I Don't Like Flash, But Time Clocks Are Cool

Okay, yes, I don't like Flash overly much because of how unfriendly it is for web sites. Yes, it is pretty to look at but there are many problems with it.

  1. Search engines don't see it. So, building an entire site in Flash is a bad idea, unless you want to end up at ranking number 2,034,923,543,294,574,514 on any search engine.
  2. Bandwidth. The larger you make it, the less time people will hang around.

BUT, I saw this over on Wil Wheaton's blog and it is totally cool, Flash clock.

buy the book, blog your world, feel like a million bucks

Just in case you didn't know, I co-wrote Blogging For Dummies! Before you send me any congratulations, questions, flowers, or blow me any number of kisses  - why don't you go buy ten copies and make me rich and famous.  

Or you could just buy a copy since it is a really good book and it has loads of great information for those of you out there who want to jump into blogging because it is fun and exciting.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.
