18:59:13 +0000

Why do so many people distrust their mechanic? Because they should !!! There are way to many shady auto repair shops out there. I have been attempting to educate people for years about auto repair and finally build a website where people can leave auto repair shop reviews from the comfort of their sofa or desk. GarageReports.com is a domain I have owned for quite some time, and it’s about time I do something with it. What better way than to help people rate and review their auto repair shop and possibly help a neighbor from making a costly mistake?

Ski and Snowboard Bags.

If you are into winter sports like me, you need to check out the snowboard bag lineup at my employer’s site, LuggageOnline.com The ski boot bags make traveling to the slopes easy and stylish. It’s a relatively new line for us, but we have a great selection and as always, great prices to save you some money this coming winter season.

Updating An Old Friend…

admin0 — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:01:14 +0000

My auto repair site has been around for over 10 years, and it’s time for a face lift. The goal will be to improve navigation, page views per visit, and ultimately grow daily visitors. To get a good sense of the new site, check out the engines page for a peek at the new layout. I have also added advice on motorcycle ownership to the site. Future plans are to build out the car blog to include more Q&A plus maybe even some how-to videos.

Car Insurance Tips

admin0 — Mon, 04 May 2009 18:16:57 +0000

I have been in the automotive advice business for quite some time, and one of the most misunderstood topics has been car insurance. I am compiling a page over at AutoEducation.com with tons of car insurance tips. I think I will start off with a definition of all the terms like, premium, tort, comprehensive, collision, deductable etc. Then I will take a look at a common sense approach to comparing car insurance quotes. This should be very valuable information for you folks wanting to get the best policy and price on your car insurance.
