Throw this into the mix for your Halloween party!
I planned on starting this a long time ago,but I procrastinated and decided to start this yesterday. Took a few hours, but most of that was just finding the material I wanted. The production isn’t perfect since it was rushed, but overall I think it came out pretty good.
If anyone actually listens to this, let me know what you think!

I just stumbled upon this really great site called WAYBACK MACHINE-The Internet Archive. It has over 85 billion web pages archived from as far back as 1996! Ever wonder what your favorite web site looked like 5 years ago? You can type in the url and go back in time. Viewing Ebay from 9 years ago brings back memories for me. I think that was my most visited site back then.

I was on a Metal/Core kick for quite a few years, but when a lot of bands just started sounding exactly the same, I started getting into electro, nu-disco, insert your own danceable music genre name here, etc etc. From time to time though, I still need my Hard Music Fix and I think you do as well. Here is my gift to you today: The track entitled “EBB AND FLOW” from Misery Signals’ new album, “Controller”.

MS are from Wisconsin and formed in 2002 with vocalist Jesse Zaraska.
They released “OF MALICE AND THE MAGNUM HEART” which is one of the best metal albums ever created. Certainly in my top 10 of ALL TIME. The two guitarists in the band play some of the best odd time signatures ever heard in metal.

Jesse left soon after that release and Karl Schubach signed on and they then released the album “MIRRORS”, which is another top notch-almost perfect-metal album produced by Devin Townsend.

They have now just released “CONTROLLER”, and Karl has changed his vocal style and the amazing, crazy time signatures aren’t as prevalent. I’m Still warming up to it.

There is a TON of “streetwear” brands out there.  I can’t even keep up anymore. If you consider all the people who also use online services to get their designs printed on tees, then there is no way to keep up anyway.

A lot of great ones and some not so much, but in my first “inspirational” post I wanted to put the spotlight on my two favorite brands, Imaginary Foundation and Grn Apple Tree. I own quite a few tees from each. They both use excellent and original imagery, artwork, and typography. I feel there is no better brands to look to for great inspiration.

I’d say that this is a big deal for anyone that strives for good SEO techniques when building websites.
It looks like Google has changed their minds on the relevancy of Yahoo and DMOZ links.
There used to be a point on Google’s Webmaster Guidlines page that said something like:
“Submit your site to relevant directories such as the Open Directory Project and Yahoo!, as well as to other industry-specific expert sites.”

Google’s John Mueller has commented:”I wouldn’t necessarily assume that we’re devaluing Yahoo’s links, I just think it’s not one of the things we really need to recommend.”
Another new step in the ever changing world of Google SEOing.
