Splashtop

Written by on January 19, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Today I picked up a new app for my BlackBerry Playbook called Splashtop.  It is a Remote Desktop application which uses your Gmail credentials to connect the app on the Playbook to the “streamer” application, which acts as a server, on any Windows or Mac computer you have.  You simply install the streamer on your Desktop at home (or wherever) and sign into your Gmail account through the application.  Then launch the app on your Playbook (it is also available for iPad and Android tablets) and sign into Gmail through this app also.  The apps then connect automatically and you can see your desktop from the tablet, and control it.  The connection is a bit slow, as expected, but considering all that it is doing, it really isn’t that bad.  Right now I am on a WIFI connection at work, so I’m interested to try it from an open connection at home or elsewhere.

Today we leave for Hawaii.  I’ll be posting, hopefully every day, about our trip so keep watching.  Of course I will share some pictures too.

Cool New Site

Written by on January 17, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Uncrate is a cool new site that I stumbled onto tonight at work.  One of the guys I work with was linking some cool things from this site, so I decided to browse around.  The Darth Vader Apron (pictured) is cool, and I might try out this Bloody Mary Mix.  Apparently they post 5 new things every day, so this would be a cool blog to follow via RSS or email.  It looks like I’ve found another site to watch daily, in addition to Woot and Joecigar.

Get a LinkBack to your blog from a PR6 Site

Written by on August 10, 2007 · Leave a Comment

John Chow dot com is a blog that helps you make money online. He is offering to link to your blog if you review his blog.

From his site (this is good info, so I am reposting it.)

The Importance Of The Anchor Text

This post is also a lesson on the importance of linking with keywords or phases. In the Evil Nintendo Wii Blog Contest, I asked people to link to me using “root of all evil.” If you do a Google search for that phrase, you’ll see I am now ranked number three, just behind Wikipedia and RootOfAllEvil.com.

While it’s fun to rank for root of all evil, not many people search for that phase. However, according to the Overture keyword selector tool, there are over 44,000 searches every month for make money online. If I can get on page one of Google for that phrase, it would mean a flood of new traffic.
