I got these in an email. Apparently these posters are supposed to be glued to the outside of your garage door so passer-by’s can see what appears to be the inside of your garage. I guess they’re from Germany or something. Nifty idea. The jet with the folded wings is my favorite.
What to buy for the SEO on your list?
They’ve for sure got some web project going that they could always use a link for, and the best thing you could give them is a link they don’t have to work hard for. Even if it’s just to their own blog, they can figure out some voodoo on how to redirect that link power to whatever they want.
I’ll start. So here you go, Brian, Merry Christmas.
Got a really cool tool that you use if you’re an SEO? Give a subscription to your SEO friend. I know you want to keep it quiet on what really works for you, so maybe you give a subscription to what you used to use and thought was the best until you found what you actually use now. Or maybe you’re nicer than that and give a subscription to what truly rocks. Either way, paying for someone’s subscription that they base their livelihood on is about the best thing you can give professionally, other than a killer bonus if the SEO works for you. But yeah, fat chance of that unless the employer really values you.
There is no chance you’re going to be able to figure out what your SEO will actually like, and if by some miracle you do, they will want the better version of what you bought. So unless you find something on their wish list you are actually willing to pony up for, just give them an Amazon Gift Card.
Disclaimer: I am basing this on a few SEOs that I know who are all pretty much all the same. Quirky (and not always in a good way), super smart, and very picky and focused on success. There’s probably some other types of SEOs but I don’t know them.
Vio forwarded this from co-workers. In case you didn’t know how pumpkin pie is made, now you do.
I got a tour of the ZGF building from Roger who works there. I’m very impressed - some very cool stuff like windmills, radiant cooling & heating and the design itself is fantastic too.
They use rainwater for toilet flushing, which is super cool. But what really cracks me up is the signs that the City of PDX forced them to install at the urinals. It’s bit fuzzy in the photo but says “Rainwater - do not drink.” To which I say, “Really?!”
I was walking along the downtown waterfront area today at lunch, and saw this little house boat. It doesn’t look like it would float well, or do very well anywhere that there is waves.
It’s kind of odd to see 4 chairs on top of it, because it doesn’t look like you’d fit 4 people inside. Kind of cool though, and very much weird Portland.
It’s starting to get about that time that I am going stir-crazy being in town again. I love Portland in the summer time but I am dreading the fall/winter time coming up fast. It probably doesn’t help that Mike & Rusty just went down to visit Ty in Mexico and that I couldn’t make the trip - I wish I would have but I’ll have to wait for next time I guess.
So I’m trying to figure out what sounds like fun, and yet is reasonably priced on the budget. Ray suggested Thailand which would be fun, but kind of a long way. I’m kind of liking the idea of heading to Mexico, then on down to Costa Rica, Nicaragua and El Salvador. Flights to Costa Rica or Mexico seem like they would be a lot cheaper than Thailand too and a whole lot closer. No idea what the hotels down there would cost tough.
Or, I could do something a bit more traditional and head to Hawaii again and stay at my friend’s Maui vacation home rental. I was in Kauai last year, and been to Oahu a bunch of times when I was younger so seeing what Maui is all about would be fun too. Then, there’s always the option of a quick getaway at Cannon Beach and staying in one of those quaint little hotels.
Ah, the choices. Just thinking about the options is 1/2 the fun. Paying for the actual trip, not so much.
I knew there was a reason I didn’t log in to check it very often. Ugh. At least it’s come back to be more than what I started with.
