Week in Review (4/28 - 5/4)
Posted on May 5th, 2008 by GrandmasterB under Week in ReviewIt’s that time again kiddies! GrandmasterB took the day off yesterday from blogging to do some springtime landscaping on the back forty. I must say that if there’s one thing that I absolutely cannot stand it’s manual labor. My soft blogger hands were not meant to be digging holes; they are better suited here at the computer. Can you imagine if I would’ve gotten a splinter? That would’ve been awful, I don’t even want to think about it…the horror!
Other than my landscaping nightmare yesterday the week was fairly uneventful. I did see the Rockies get pounded on by the Dodgers 12 - 7 on Saturday night at Coors Field. The sting of the loss was numbed by a few pints of In Heat Wheat from the Flying Dog Brewery. If any of you are near Coors Field for a game or for leisure definitely check out the Blake Street Tavern (23rd and Blake). They’ve got great grub and serve all of Flying Dog’s finest brews. If you’re there during the day you can get a tour of the Brewery; which by happenstance is located next door to the tavern. I highly recommend you check them out!
With that shameless plug out of the way…onto the week in review!
April 28: To Dump or Not To Dump? - The frustration with EntreCard visitors dumping and running had gotten the best of me, so I decided it was time to address the issue. Apparently, the image and title did enough to cause a hailstorm of reactions from across the blogosphere. I even received a response from EntreCard founder Graham Langdon. The comments regarding the post are great…check them out.
April 30: GrandmasterB Has New Digs - Finally after what seemed like an eternity of contemplating my web hosting quandary I decided that Top Hosting Center was the host for me. I moved the site over late Wednesday night and was up and running within a few short minutes of moving the DNS. So far I am extremely pleased with the level of service and support I have received from THC. If you’re in the market for hosting you gotta check out what they have to offer.
May 1: Improving Your Google PageRank - With the recent Google PageRank changes GrandmasterB dot com received a PR1. Pretty exciting for a relatively new blog, but is it enough? I decided to do some investigative work to determine what helps when Google looks at your site to determine your PageRank
May 2: Economic Stimulus and Another Year Older - GrandmasterB turned 35 today and what better way to celebrate than a kick in the junk from the IRS. I was expecting to see my economic stimulus deposited into my account. The only thing I got was completely irate and a hankering to kick some policy maker in the ass. Either way…happy birthday to me.
That’s all for this weeks edition of the Week In Review. Check back this week to see what else happens in the land of GrandmasterB. I’ll be doing my review of Iron Man later this week (that is once I see it). I can’t wait! Don’t forget if you like what I’m writing…please subscribe to the feed.
