My View from SMX Advanced, Edgewater Hotel

I often neglect my personal blog when I travel to SEO conferences. I wanted to share my view from the Edgewater Hotel in Seattle while I am at SMX Advanced… I highly recommend this hotel and of course, the conference, when you are in Seattle.

Continental, Running Out Of Time For Inflight Internet

Continental, I have flown a lot of miles with you and all of those miles were Internet (WiFi) free. I want Internet when I fly for over 3 hours – is that so much to ask? I’ll pay for it. I’d pay a lot for it. In December you announced that you would be offering

My New Velvet Hebrew RustyBrick Kippah

Today I want to the ultra-orthodox Jewish neighborhood named Geula and purchased some religious wear. One of the things we bought was a new kippah, a brown velvet one . I decided to have them sew on the name RustyBrick, but in Hebrew, on the Kippah. Here is a picture: Don’t I already have a
