Tonight, while taking a leisurely ride home, I saw some friends from way back when. Conversations ensued, and somehow the inevitable “What are you doing these days?” came up.

Now SEO (Search Engine Optimization for the uninitiated) sounds pretty complicated, so I usually just say something along the lines of… “Well, you see, errr, I make websites do a lot better in Google. And that makes the people who own that site very happy.”

Well this particular night something unusual happened. The guy I was talking to had heard of SEO. And he said, “Well, that must be about the most boring job in the world.”

I’ve never promised that my design sense is all that great. I’ll leave that to the specialists who could run circles around me in Photoshop, Fireworks, or Illustrator.

But, if you come by this blog much, then you likely noticed that a redesign silently took place.

It was time: I’d heard the last design was everything from “offensive”, “childish”, and downright terrible. The sad thing is- I agreed.

So I finally made time to redo everything. Inspiration awards go out to Dive Into Mark, colourlovers, and the entire redesign was powered by Gala Apples and Chipotle.

OK, it took a lot of prodding, but I finally joined LinkedIn.  First impressions are that it’s a pretty cool site to use for networking.The only thing is: You have to have a lot of LinkedIn connections.
